Product description
Digital SLR users aren't the only ones who can buy extra lenses, let alone get the kind of affordable telephoto range a compact can. The DMW-LT55E teleconverter works with the current Panasonic FZ-200 camera and many other superzooms in the FZ superzoom range (both selling now and going back some years). However, your camera will probably require a suitable $20-or-so lens adaptor (sold separately; see the "More Info" link for details).
Note Amazon seem to have some delay in shipping this item, but it's probably worth the savings. Amazon.co.uk is saying "Usually dispatched within 1 to 3 months." If I had to guess, I'd put it closer to one month than 3.
Enjoy the reasonable price.
This is the cheapest I've seen.
If anyone finds a cheaper price on this teleconverter from a reputable seller, let us know in the comments.
