Does anyone know if the new Sony VCL-DH1758 1.7x teleconverter works with the Dimage A1, A2, or A200?
Thanks, Ollie |

At first glance the only problem I see is it's thread-size. The Minolta A2 has a 49mm thread ring and the DH1758 is 58mm. I could be wrong, but I'd say it won't fit.
Here's a review Ifound http://www.pagenation.com/an/B0009OAFJ8.html Minolta makes a ACT-100 for the A2. I'm thinking about getting one. See my post about Washed Out Whites. Can't help but think a little more lens power would have helped that situation. Bill |

A 49mm to 58mm step-up ring should enable you to use it. I have the ACT-100 & it's a great piece of glass!

Well, here goes ordering a DH1758 lens and a 49-58mm step-up ring for my A1.
The DH1758's press from many non-Minolta users is very good (For example, http://boomzfoto2.fotopic.net/c668207.html - on a Panasonic FZ5K) so it's time to test the waters. I'll let you know how it goes. Ollie |

Review of Sony VCL-DH1758 1.7x teleconverter on an A1 Dimage (part 1)
I finally got my DH1758 teleconverter lens and put it on my Dimage A1. Although B&H's suggested it would take 10-15 days to get from US to Australia, it took 3 weeks and I was sweating for the last week. But it arrived! It has some really good features and some not so good features. I don't have another lens to compare with, so you will have to make up your own mind. Best points:
Cheers, Ollie |

Here's the other test photo with the teleconverter. Nice detail in the kangaroo - shot from about 30 metres away. |

Definately unuseable, in my opinion. Best to stick with the Minolta converter.
