Does this let you focus at objects at ~12x telephoto zoom from a closer distance than with the normal lens setup of an FZ200?

Amazon asked that I reply to you so I guess I must.I sold this lens and the Panasonic camera about 4 years ago. It did not do much for me. I am much happier with a good DSLR and telephoto lenses. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

No, it doesn't control zoom lens. What they are indicating is that you can zoom in on the photo or live view.

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.

I used it for a little while but I returned it because the focus wasn't as sharp as I would have liked. The diopter adjusted but not far enough.

If you are using the macro lens that came with this kit, you will only be able to focus on objects no more than a couple of inches away from your camera. Put your focus on manual to adjust.

I would say yes. When you apply the zoom option, the beam get smaller and focused, creating a brighter effect.

The teleconverter works best with F2.8 lenses. AF may not work well at higher F stops and you may need to go to Manual focus

This is not a zoom lens, its a short telephoto. For your purposes a 18-200 f/3.5 will do nicely.

This lens works well with the zoom on your camera. It gives you a wider field of view no matter your distance from the objective, but you have to consider your distance away from the object before picking a lens to attach this wide angle to. I have been very happy with this lens, especially for the price.

I used it with the Minolta 200mm f2.8 and was not very pleased with the quality of the image. I was hoping to be to gain the distance, but, it took away from what quality I loved in the lens so I decided to send it back.

Not really. In fact, not even close. The field of view on the X100, even with the adapter, is still considerably wider, resulting in less compression of the image, for starters. Also, f2, on a wider lens will be a less OOF/creamy than 1.2 no matter what. The X100 will throw everything outside the focal plane out rather pleasingly for shots of objects fairly close, but anything in terms of a 1/2 body or full body portrait or the equivalent distance won't be anything like shooting with a tighter focal length with such a markedly faster aperture.

Yes it does. Because of the DX crop factor of the D200 this lens makes a (equivalent) 36mm f/1.4 lens. It's beautiful.

I own the fz150 and it is my understanding that it does work with the fz200.

Tele converters work best, with fast lenses if you are not going to use it with a 2.8 zoomOr a 105 2.8 VR Lens this will not work for you, if your shooting with a 3.5 or 5.6 as you will lose 1 F stop, when you use a teleconverter!

Yes, of course. This lens is just great to get the objects "closer".Greetings

T. Slay gave the right answer. That zoom lever only works on a couple of special lens models. That lever is very handy to use for exposure compensation, which I use often.

Yes. There is an adjustment next to the viewfinder that allows for fine tuning of the focus.
