Minolta Dimage 7i
From 8.75mm to 300mm range
By adding the Phoenix .25x Super Fisheye to the Minolta Dimage 7i and the Olympus A-200... you'll turn the already impressive 28mm to 200mm GT lens into a Beyond-Powerful 8.75mm to 300mm dynamo! ... and here's the best part... you can pick up both lenses for around $200.00!!!
The Phoenix Super Fisheye functions wonderfully from the 35mm mark all the way through the 200mm mark on the Dimage... resulting in a 12mm to 50mm lens... fabulous for landscape photography. The Olympus A-200 works from the 100mm mark to the 200mm mark.... which translates into a 150mm to 300mm lens!!! Awesome for trips to the zoo and wildlife.
