Tsn-va1,2
BR, I share your question. I have a TSN4 and a Canon S2 which I have managed to connect using a Raynox DCR250 macro lense. It works fine but I can only manage to get 40x optical zoom (1500mm appprox). From what Kowa say it should be posible to get 144x with my camera and a TSN-VA2, although I suspect this is beyond the scopes ability to produce clear images at that level but 80x would be good. Its a lot of money to spend without trying first.

Although I have not used the TSN-VA2 I have used the TSN-VA1 which does not have as much eye-relief as the 2. I posted about this in the following BF thread:

Thanks Dalcio, it looks like it will do the job nicely with my Canon S2. There is quite a difference in cost between the TSN-VA1 & VA2 do you have any idea why. Perhaps the VA2 is a HD version. I know it has a different magnification but having so much on the camera (12x) I would proberbly not benefit from the top end due to lower light etc.dacol said:
