Rating: - zoom lens
The zoom lens looked good on the camera, and that was about it. You had to zoom all the way out to get the tunnel view off of the camera. If I would of been able to just attach the lens to the camera I think it would have worked just fine. The zoom was pretty good, can't take that away and pictures did come out good.

I bought the opteka 2.2x HD2 Telephoto lens for my Kodak z1012 IS..I am terribly dissappointed in the product...I am glad I only spent $30 on it...it leaves a hazy look on photo's...I don't like it...I wouldn't recommend this product...but the macro lens is fantastic..that was well worth the money..

I am very pleased with the Opteka lens. I've been having a ball taking photos of birds in our backyard. I'm completely satisified with the product, and wouldn't hesitate to make a purchase from the same company again. Can't wait to try it on some scenery when we're on vacation!

I was let down by this lens. I own a Kodak Z712 IS and I love the camera. This lens just doesn't do the job though. Sure, it improves your zoom, but that's about it. On the Opteka site it says that this lens actually IMPROVES picture quality. Wrong! First off, you need a tripod or your pictures will turn out fuzzy most of the time. Second, every pic I've taken looks like I took it through a window. Would you want to take pictures of subject in your yard from inside your house and through a closed window? Not me, and that's what my pictures look like. My camera's pictures come out much better without the lens. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I don't think so. I followed the directions. Too bad, because the lens sure looks good on my camera. I didn't give it one star because it does actually improve your zoom capabilities.

Great product, I tested it with Kodak Easyshare Z612 and my wife's Z712 IS and it worked excellent in both cameras. You must to know a little bit about photography and also have talent to get that shot. It is a good product and takes little time to get familiarized with it.
