Mike,

Thanks for taking the time...

I'm interested in any info about the Nikon 3x that is mentioned in the CP990 literature. (Cost, filter size, availability)

See below.

Quick specs:

3x teleconverter for 990/950/900/s (not sure yet on 800-will let you know)

ED Glass (Nikon's finest Extra Low Dispersion)

345mm coverage (135 format).

Cool huh.

Price-not yet set-a little over $200-250 I think.

I'm not clear about your question. The Nikon 990, as with most digicams, has a built-in 3X zoom. Filters aren't normally needed for digicams because they normally have both auto and manual white correction capability. It also has a 4X digital zoom. I'm not sure about the lens thread size, probably 37mm.

Rodger,

I'm talking about an add on lens. Nikon has a 2x right now, and mentioned a 3x someplace in the 990 specs.
