Tele adapters. at DVinfo.net

There has been discussion here about wide-angle adapters and what folks use, but I don't see anything about tele adapters. I know the A1 has a 20x zoom but . . . shooting wildlife I could use more.

Anyone have experience with one they can share?

i am also interested in larry's question...are there any tele converters out there yet for the canon xh a1? In addition, any recommended macro converters? bill

It'll be hard to beat the A1's original zoom with a regular lens. I guess your best bet would be to buy a 35mm adapter and use a 500mm lens. You can buy a letus35 for 300$ plus a 500mm for 100$.

I can't believe a 100$ lens is going to be any good compared to the A1 lens - 100$? Was that a typo?
Interesting idea though...
