I'm looking to get the Century Optics 2.0x Tele-Converter lens for my GL2. What are the pros and cons of screw mount versus bayonet mount?

What are the pros and cons of screw mount versus bayonet mount? Guest April 11th, 2004, 09:56 PM correct me if i am wrong but... bayonet mount gets the lens on and off much faster (think of your lens hood) and ive been told it is much tighter Graham Bernard April 12th, 2004, 12:01 AM Jerry, you got that right! I've ben thinking of a type of interim bayonet 58 thread that would adapt the thread part into a bayonet .. only a thought. Grazie Neil Carlberg April 12th, 2004, 03:04 PM I too am pondering this question. Does the GL2 accept a bayonet mount? Does the GL2 need an adapter to use the bayonet mount? Colin Rayner April 14th, 2004, 04:43 AM No adapter needed for the GL2, the Century optics 2 x Converter fits directly on, you don't even have to remove any filters you may have on first. Seth Richter April 15th, 2004, 09:22 AM Btw, has anyone found a cheep price for it? (BHphotovideo.com: $399 for DS-20TC-58K 2.0x) Colin Rayner April 16th, 2004, 02:10 AM Zotz digital might be cheaper...................... zotzdigital.com |
