Hi.
I've had my FZ330 for just under a year and have certainly made good use of it. I like that it has a fixed range aperture at full zoom, but do wish I could go a little further as it is only 12mp and cropping can be limited.
I've kept thinking about upgrading to something like the FZ2000, but the price is too much given the amount I use it. Until just recently, I didn't realise you could extend the zoom range with a tele conversion lens. I just want confirmation on weather these two parts are correct for what I need for the FZ330.
I also tend to prefer using a tripod for videos and with the lens extended this far, i would want the thread on axis with it.
So I could do with a tripod mount ring lens collar. But I don't know what to look for in terms of one that will fit this camera and it's adaptor and conversion lens.
Anyone had experience with any of this setup with this camera?
Thanks.
