The DCR-FE181PRO/DCR-FE180PRO full-frame (diagonal) fish-eye lens is designed to get a 180 degrees wide angle view suitable with as many as digital camera models available in the market, and it may create a slight ' vignetting ' at the corners of the picture captured with some camera model set at the widest position of the zoom lens.(Pic.1) If you do not like to have the ' vignetting ' effect during picture taking, zoom the camera lens slightly towards telephoto side. ' vignetting ' means that the four corners or a corner of the picture is cut off or darkened slightly.
Depending upon the model of camera you use, the ' vignetting ' effect will not appear at all even set at the widest range of the zoom lens. The following models are the ones as far as we know at the moment. SONY DSC-F717/F707, OLYMPUS C-755UZ, C-750UZ, C-745UZ, C-740UZ, C-730UZ, C-720UZ, C-700UZ.
However, the image obtained by the cameras which do not create the ' vignetting ' may produce the image less than 180 degrees field of view.
With Minolta DiMage A200, A2, A1, 7, 7i, Nikon CoolPix5000 models, the 180-degree field of view can be obtained either at diagonal or horizontal lines, set at the widest zoom range.
The borderline of whether the ' vignetting ' may happen or not lies in the area of 37mm focal length (equivalent o f 35mm film format) of the camera lens. When the camera lens is set at less than 37mm focal length, the ' vignetting ' effect will appear, in obtaining a full-frame 180-degree field of view.
There would be a possibility of viewing the ' vignetting ' on PC monitor screen, even though it did not appear on the camera's LCD monitor.
Do not use the built-in flash while the DCR-FE181PRO/DCR-FE180PRO is attached.
The DCR-FE181PRO/DCR-FE180PRO lens weighs 685g (1.5 lbs) and it's a rather heavy stuff and may limit the way of shooting condition. Be careful in handling the camera with the lens attached, such as supporting or protecting the lens by your own hand.
Screw-thread pitch size is 0.75mm unless specified.
The specifications and cosmetic designs may change without prior notice.


(Pic.1)
The above is simulated Vignetting image and Fisheye coverage.

Exposing the conversion lens to a warm atmosphere in an instant way from the cold area may create some dews on and inside the lens. When it happened inside the lens, keep the lens in a dry area till the dews disappear before using. Repeating such situation may leave dirt spot-(mildew) and affect the image.
All of Raynox conversion lenses are proudly made in Japan. At our wholly owned manufacturing subsidiary, every stage of production is rigorously checked and tested so that the lens elements compensate effectively for astigmatism, distortion and spherical aberration.... for an excellent image quality.
The lens is neither made for dust-free nor moisture/water-proof.

Bringing a distant object really very close The model DCR-1545PRO/DCR-1542PRO high definition telephoto lens is made of the high index optical glass elements with new concept of lens designing using two-group/four-element lens formulae. This new concept in designing the lens made it possible to achieve an amazing high definition telephoto lens of the 340 lines/mm resolution power at center (MTF30%), low dispersion and the increased light transmittance at fringe area. This is an ideal Telephoto conversion lens for the High Definition camera with 25x or more optical zoom lens.

●The cosmetic designs may change without prior notice.
The focusing zoom range with the HD-6600PRO lens on will vary depending on the model of High Definition camera in use, and generally speaking the focusing zoom range is from the end of wide angle point up to 6x zoom area. No focusing at the telephoto end.
Remote control function and internal video light/Flash may not work properly with conversion lens attached.
Special Notes: The rear lens element of HD-6600PRO-58(58mm size) model is made protruded from the mounting threads of the barrel, and it may hit or give damage on the front lens of camcorder when mounted with the models other than described underneath;Compatible camcorder models SONY VX-2000/PD-150/DSR-250 Digital Camcorders, Canon GL-1/2,XM-1/2 Digital Camcorders.
There is no difference in the optical performance of lens quality between DCR-6600PRO and other HD-6600PRO models.
Exposing the conversion lens to a warm atmosphere in an instant way from the cold area may create some dews on and inside the lens. When it happened inside the lens, keep the lens in a dry area till the dews disappear before using. Repeating such situation may leave dirt spot-(mildew) and affect the image.
All of Raynox conversion lenses are proudly made in Japan. At our wholly owned manufacturing subsidiary, every stage of production is rigorously checked and tested so that the lens elements compensate effectively for astigmatism, distortion and spherical aberration.... for an excellent image quality.
The lens is neither made for dust-free nor moisture/water-proof.

Depending upon the model of camera in use or the condition of shooting, especially when the lighting is not bright enough, there may be possibility of creating a flare effect which reduces the image quality at the telephoto. When the HD-7062PRO, HD-7000PRO lens are attached and set at telephoto for a distant object, please make sure that the object is under the bright condition.
The HD-6600PRO wideangle lens is designed with a priority purpose of widening the field of view in maintaining the superb high image quality when used at the wide angle range of a camera's zoom lens.
The lens is made compatible in using with a 20x zoom lens. However, when zoomed up to the end of the telephoto with the lens on, the image quality of the picture will be lowered except the center area, and the deterioration of resolution power at corners will occur.
Remote control function and internal video light/Flash may not work properly with conversion lens attached.
For use with Panasonic AG-DVC30 camera; use Raynox PFR-043MC filter between the RA5843 and the camera lens threads.
Exposing the conversion lens to a warm atmosphere in an instant way from the cold area may create some dews on and inside the lens. When it happened inside the lens, keep the lens in a dry area till the dews disappear before using. Repeating such situation may leave dirt spot-(mildew) and affect the image.
