The Raynox HDP-7700ES High Definition Super-Telephoto 3.0X Conversion Lens combines high zoom power with compact construction (92mm long, without lens shade x 58mm, largest outside diameter). The state-of-the-art lens formula and 3-group/5-element construction of high index optical glass results in a high image standard of 220 lines/mm resolution power at center (MTF30%) with three times high powered telephoto magnification.
With the HDP-7700ES lens attached via the 37mm mounting thread, there will be no influence on f-number of the master lens.
Lens considerations:
The camera’s built-in flash/video light may create a shadow of the lens in the picture while the HDP-7700ES is in use.
When attached, the remote control system of the camera may not function properly. We recommend trying a rehearsal shooting if you have to use the remote control system, to be sure.
To protect the camera from an accidental damage please remove the HDP-7700ES Lens before moving the camera and do not carry around the camera with the HDP-7700ES Telephoto lens attached.
The HDP-7700ES Lens is designed for using at the telephoto end of the camera lens, and it may create a vignetting effect (darkened corners) when zoomed to the wide angle range.
Please note that the minimum focusing distance with the HDP-7700ES lens attached will be approximately 9 times more than the original distance figured at the telephoto end. We recommend that you use a sturdy tripod when shooting with HDP-7700ES lens on.
Magnifying power at a shooting distance of 50 meters or less may be lower, with HDP-7700ES lens attached. It could be less than 2.8 times.
Compatibility:
Canon : HV20, HG10, HR10 (Set the camera's f-stop at f/2.8 when used with HV20/HG10/HR10 camera.Taking an image when the camera's aperture opening of F3.4 or slower than F3.4 may increase vignetting.)
Panasonic : HDC-SD1 and HDC-DX1 (Vignetting may appear when used with these cameras), HDC-SD5 and HDC-SX5 (Remove camera's lens hood before you mount the lens)
