Hi. Love my H1 and decided to purchase the Sony 1.7x teleconverter lens for it. I received the lens with week and decided to check it out this weekend. I've attached the lens with the adapter, and notice that the zoom range is now 6.2x to 12x which I know is to eliminate being able to see the barrel of the lens in the lcd. I went into the menu settings and selected TELE for the conversoin lens. Now the little tele icon appears on the lcd.
My question is that the teleconversion lens doesn't seem to add much magnification. When I zoom to 12x with the tele lens on, the image appears pretty much the same as without it on. What am I doing wrong. I typically don't use digital zoom, so I have that turned off. Others have raved about how much extra magnification the teleconverter lens adds, but I'm not seeing it. Thanks!!

I wish I could help with this also but guess what... I'm having the same problem. I was expecting the zoom to be much better but it almost feels like it actually is limiting me... I guess this wasn't just me!

i also bought the sony 1.7 telephoto lens. I was experimenting with it and took a picture of a car across the street...it didnt look like much difference on the camera screen, but when i viewed it on my computer, i was able to read the tire size from the cars tire...not a huge difference, but definetely increased the closeness.... probably mostly hype to get us to buy extra product...lol 12x optical is very nice to start with...i love the camera
