If the 12x optical zoom on the Canon S2/S3/S5 isn’t enough then you can add a teleconversion lens that will bring out details of distant subjects. Sony’s DH1758 is well known in the Canon S2/S3 community because the quality lens provides 1.7x more zoom without vignetting, soft corners, or sacrificed detail. The reason for this is related to the lens used for this adapter which is on par with the Sony H3 and this effectively turns a $300-$400 camera into a fairly close approximation of the telephoto lenses available for DSLR’s without having to spend thousands.
In addition to the potential for zooming in on objects farther away, this particular adapter also works well for being stacked on a macro lens. Not only does this increase the power of shooting in macro-mode or using macro lenses in general but it allows you to shoot a very sharp shot from farther away. This makes it easier to get great results for subjects that are likely to be disturbed or shadowed by close proximity. Depending upon the macro lens being used, you can expect to take a macro photo from between 7-10 feet away.
If you are in the market for a teleconversion adapter, you can’t go wrong with the Sony DH1758 for the Sony H or Canon S lines.
