Question about use with Cyber-Shot DSC-H20 camera: If I purchase this lens to be used with the Sony DSC-H20 digital camera, do I have to purchase the lens adaptor, as well?

Joey, I have the H20 and I just received my VCL-DH1758. I also have the VCL-DH0758 (wide angle) you WILL need the adaptor VAD-HA. The adaptor works well and is actually pretty cool. It slides right over the built in lens and an 1/8 of a turn causes it to click and lock into place. The camera looks like a small DSLR, the photos are great and I've even received compliments on the look of the setup. If you haven't already done so, pick up the VAD-HA and have fun with your new setup!

Hi Zeus,The VCL-DH1758 was designed for the H1 and H2 series cameras and will work very well for you. It can also be used on any camera that has 58mm threads. These lenses are still quite popular among users of several other cameras beyond the Sony line.So, have no fear, it will be a perfect match for your H2.Regards, DarkStar

Yes, you'd have to add a Depth of Field Adapter and you can then use Canon or Nikon SLR lenses. I built one for my HV30 here: http://www.youmademedoit.com/diy-35mm-dof-adapter-for-canon-hv20hv30hv40/ -- if you're interested, I'd consider selling it.

Well, I did some research for you (Amazon, Google and the Sony site). The DSC-H3 did ship with a lens cap (it's shown in the owner's manual). However, it is not listed by part number, nor could I find any third-party supplier of the basic cap (there are generics for the "extension" lenses sold for this camera). Because this camera can take "extension" lenses which themselves take various lens caps (55mm), you'd need to be specific as to which lens you can the cap to fit. I recommend that you call Sony and ask if they still have the cap for the basic lens. I imagine they don't as the camera is a few years old now. This situation is one reason why I tell people to follow my general approach to such things...that is, when you buy a new camera or lens, buy at least one extra of the expendable accessories. That's why I bought extra 49mm caps for the NEX/Alpha lenses. Good luck. I hope this helps.

Larry, I've seen reviews that have said Sigma And Tamron lenses work well on the Pentax body. As long as you have the correct lens mount - I think its called a Bayonet Mount, so it should fit the camera. I think the information offered by Pentax Indicated all their lenses would work on the K20d, even a screw mount lens if you have an adaptoor. The Older Manual Pentax lenses will work but some features may be lost when photographing. For example If your using a Pentax SMC - M lens there will be no digital read out for the lens opening on the camera's LED screens and some of the lens information won't be stored with the photo's properties. With an M lens I think you are restricted to be able to only use a few of the camera modes like Manual and Bulb. I haven't read enough of the manual to fully understand it all. I mainly shoot in Manual while using the Pentax SMC-M lens. Pentax SMC-A Lenses will work in in all modes, I believe. If your using a manual Pentax SMC-A lens and have the apperature ring set on "A" then the camera wil record the correct lens information when the camera's shutter is tripped, it will also display the info in the camera's digital readout.. Any of the Pentax Bayonet Mount lenses that say they are for the DSLR will fit the camera. I have the Pentax SMC DA18-250mm, the 10-17mm Fish Eye and the 12-24nn Wide Angle. All are wonderful lenses. I have manual lenses That I used in the 1990's on my Pentax K1000 that I occassionally use on my K20D, They include a 150mm M Lens, 28mm A Lens, a 50mm A and M lens and a Tamron 250mm zoom lens. The 50mm has a lens opening of 1.7 Good Luck, Moose

I have this lens, it's very nice. I bought it for my Pentax K3 and recently started researching how to adapt it to a Pentax Q7 so I purchased a Pentax adapter K for Q. From what I read the adapters work but you will have to manually focus since there are no auto focus contact points on the adapters. I believe the same is true with all the less expensive adapters.

I have DSC-HX20V and fits in this carrying case. But practically, it is tight and I always fear that it will damage the camera (lens). So even though I have purchased, I never used it. Instead i am using this carrying case for putting other stuffs (phone, accessories, etc ) while traveling and I am using my DSLR carrying bag. The case should have little wider opening to let camera go in smoothly without touching. DSC-H90 is little smaller in size than HX-20V so I believe it will fit in but you need to be careful while putting into the bag. Other than that, this carrying bag is very good made of good material with enough space for putting memory card, extra battery, etc Hope this helps

I have the HS25 and there are threads to add filters and or other lenses on the lens. I purchased these but haven't used them yet.... I will get around to it one of these days.

If a lens works on a previous analog or digital Pentax (K-mount), it will also work on the K-3. With adapters, you can use even screw-mount lenses and other formats and manufacturers lenses too. Some restrictions regarding manual apertures apply, but the camera still works with them perfectly. As your lenses are digital ones, you'll have no problem at all.

Hi, I have the exact same lens and camera (purchased recently as an upgrade from d90), I will let you know when I do some test shots! I hope they work well together, because it is one of my fav lens. =]

I don't see the DSC WX60 listed for this product. Check out the one I've listed below. According to its description: "Compatible With: Sony Camera Cybershot DSC-WX60 / WX60v / WX60b ... series" (for data transfer & charging) Leto USB PC Battery Charger +Data SYNC Cable Cord for Sony Cybershot DSC-WX60 v WX60b

This will allow the use of a Canon FD manual focus lens on a Sony Alpha. It is NOT for the new style Canon AF lenses for the digital Canon. Also, in the menu of the Sony, the camera has to be set to fire without lens attached. This is in the custom menu listed as Release w/o lens and it must be set to enable. Make sure that you can find this option in the menu before you purchase the adapter. Not all of the Sony's have this ability and the entry level models may not. Put the mode dial on P,A,S, or M to check out the full menu.

I have a Canon. Not sure about Sony. Most Sony DSLRs have "in body" stabilization therefore no need to have it in the lens I guess. Mine has stabilization built in the lens.

You mean the DMC-FZ200 right? I ordered the conversion lens for it but I did not have right adapter, its still a mystery to me as to which adapter really fits perfectly onto it because the one I ordered did not.

You find definitive answer on Sony website. However, it is a fabulous lens and I use mine most of the time.

this works fine on the k20d. I have it on my k20d and it is a fine lens. great to have if you want a good prime lens.

I have used the Fotodiox adapter to connect an all manual Pentax K mount lens to my Sony Nex-6 with no problem. Be sure to set your camera to manual mode. It works great. If you keep your camera on aperture control it won't work (at least with the Sony). Also be sure to enable the release w/o lens setting.
