TCDC10 Tele Converter for the S70 [Posted on 2005-10-18]
Excellent product. Easily and securely attaches to my Powershot S70 (with required lens adapter) via the tripod mount (the adapted has another tripod mount). Pictures are crisp and blemish free. The lens comes with a carrying case to keep it out of harms way. Very pleased with the product, plus with the added lenses I look like a pro!
So Big It Blocks the Flash [Posted on 2006-02-24]
I have just received this lens and have only tried using in in low-light environments, but immediately noticed a fairly serious problem in that the lens is so large it actually blocks the light from the flash from reaching the subjects and causes large shadows to appear in the lower right-hand third of every photo. Otherwise, the quality of the photos was good, so I expect it will work quite well in situations where the flash is not needed. It would have been nice to know ahead of time about the effect on flash photos before I made the purchase.
marginal utility for low-light close-ups [Posted on 2006-04-20]
I bought this lens to take some close-up shots of stationary items under low to moderate light environments. It is utterly useless for that application. The lens blocks the flash and you get a dark photo with a near-black 40% swatch in the lower right of the frame. It may be useful for those who plan to use it outdoors or in bright light situations, but if you're looking to take close-ups indoors, save your money.
The TCDC10 is a Lens Well Worth the Money [Posted on 2006-08-10]
While, it hasn't changed my life, I have absolutely enjoy using this lens along with my Powershot S70. It's a great tool when it's used as intended. This lens is designed to extend your camera's optical zoom by 2X. This is very useful if you're shooting in Camera RAW. The S70 doesn't enable digital zoom when shooting in RAW. Please keep in mind that this lens is for distance and landscape shots. It's not an alternative to your regular optical zoom. Nor is it for indoor pictures. You should use your regular zoom in these instances. People have commented that using the flash with this lens will create a goofy blur on your photo. This is true. But, you shouldn't be using your flash anyway. When taking a picture of a mountain, the little flash bulb isn't going to help if there isn't enough natural light. So, turn the flash off and try not to wait until nightfall to start taking pictures. You'll find that this is a great lens for those of us who want a little more zoom and are just not ready to swallow the cost of a good DSLR.
Canon Telephoto TDC 10 [Posted on 2007-12-19]
This is not worth any amount of money if you take even a small amount of pride in your photos. Sadly it is the only one I find available for an otherwise acceptable camera but the pictures are terrible even using a tripod. Blurry and washed out. But what did I expect a 1200mm zoom lense for $80 bucks? You get what you pay for. I read other negative reviews on this lense but thought I might get better results.
