The FZ-28 already has a 486mm (equivalent) lens.
Adding a 3X auxiliary lens would bring it up to 1458mm!!!
Try purchasing one of those puppies for your F.F. DSLR.

You don't need to fiddle with extenders of questionable optical
quality when you can buy high quality 2000mm and much bigger lenses.

Wouldn't you need to be Rich to buy one of those?

You'd not only have to Rich to buy one but you'd have to be Ahnold to carry
it around all day.

You'd have to be rich, but not Rich.

Seeing that Rich is obsessed with P&S, I'd agree with both statements.

Surely, you jest!
A 2000 mm lens (actually mirror optics)will cost you about $8,800 USD.
See;

Also note that the carrying case is called a TRUNK and will set you back
another $669.

We're talking 2000mm (equivalent) here. Not quite the same thing, and
not nearly as expensive.

Only if you buy one dedicated as a telephoto camera lens.

OTOH you can buy a fairly decent almost diffraction limited optics Meade
or Celestron SCT for considerably less including a tripod and motor
drive. At this size you hang the camera off the lens/telescope and they
are of limited use terrestrially because of haze and thermals. eg

The other point to make here is that a whole bunch of after market guys
make adapters to allow any P&S to be put behind the eyepiece of a
telescope to photograph wild birds and the like. Digiscoping will get
you plenty of good leads. BCF and SRB in the UK offer suitable adaptors.

I presume this thread originated from a "Rich" troll.

You're the one who mentioned how you could buy a 2000mm lens.....not me.
And if you are using a F.F. DSLR (as I mentioned in my post) A 2000 mm
(equivalent) and a 2000 mm (actual) ARE indeed, the same thing.
