Just two quick question for those in the know.
My camera's a Kodak ZD710. Not super amazing but not too bad; a bridge camera. I was looking on eBay at the lenses and so fourth and saw 2x and 3x telephoto lenses which can be adapted to the front of the camera with the screw thread. The camera already has 10x optical zoom, if I were to purchase for example a 2x telephoto lens like this one would that mean that the theoretical zooming range of the camera would be 20x, or with the telephoto lens mounted I wouldn't be able to zoom in thereby making the whole thing redundant.
I know a proper zooming lens is adjustable and would cost much more than $20, but for a camera worth less than $250 it's not worth getting a lens worth the same amount as the whole camera which is why I thought "why not". Pros/Cons?
Also I saw a kit here with 6 different types of lenses, can anyone say if they know about such lenses and they actually do what they describe/are a must have thing or not really necessary.
I'm not a professional and I'm not trying to be one, I just want to get a bit more out of this basic Kodak I'm using.
Thanks for all suggestions and replies :dance:
