Notes on Kodak Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 1.4x 55mm Telephoto Lens ...- This lens is excellent and easy to use. It is fine in good light, and in less favorable light works well with a tripod.
I have seen some reviews that slammed the lens for poor low light handling, but come on, any lens this long is hard to hand hold in low light and slow shutter speeds.
I feel this lens is a great value.

Notes on Kodak Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 1.4x 55mm Telephoto Lens ...- Very satisfied with this lens ... the optics are a perfect match with my Kodak DX7590 digital camera. Yes, the lens does add weight to the camera, but I've never seen a good telephoto that didn't have some weight to it. The thing to remember is that this lens will cause some vignetting if you try to use it at anything less than full optical zoom on your Kodak camera. However the image clarity is amazing and it fits perfectly. The only slight drawback to this is you can't use the built-in flash ... it appears that the lens cuts down on the light too much (there is a lot of lens here). This lens is definitely best used in daylight conditions.
If you're looking at this lens for your Kodak DX7590 (or similar) don't forget that you will need an adapter - this screws onto the adapter the same as a filter would (55mm filter thread). The adapter fits easily into the internal threads around the lens housing of the camera and allow you to attach this lens, the wide angle, or other lenses and filters.

Notes on Kodak Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 1.4x 55mm Telephoto Lens ...- As far as my product I am satisfied with it. The only thing I dislike about it is my camera is a lot heavier with it on. I would recomend any one that orders to make sure they came ship thru the postal service for you can ship priority and get your merchandise within 2 - 3 days and it does not cost near as much as you would pay thru other companies.

Notes on Kodak Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 1.4x 55mm Telephoto Lens ...- This is a magnificent piece of equipment. Only minor flaws to deal with... Using the Kodak Z812IS EasyShare I found that the auto-focus sometimes will not work. It does work 95% of the time though. Vignetting, the edges being blackend by the extension tube, does occurs as listed by other reviews. This lens is meant to increase maximum zoom, so it should be a problem if used properly.
Positive comments are that it increases your total zoom for video recordings as well. This is good for high stadium filming etc. Try and keep the zoom range constant for even focus, as it will go out of focus quickly.
Recommendations: If you go with Kodak you get a great product, no worries, your money's worth. Other brands may be a gamble especially with coatings and optics. 1.4x increases total zoom significantly. It is my wish to try a lens with more magnification capabilities. I may try one of Opteka Lenses 2.6x or 3.3x for a more profound effect, despite the risk.
Overall expand your photographic possibilities with a telephoto lens. Good luck.
