Conclusion: Great Conversion lens
Review: I bought this conversion lens for my husband for our anniversary in Aug.
We have a Sony DSC-H7. At first he did not think it really did much. But then we started to take some pictures and they were amazing....really neat flower pictures and deer.
The other night there was a full moon coming up over the mountains. He took pictures of it and you could even see the trees on the mountains.
(We live about 10 miles away from them)
I can't wait to take it with us to Yellowstone next year and get pictures of all the animals.

Conclusion: Does the job - Sony quality
Review: I purchased this lens for my Sony DSC-H50. Adding another 10x to my 15x optical zoom is really quite beneficial. I like to take bird pics on my property and that additional bit can really make the shot. I wish I had it when I had my dove nest!
I have always had good experiences with Sony lenses for the quality of the manufacturing as well as the quality of the glass, and this is no exception.
It does add some serious weight to the camera so I find that my tabletop tripods are not able to support it, but it works brilliantly with a full-size tripod. If anybody out there knows of a super heavy duty tabletop tripod that can support the weight, I would appreciate the information greatly.
The only pain for me, and this is probably a non-issue for some, is that I cannot go quickly back and forth between using it and removing it for closer shots because of having to do a setting change in the camera's menu. To use the lens (with my camera anyway) I must go into the menu and change the setting from no lens to either tele or wide (I have both). With my old, granted not nearly as good, digi cam I could just pull off the lens and keep shooting.
Over all, however, I would absolutely recommend this lens. I got mine at etronics for the best price I could find at the time, plus a $[...], for a bottom line price of $[...]!

Conclusion: Works well
Review: Just got back from an Alaskan vacation and the lens worked well, it gave me that extra distance for the wildlife photos I wanted. I have also used it for some action shots from a soccer field sideline and I am happy with the results. I use it with a DSC-H50.

Conclusion: We love this product!!
Review: For Christmas, I purchased the Sony DSC-H7/H9 Digital camera and we were so pleased with it. Then we decided to go with the Sony VCL-DH1774 74mm 1.7x lens so that we would be able to take clearer pictures of wildlife. We are really pleased with the quality of pictures we get using this lens. We can hardly wait for our trip to Yellowstone this summer!!!

Conclusion: Nikon D300 user amazed at results
Review: Without the Telepohto the effective 35mm focal length is 465mm at 8.1 megapixel but it becomes an astounding 790mm with it. Want to get really crazy? When the image size is set to 5 megapixels, the camera can zoom to 18x. When set to 3 megapixels, it is set to 23x. In the 2-megapixel widescreen mode, the H7 can zoom to 25x. At the smallest 640 x 480-pixel size, users can zoom up to 76x! Then add the Telephoto - good luck getting a blur-free pic though.
Autofocus doesn't track fast moving subjects well unless you use manual focus which is klugy at best. But if you stay within the camera and lens limitations you can't beat this combo for the price. I take this combo on long hikes instead of my Nikon D300 w/18-200MM VR lens and am very happy with the results. Most people can't tell if they were taken with the D300 or the Sony.
