Fuji Finepix S7000 - Teleconverter lens?

[Dazbo5]

Thanks for your opinion Dan, it is much appreciated. Fuji only do a 1.5x converter, do you know if this is the one your dad has? I've heard that using converters more than 1.5x can cause distortion of the images so its best to stay with a converter of no more than 1.5x.

Thanks again,

Darren

My dad has that camera with a 2x lense on. The pictures without the lense and with the lense are very different. The pictures without the lense are sharper and have a lot more detail in it. In my opinion its not worth getting the lense, but its your choice.

I'm quite new to photography, especially aviation photography and have a Fuji Finpix S7000 camera. It has a 6x optical lens but it isn't quite powerfull enough to get my close enough to smaller aircraft. I was wondering if anyone has any experience of the 1.5x teleconverter lens which will give me a 9x zoom? Any experience of teleconverters in general would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Darren
