Equipment Type: Lens
Equipment Brand: Raynox
Equipment Model: 0.7x Wide Angle Converter 58mm - HD-7000 PRO
Price (S$): 250 (Revised)
Description:
It is a 58mm which can be screwed onto Video Cameras, Point and Shoot and dSLR lenses (Preferably those without moving front elements)

Bought 3 weeks ago at $299 from Mcgill. Used for test shots 2-3 times at home. Essentially brand new.

Selling a very sharp WA adapter lens with low distortion and high resolution, even when zoomed. The 0.7x magnification will turn a 28mm lens into a wide angle 19.6mm. the Vignetting, distortions and CA are very low compared with the ~ $100 WA adapters.

It comes with a lens hood that is only made by Mcgill, cannot be bought elsewhere.

Sample images when used with my 14-45 Panny G1 is shown here:

1) Zoomed in to 45mm, this is where the Raynox outperforms cheap WA Converters. It maintains sharpness even when zoomed in. Cheaper WA will show bad CAs and softness when zoomed in:

2) Wide angle at 14mm - The distortion is much less than normal WAC. The Vignetting is also very low. In this wide angle setting, most cheap WA will show distinct Vignetting. Note: Excuse the underexposure, I purposely under-expose a little to preserve the sky color.
