First, they zoom will go to something like 49.6 with out degradation (as opposed to only 24x). It will not go further than 24x when in Auto. I have the 1.7 and like it. Be sure to purchase the converter ring - it screws on the camera itself around the lens and then the 1.7 attaches to that. Puts the weight on that rather than your zoom lens. Both can be found on Amazon and of course your other favorite shopping spots. The 1.7 is BIG.Converter ring is LA-55 (FZ200)
Thanks Medavis43--- Keep those peanuts coming and I will check out the 1.7 on Amazon.
