This lens has transformed my camera, I have better detail and can zoom in on individual flowers to time lapse…I’m going to use it to time lapse the night sky on full zoom when we get a clear night. For the money it’s worth ever penny.

Cet objectif à focale variable est un complément très intéressant pour la caméra brinno TCL300. Cela permet d'ajuster le champ de prise de vue, une réelle amélioration pour ce produit. A conseiller.

This product is not so hard to focus like some other say at least not for me.

I purchased this lens to use with the Brinno BCC2000 Time Lapse Camera, which is the 1080p "big brother" of the 720p TLC200 PRO, and which is also compatible with this lens according to Brinno.The good: The lens fits the BCC2000 fine, and basically works as expected, other than the issues below.The bad:- It's just about impossible to focus this guy. Very touchy, and a lot of guess work. Even at the sharpest I've been able to achieve, the results look very soft. I can't tell if this is a focus problem or an optical quality problem, but either way I'm not sure the added zoom is worth the softness, since I find the fixed focal length, fixed focus kit lens for the BCC2000 to be nice and sharp.- Changing the aperture or focal length defocuses the lens, so you need to refocus after framing your shot.- No aperture markings and aperture data is not written the EXIF data when you shoot stills, so there's no way to know what aperture you are shooting at (in order to, for example, compute the hyperfocal distance for the lens).

Un peu compliqué à manipuler cependant (pourquoi instaurer un nombre minimum de mots dans l'évaluation ? ça n'a pas de sens !)

Having owned only cameras with parfocal lenses, this BCS 24-70 varifocal lens is, by comparison, a functional abomination. With manually adjustable parfocal lenses, it is SOP to routinely focus on a subject at, say, max/ high zoom (Tele) and then have the focus hold as you back off the zoom to wider angle views. This BCS 24-70 does NOT allow you to do that. You have to refocus whenever you change the 'zoom' setting. For example, if the focus is at "Far" ('infinity'), distant objects will be in focus ONLY at max 'zoom' (70mm equivalent), and will NOT be in focus as you widen the field of view. To get these distant objects in focus as you move from 70mm toward 24mm requires that you back off, more and more, from the "Far" focus position towards the "Near" position. Since the focus is extremely sensitive to tweeks to the focus ring/lever position, and since there is a delay/ lag between making such a tweek and seeing the result, this process is really aggravating. A less maddening design attribute involves the position of the zoom/focus/aperture control levers. When the lens is screwed on tightly to the camera, these levers are primarily UNDERNEATH the lens barrel, making it difficult/ cumbersome to adjust them when the camera is placed on a flat surface, or even on a tripod. However, since this lens does provide an extremely useful capability to the TLC200 Pro ( the ability to get away from the limitations of the standard wide angle lens, to get rid of the 'fish eye' effect, to bring objects in closer, to greatly broaden the camera's applications), it is a useful and necessary accessory. I don’t know if the more (2X) expensive BCS 18-55 lens is also a varifocal lens. If it is a true parfocal design, then that one is the one to get

UPDATE (2013-10-19)I returned the unit. I tried the unit with and without the UV filter, and in various lighting situations outdoors, and the quality was just not what I wanted. Another nail in the coffin is the outdoor case for this product does not (currently) have any way to use lenses other than the original one inside the outdoor case. I leave this camera outside for days at a time, so anything that didn't work with the case was not going to make it long. I realize this is more the fault of the case than the lens - but its another knock on the product for me so I ultimately returned it.ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW (2013-09)Given my experience with the TLC200pro out of the box (see my other review) I figured I would try some of the creative lenses for the "pro" model. I am someone who is familiar with pulling focus and adjust manual lenses and for whatever reason I cannot seem to get good image quality with this one. It's like the out of box lens is true HDR with brilliant images, and this glass is flattening the colors somewhat. I definitely need to play with it more, but after using it for most of the day today on a rooftop to capture some cloud patterns (which still somehow ended up being mostly blurry or noisy) I'm leaning more towards sending it back.I do think for well lit close up stop-action or tabletop/portrait stuff it may be a little better. But I was hoping the 70mm would be enough to get me "out the window" when working in an office capturing the weather, etc. Time will tell...I will update this as my status goes on.

This lens does a great job considering its size. It gives about the zoom range I was expecting. The surprising part is how tricky it is to focus. Even in the wide angel setting. It took a little getting used to and I lost a few great sunsets. It seemed that even though it looked in focus when I started the shot, something happened and it went out of focus. Things seem to be going better with it now so maybe it was just me. It certainly is helpful to be able to frame in a shot and leave out unwanted subject matter. I do use it all the time.

This lens takes me back to the days I owned an Exacta SLR with Extension Tubes for Macro Photography. Screws to hold the focus in check. But was more annoying was an IR Filter was included and was recommended be installed. Since the lens milling was a fine thread and the filter required a tool that would allow equal pressure to both sides of the filter to install correctly. I tried to install the filter with the "single little screw driver" that was provided and after hanging up the filter on account of unequal pressure I used my own jewelers pliers that finished the task. After all that and some test time-lapse runs the results were very disappointing. I have shelved both the Brinno Camera and the Brinno BCS 18-55mm Lens until I can determine a use for this disappointing combination. This turned out to be a disappointing $500 investment. My little old Samsung 10 mg HD pocket camera takes better time lapse videos than the Brinno system.
