A very nice, high quality converter
|
| I bought this converter after seeing it on Lensmate online, and I must say that I am very happy with it. In contrast to the previous user, I have had nothing but good luck with it. I am using a Canon S3 with the 52mm Lensmate adapter, and it fits quite snugly. There is a noticeable amount of vignetting at the low end of the magnification range, but since this is a zoom lens of course, you really shouldn't be using it that low anyway. It is at the high zoom levels that this lens shines. I must admit, there wasn't a huge difference in magnification from the camera's onboard zoom, but it was at least noticeable when I compared two test images. Also, it seems like the zoom pictures taken with the Raynox had a more evenly applied focus across the picture as a whole. That may just be a perception on my part, but it seems like that is the case, at least with my particular setup. The lens itself is solid, but not terribly heavy, and looks to be very well made. At the highest magnification power, lens shake becomes more of an issue than normal, but the image stabilization feature on the camera helps with that. A tripod will be absolutely necessary when in low light conditions to be sure. It comes with a little drawstring foam bag, which in my opinion is fairly useless. I bought a small Tamrac lens holder that attaches to my camera bag, and it fits quite nicely in there. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase. There is not as big a difference in the magnification as I had hoped, but it is at least giving me tighter images, and there is no noticeable image degradation from using the lens, at least to my eye. I would recommend the lens as a perfect complement to the 52mm Lensmate adapter. Not sure how well it would work with the standard Canon adapter and a step ring, but Lensmate's website has a good amount of information on the product. |
