Re: G1X optical teleconverter 1.8x - first impressions -

Ok, here are the promised 100% crops. Have not done this before, so hope it works out and is helpful...

The crops show that the optical teleconverter does help significantly. However, I am a little confused about the results, as the 806mm photo shows almost the best result... am I missing something here...

It would be nice to be able to compare with other converters, I would be especially interested in a comparison with the Raynox DCR-2025PRO 2.2x. So, if there is anybody out there who has used on (preferable on a G1X), I would love to hear from you.

112mm @ 100%

202mm @100% (112mm & 1.8x optical converter)

168mm @ 100% (112mm & 1.5x digital zoom)

213mm @ 100% (112mm & 1.9x digital zoom)

383mm @ 100% (112mm & 1.8x Optical converter & 1.9x digital zoom)

806mm (4x optical zoom & 1.8x optical converter & 4x digital zoom)
