This doesn’t sound right. An S7000, like the S5000’s, teleconverter should still allow full use of the zoom function on the camera (vignetting notwithstanding). I know mine does (S5000). So am I missing something in this discussion?

you may have a point there i had my zoom on the camera zoomed up as much as it would go(closer) should it be retracted or?
any ideas hallo?
You were correct… The zoom should be extended to the fullest.
If you already do so then there is definately something wrong either with your camera or the converter…

Are you still using the zoom when you installed the opteka telephoto converter? Converters are designed work in a specific distance to you lens usually for telephoto converters it is only when you extend you zoom fully.
Your fuji mounts converters onto the rim of the adapter ring rather than onto the rim of the lens. So having to maintain a optimal distance means you can’t zoom.

Is there anything i can do to sort it?
Honestly I don’t know. Probably the best thing to do is to contact Opeka customer service ( mailto:Support@opteka.com ), but be prepared that the repair cost could come close to the new price of this lens. Good luck!

Jason,
Especially from the first two examples I get the idea that something is wrong with the alignment of the lens system. Obviously the lefthand part of the picture is sharper than the righthand part, which is not typical for either camera shake or focus error.
