Soft in the center - highly not recommended

Kenko SGT-20 37mm 2x Telephoto Converter Lens

 

I was looking for a lens that would let me zoom further and at reasonable price. This was the cheapest I could find so I wanted to give it a chance based on the price. It does increase the power but not as much as I thought it would. As the picture...

Product Specifications

These two new lenses, the SGW-05 (0.5X wide angle) and the SGT-20 (2.0X telephoto) are designed to work with compact digital and analog camcorders having a 37mm filter thread.
