我想問PANASONIC FZ-1
可以+d咩鏡頭呢??????

[tam_dominic]

TCON-17 1.7X teleconverter directly mount on FZ1 (good quality)
WCON 08 0.8X wide converter directly mount on FZ1 (poor quality)

I have a Cokin mount with 2 Gradual Neutral Density filters too.(highly recommended)

Kenko Macro lens +1 +2 +4 (bad quality)

Happy shooting !

其實我係beginner,唔知個d鏡有咩用呢??

[tam_dominic]

TCON-17 can reach subject 1.7 times farther.
ie max. 420mm x 1.7 = 714mm focal length. Good for birds shooting far away.

Gradual Neutral Density filter is to reduce the light coming into the image gradually. eg. when the sky is much brighter than the ground, use GND filter to reduce strong light from the sky. This is to make both the sky and ground properly exposed. In the other words : GND can keep the blue sky blue while the green grass on the ground still green. (When the blue sky is over exposed, the whole sky become white.)

Macro +1 +2 +4 is to enable the FZ10 get closer and closer to the subject (eg. small insect)

Cokin filter holder can hold different kinds of filter for specifil purpose.

Happy shooting !

iafai -- thx your question
tam_dominic -- thx your answers too

I can learn more from you --

One puzzle in my mind --
Should I fix TCON-17 1.7X teleconverter directly mount on the FZ1's hood or its len ?

thx

" Should I fix TCON-17 1.7X teleconverter directly mount on the FZ1's hood or its len ? "

Both thread size of FZ1 and TCON-17 are of 55mm size, therefore TCON-17 can attach directly on the FZ1 lens hood.

FZ10 is not 55mm thread so TCON-17 (55mm) cannot directly attach to FZ10.

Happy shooting !

FZ10 can use adaptor to attach the TCON-17 and with hotshoe.
2nd hand FZ10 cost about HK$3,000.-, adaptor cost about $400.-
New TCON-17 below $700.-

I attached TCON-17 to the len hood , 有鬆動的現象 , and TCON-17 cannot be attached tightly. Then I searched this url : http://home.kimo.com.tw/monkey.banana./PanaFZ1.htm

here said that I can change the original len hood to 鋁合金套筒, where can I bought it in HK ?

"因為TCON-17 好似要成7xx $hkd, 部fz-1都係貴1000蚊度,如果係買支鏡,不如買部新機"

Right, I have this feeling too.
Because ,we are the consumers who want to use low cost to enjoy good quality.

I love this FZ series (FZ1 , FZ10) ,
I consider the following before I bought :-

1. super ultra-len (12X ) + OIS -- make it top in super zoom field ( not compared with other conditions)

2. the prices are not too expensive (new water FZ1 = $1988 and new FZ10 = 46xx ~ 42xx or lower and 2nd hand FZ can be lower).

3. Because the above reasons (1+2).
A flexible zoom range dc nearly means that we can have one camera everywhere. No need to change lens. (Of course , they still have many limitations)

4, FZ's accessories are very expensive. If I add other accessories to FZ_ , the cost will rise up. If the cost rise up near to the top end prosumer level, why not buy top end prosumer dc. And if I decide to buy top end prosumer dc , why not choose cheap DSLR cameras for they have higher extendability. However, the price of a top end prosumer dc or DSLR is still out of my budget.

For me , buying FZ_ to enjoy photo taking in low cost is waiting for the price drop years later. Then, I can upgrade it to DSLR.

Therefore, I conclude not to add accessories to FZ_ except -
A good quality tele-len because this matter will still add value to FZ_ make their zooming range stand at first position (if not concern other conditions).

Thx

Rub the outer side of the hood using sand paper then the TCON-17 can sit firmly on the FZ1 hood.

Happy shooting !
