Canon G series and EagleEye 5x teleconverter
I'm thinking of buying the EagleEye OpticZoom 5x teleconverter for my Canon G3.
www.photosolve.com is the only place in the US I've found that carries it. According to them, I need the Xtend-a-Lens for the G3, and a 37-52mm thread converter. I'm also going to add the tripod mount for the lens, which brings the total to $341. 
Before I go and drop that kinda cash on something, I'd like to see the results first. I'd like to see some full size images taken with it first. Can someone with a Canon G series camera and that lens send me some unedited, full size samples? Thanks...
Hello jchaney. On behalf of admin and all the moderators, welcome to Bird Forum.
There is a photo taken with this combination in my gallery. I have the EagleEye 5x OpticZoom, also purchased from Photosolve as it was cheaper than getting it here in the UK, even with the shipping.
I'm not sure about the Xtend-a-Lens though, as I have the Lensmate adapter, as recommended on the camera compatibility table on the photosolve site for the G1 and G2. See www.lensmateonline.com for these. I leave mine on all the time insted of the usual lens ring, so that I am ready to attach either the 5x zoom or my digiscoing adapter. See my previous thread on this.
I can send you some images at full size if you like. Just PM me your email address.
Thanks, I've seen your blackbird picture, that's actually what got me looking at the EagleEye lens. I sent you a PM with my email address.
