Amazon Rocks outstanding product quick delivery 
by .. T. Barcinas (Lompoc.)
This lens conversion rocks, crispy clear results, I am not a professional photographer but man I feel like one with this on my DSC-H1 it really enhances it already outstanding ability to capture those special moments from a distance unlike the generic lens kit I purchased thru ebay. Don't fool with those junk lens kits this is the one to get, Amazon really comes thru
Great lens! Great price! by .. Kenneth P. Wert (Shamokin,Pa. USA)
(Note:) This is part of an email message I sent to the Amazon seller that I puchased this lens from last week.
*****************************************************************
I received the lens today. It is superb, and I thank you for the fast
service and great price. I'll be leaving you very positive feedback shortly
for this transaction.
I ordered this for use with my Cybershot DSC-F717 camera. The lens they used
to sell for this camera was the VCL-HGD1758. It sold for well over $200 and
had a list of $299 on Sony's website. Although it is not advertised as a
match for this camera, it seems to be the same lens as the VCL-HGD1758,
except it is in an ABS plastic housing.
I have compared the images I have taken with the lens I just received from
you with sample shots from the VCL-HGD1758 and they are equal if not maybe
even better. This lens weighs a lot less than the older one and should be
even easier to use. It appears to be an even better lens arrangement than
the heavier, higher priced unit.
I have noticed that the VCL-HGD1758 lens no longer appears on Sony's
website, nor will a search on their site turn up any reference to it. And
they do not refer to the VCL-DH1758 as a replacement for it. Sony does say
that this lens is to be used with Cybershot models with 58mm threads, but
only recommends the DSC-H1 model
What I'm getting at here is that you might consider advertising this lens
as a great telephoto lens for the DSC-F717 camera. You should be able to
sell quite a few to the users of the DSC-F717 model. They sold tons of those
cameras, and it also will match the DSC-F707 as well. I'm pretty sure that
it is a match for the DSC-F828 also. The price difference probably would
make it very attractive to owners of these cameras who aren't willing to pay
over $200+ dollars for such a lens. And, as you are probably aware, most of
the aftermarket lenses of this type are absolutely dreadful. On Ebay, even
the used VCL-HGD1758 goes for over $180 and although I was outbid on 2 of
them, I'm very glad that I bought this one instead. A very consistent
complaint about the VCL-HGD1758 was it's cost and extremely heavy build that
made it difficult to handle the camera when attached.
*****************************************************************
The VCL-DH1758 is a perfect substitue for the much heavier, more expensive VCL-HGD1758. I can'r say absolutely, in that I don't have the VCL-HGD1758 to compare directly, but I'm pretty sure it has less chromatic abberations.
A quality lens from Sony! by .. Brian5 (New Canaan, CT USA)
I bought this for use with my DSC-H5 which only has 12X optical zoom :) I felt that I wanted more zoom capability and have been very happy with the results.
I did research on non-Sony lenses and ruled those out pretty quickly.
Love This Lens! by .. Susan (Massachusetts, USA)
I bought this conversion lens for my DSCH-1 camera. I first used it on a recent trip to Cape Cod and I was thrilled with the excellent photos I was able to take of distant objects (mainly boats and shorebirds). I take alot of photos to use as references for painting projects, and I was delighted with the high quality shots I was able to get using this lens. I also fount it easy to go back and forth between using the tele-converter lens and the regular lens on my camera.
see this guide to using this lens with the Sony H1 by .. hudsonbard (NYC)
I am buying this lens because of A A Katz' excellent white paper on the Sony H1. This will tell you what you need to know to get the most from this lens on any camera.
