Telephoto lens test - Lumix Fz50 with DMW-LT55

The photos include a shot with the Fz50 set to 35mm plus the DMW-LT55 (a 1.7 teleconverter by Panasonic), then a shot with the Fz50 set at 420mm plus the 1.7, then a second shot (which includes boat, pier, and people) again with the Fz50 set at 420mm plus the 1.7.

The Lumix Fz50 with the Panasonic DMW-LT55 telephoto lens attached was resting on my flattened hand, which was upon a flat railing. Probably not as stable as a beanbag, but close. The camera was set to IS-2 (Image Stabilization, mode 2).

Images after the first four in this gallery were shot with the Fz50 mounted on a tripod. The shutter release was presumed to introduce enough camera movement so that Image Stabilization set to IS-2 would work. Spot autofocus worked fine with the DMW-LT55 attached, as did spot light metering.

On Thursday, Sept 14 07, the Fz50 with and without the DMW-LT55 was very useful along the Hidden Lake trail in Glacier National Park. Most of the Fz50 DMW-LT55 shots are included in this gallery. The Canon s70 was also used on that hike. The full collection of images is presented at https://pbase.com/aspergerian/hidden_lake_trail

The Fz50 DMW-LT55 shots taken on that hike have made me quite delighted to have the two items in my photo toolbox.

Thank you. I'm pleasantly surprised to see how clear and sharp the shots are.
Now I'm sorry I didn't pick it up *before* the tennis tournaments, LOL.

Nice series, Teresa. Gives a good feel for the capabilities of the teleconverter.
