Customer Reviews

Works well
Just got back from an Alaskan vacation and the lens worked well, it gave me that extra distance for the wildlife photos I wanted. I have also used it for some action shots from a soccer field sideline and I am happy with the results. I use it with a DSC-H50.

We love this product!!
For Christmas, I purchased the Sony DSC-H7/H9 Digital camera and we were so pleased with it. Then we decided to go with the Sony VCL-DH1774 74mm 1.7x lens so that we would be able to take clearer pictures of wildlife. We are really pleased with the quality of pictures we get using this lens. We can hardly wait for our trip to Yellowstone this summer!!!

Nikon D300 user amazed at results
Without the Telepohto the effective 35mm focal length is 465mm at 8.1 megapixel but it becomes an astounding 790mm with it. Want to get really crazy? When the image size is set to 5 megapixels, the camera can zoom to 18x. When set to 3 megapixels, it is set to 23x. In the 2-megapixel widescreen mode, the H7 can zoom to 25x. At the smallest 640 x 480-pixel size, users can zoom up to 76x! Then add the Telephoto - good luck getting a blur-free pic though.

Autofocus doesn't track fast moving subjects well unless you use manual focus which is klugy at best. But if you stay within the camera and lens limitations you can't beat this combo for the price. I take this combo on long hikes instead of my Nikon D300 w/18-200MM VR lens and am very happy with the results. Most people can't tell if they were taken with the D300 or the Sony.
