Nikon Coolpix Teleconverter Lens

[shuckeba]

I have a Coolpic 885 and was looking into the 2x teleconverter lens. I would like more zoom but don't want to buy a new camera. Does anyone know if this lens work well? Good pics? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

About a year ago I posted a long reveiw on this forum of the Bower 2.5X convertor that worked excellent on my CP4500.

You can find them for about 25-35 dollars on ebay. They require a 28 to 37mm conversion ring (about $8) A really excellent result for very little money.

I have used it for over a year and still am amazed at the results, and 2.5x is quite a bit better on the cololpix cameras.

Thanks so much for your response. I've been thinking of buying one for about a year now, but could never make up my mind. I think I'll give it a shot.
