| I'm constantly
receiving e-mail asking about lenses other than the one's listed here.
Sorry, but I haven't had time to review any others. These are the ones I
received for review when the magazine article was being prepared. |
 | Shooting with an Optional Telephoto
Lens |
|
| |
| I compared three accessory lenses.
Left to right, longest setting with the built in lens, 2X lens
from Tiffen, TC-E3ED 3X lens from
Nikon (72mm filters) which sells for $249, and 5X EagleEye
Zoom (37mm filters) which sells for $240.
The
built in zoom range of the CoolPix, at 3:1, is not very long.
Accessory telephoto lenses can greatly increase your range. The
Nikon was the heaviest, at 9.7oz, and sports a large, 72mm (filter
size) front element. It increases the CoolPix's telephoto to the
equivalent of a 345mm lens on a 35mms camera. The EagleEye, which
has an optional tripod bracket, extended the range even more, to
the equivalent of a 575mm lens. Each lens was sharp and had decent
contrast. Both the EagleEye and Tiffen lenses come in 37mm
size and require a 28mm adapter to fit the CoolPix. |
|
| Shooting with an Optional Wide Angle lens |
|
| |
| Nikon has two wide-angle lenses
available for the CoolPix cameras. The WC-E24 is small and
light but has more barrel distortion (notice the curvature in the
light pole on the left side of the picture) than the newer WC-E63, which
contains ED glass, but is larger and heavier and takes 72mm
filters. |
