Good telephoto adapters for HMC-150?

Feeling the relative lack of telephoto zoom a little.

I would be interested in what advice people had regarding adapters, and what kind of results they gave achieved.

Thank you!
 
One of the reviewers noted that you need to be at full zoom to use it. But for $150, crap that's a heck of a deal.

...I bought this adapter from B&H, and I absolutely HATE it.

- It vignettes quite badly unless you are at maximum zoom.

- It is low contrast, so you have to fix any clip made with it in post.

- It adds a slight yellow cast to the video image, so you also have to colour correct any clips shot with it.


...I should put this thing up on Craig's list to get rid of it. Ugh!
 
dont mind color correcting but does the image get soft .
Would like to use it for birdwatching.


.....Im not a birdwatcher but I love chicken.
 
The image is quite sharp. I have no problems with the sharpness at all, but the low contrast and colour shift, combined with heavy vignetting unless at maximum zoom, really soured me on this adapter.

I will post some comparison pics next week, as I'm way too busy this week to shoot some tests.
