the rear element is smaller so it work better for cameras with smaller lens. not too sure how much vignetting there will be if it's used with cameras like the 602Z and 5700.

Image quality seems really good. However, as mpenza pointed out, I doubt it will work with larger cameras like S602 (else I'll really be very interested in getting 1!!!). The vignetting will be really bad.
