Summary: not for me
Comment: I do have a DSC-H5, bought this thing and re-sold it after 30 days.

It was my "mistake" because:

* too clumsy/heavy for me, you certainly need a tripod most of the time
* taking a photo is a pain and the "minimum distance" is also too far away
* is really difficult (for me) to take "long distance" photos, smog disturbs, preparation is too long ...

I went back to the amazing 40-380 lens of the DSC-H5 and I'm very happy with that. Far better for me.

Summary: Great Lens!
Comment: The Sony VCL-DH1758 Tele Conversion Lens is great, and very much worth the money. I bought it before I went on vacation with a bunch of people. We were in an ocean front home, and porpoise showed up off in the distance. Out of 4 people snapping photos, mine were AMAZING. SO detailed, so CLOSE. I am glad I bought it. (Just don't forget to set your camera for the Tele lens, it will still take far off pictures, but not as detailed)

Summary: Sony quality is tops!
Comment: The Sony VCL-DH1758 Tele Conversion Lens is defiantly a piece of quality glass. I was amazed on the image quality using this lens. 1.7x adds just enough for my Canon s-3.

Summary: Excellent addition
Comment: I bought this tele converter because it is a powerfull multiplier of my Canon S3IS already powerfull zoom. Many think 1.6-1.7x is as much as you can magnify your zoom power without affecting image quality, and that kept me from buying a converter with a bigger multiplier. Altough this may not be true for other cameras, it seems to be the case for the Canon S3IS. I like the great compatibility between this converter and my camera's optics, which is key when buying one (Not all converters work well with every camera and some even degrade the image quality, making it less crisp, generating artifacts and color fringing/aberration). This one comes with covers/protectors for both ends (the small one even fits in the lens adapter) and it has a padded protecting pouch (Nice and convenient, even if it goes into a carrying bag). So far, I haven't seen anything with this converter that makes me want to trade for a different one, so I widely recommend it.
