With the lens hood attachment that came with your camera, any standard lens will work. The 2X lens was the one that Sony sold, before discontinuing the series. The 2X is the one I have, yet, I rarely used it because the benefits were minimal. I'd suggest going to a camera shop and asking to try out a few lenses with your camera to see which one you like, and then buy online to save your money.

Yes, you'd have to add a Depth of Field Adapter and you can then use Canon or Nikon SLR lenses. I built one for my HV30 here: http://www.youmademedoit.com/diy-35mm-dof-adapter-for-canon-hv20hv30hv40/ -- if you're interested, I'd consider selling it.

That lens is not on Sigma's list of compatible lenses for their TC's. http://www.sigmaphoto.com/teleconverter-compatibility

I have the canon eos t1i. From what I read, all of my lenses are compatible between the t1i and the t5i. I have been considering an upgrade and lenses were the least of my worries.

Merry Christmas Deborah. Here is the link for the lenses that are compatible with the Nikon teleconverters. You will want to get one of the professional lenses to use their teleconverter. Kenko pro line of teleconverters will probably work ok for your use with that lens though. http://www.nikonusa.com/en_INC/IMG/Assets/Common-Assets/Images/Teleconverter-Compatibility/EN_Comp_chart.html

The teleconverter I purchased was for Canon product and would only work on certain lens types. You'll need to review the Nikon compatible teleconverter specifications and check with Nikon to determine what lenses it will work with.

The Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras @ $144.00 will work with your camera, which to me, is a nicer lens compared to the Sigma 55-200mm f/4-5.6 DC Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras, they both should work with your Eos 5D Mark II, I can not say what kind of results you will get as I shoot with three different Olympus cameras all with 4/3 system, I have both lenses and really like the results I get with them. Hope this helps. Just make sure you are specifying YOUR camera when ordering. Roll over image to zoom in

I bought both the Vivitar wide angle and the telephoto. I use them with my PadCaster to change the focal length of the iPad. I have been satisfied with both lenses, especially given the price. I have suggested to PadCaster that they design a turret so I can mount both lenses and easily switch between them. No response from them. (They are not Carl Zeiss, Canon, or Nikon quality, but they work for me.)

Do a google search on the teleconverter and you may find a site that lists the lens compatible with it.

Please ignore my previous answer. A telephoto would shorter, but this lens would be even wider which should be fantastic.

You may have to use an adopter to use on E-mount NEX5R.If you're looking for a marco lens for your 5R, probably you should wait for SEL30M35.

Check the panasonic website they make a telephoto lens and loads of filters. Amazon sells most of the items. I feel like this camera can adapt to many more situations than many other brands in this catagory or price range.

I'm not a G series owner "yet", but I think there are very few real choices for lenses. The 45-200 is the most likely choice for telephoto. And the 20mm/f1.7 "pancake" for indoors/low light. I'd think the lense you have is probably the better overall for average use, especially if the EZ zoom feature works as well as in the FZ series. I would think you could reach @150mm at 5EZ. The EZ zoom feature is supposed to be able to double the focal length, bringing the 14-45 (28-90) to 28-90 (56-180). And it is "free". Unless you need the long reach of the 45-200mm (90-400mm), which I can't do without, why spend the money?

I just perchased the H20. I'm use to having a view finder. I thought there may be a way to rig some kind of sighting device. The camera already has a means of sighting in. Looking from the rear of the camera, there is an elbow formed to the left side of the flash "hump". If you bracket your subject in this elbow it'll pretty much end up dead center of your shot. Hey, it's not hi-tech but the method works.

I have no idea what a Helios lens is. The only thing that matters is what connector is needed on each end. For me, I needed a pentax to an EOS (Canon) adapter. And it fits fine. A few years ago, for an old telephoto lens I have, I needed an M42 base (screw base) to an EOS camera. It works fine. Same company for the adapter. The only thing different is the adapter may not transmit an autofocus device through it to the lens. I don't really care because I do everything in manual mode anyway. I think that if you want that feature, there are some adapters out there that will do it but you will pay a LOT more for it. Ron
