Comments about Canon TL-H58 Tele Converter Lens (1.5x):
Purchased a Cannon xf105 camera. Great camera but lens only having 10x was useless. This camera is for our church and with the length of the church a 20x lens is important. Can't believe a camera in this price range didn't offer a 20x lens. BH Photo recommended this cannon screw on lens to make the camera close to 20x with a 1.7x lens. Zoom in is fine but when you zoom out to get wider shot you get this telescope tunnel effect. This is really bad. If you mistakenly zoom out to far your shot is ruined. Don't Buy This Lens Or the camera if you need a 20x lens.

Comments about Canon TL-H58 Tele Converter Lens (1.5x):
I bought this for my new Vixia HF G10 thinking that it would act like a nice telephoto. The problem is that this lens does not seem to be matched to the HF G10's standard lens and so produced an effect like tunnel vision or very bad vignetting. Only when the zoom is about 10 times does the image begin to fill the frame.

Comments about Canon TL-H58 Tele Converter Lens (1.5x):
Relatively easy to attach, but lens tended to obscure outer edges of video lens and weighs more than other comporable lenses I've used in the past.

Comments about Canon TL-H58 Tele Converter Lens (1.5x):
I use the product for outdoor location shots with a tripod. The product features excellent optics. The problem I have with both the Canon wide-angle and tele converter lens is that there are no threads for filters and no sunshade.

Comments about Canon TL-H58 Tele Converter Lens (1.5x):
Works well but don't expect miracles.I enjoy using this lens gives a nice dof look and is built well. It will produce fringes of green/magenta near the outer edges of the lens but the center stays nice and clean.

Comments about Canon TL-H58 Tele Converter Lens (1.5x):
Compatible with my Canon Vixiia hf s21.
Screws right on. Couldn't be any easier to use.
I primarily use this lens when shooting people from far away with a wireless mic.
Great lens quality. Very durable.
Shooting medium shots from further away with this lens creates a shallow focus that gives a cinematic feel to the image.
When fully zoomed, the image can get a bit shaky. I use a monopod to reduce hand shake and turn also turn on the dynamic stabilization on my camcorder.

Comments about Canon TL-H58 Tele Converter Lens (1.5x):
Recently bought this lens to achieve a depth of field effect on my consumer grade Canon Vixia HFS20. In combination with Manuel focus, and the Zoom functions of the camera, as well as the handy Cinema mode on the camcorder, you can get a great cinema like depth perception that I have not seen on even professional grade camcorders.

Comments about Canon TL-H58 Tele Converter Lens (1.5x):
This teleconverter has an excellent quality. If the subject is close to the lens it even adds a little contrast. When zoomed out it does not cover the whole sensor but who cares: no one will use it for wide shots.
But do you really need it? I think 1.5x is not enough for reasonable difference. I shot some very far subjects with and without it and I did not notice a serious difference in details (while shooting without it I added some digital zoom). I have Canon Vixia HF S10 and with its 1.7x multiplier I get everything very close. And also, on such big zooms you cannot get very contrasty and sharp pictures because of the atmosphere as I guess, so it doesn't make sense to zoom more and more.
Anyway, I am very happy I have this lens as I wanted to have the complete set of accessory shoe. I have not checked it with the moon yet. Here maybe it will add lots of details.
