Vignetting is a BIG problem (Rating: 1.00) Review : Cut-off corners should NEVER be a problem with a lens accessory marketed by Kodak for its own cameras. Auxiliary lenses are available from other makers including Sunpak. Perhaps they will show less vignetting or none at all. In any case, blocking part of the viewfinder is inevitable, as is some image softening with any accessory lens - even the superb Schneider-Kreuznach optics once made for the classic little Kodak Retina IIIC of the 1950s. The other review has one inaccuracy (Rating: 4.00) Review : I just received my lens, and I read the instructions. You have to use your zoom button and zoom all the way out in order to get a full picture. This is the first thing noted in the instructions. If you don't, you will, as the other review said, get a picture that only fills the center of the view--the rest will be black. It definitely pays to read the instructions. This is actually a good tool--I took a few pictures of the same shot with and without, and the extra zoom is significant. It could have been better ... (Rating: 2.00) Review : I have got a KODAK DX4530 and I bought an adapter and this telephoto lens. I agree with William Stapleton's review on this lens. The "tunnel vision" is very bad and the view in the optical viewfinder is really blocked (I would say 1/3). I am actually very disappointed with that. I haven't taken any pictures yet but I guess I will need to buy more batteries for using the LCD screen. On the other hand if you zoom in the subject is 6x closer as it should be on the optical zoom. That is the only advantage of the lens. Great Product! (Rating: 5.00) Review : I just got this lens and used it with my Kodak DX4530. It took very good photos on the Auto setting. Got a few nice wildlife pictures. It's important to follow the instructions in the manual: (1) to use the optical zoom so that the picture fills the entire view and (2) to use the LCD screen. The blocking of the view finder with the accessory lenses is not unique to Kodak. It happens with other point-and-shoot cameras because of their design. If you want to do more with your point-and-shoot camera, this is a good way to go. Severely restricted field of view (Rating: 1.00) Review : I bought this telephoto lens and a lens adapter ring to use with a Kodak Easyshare DX4900, which I like very much. With the adapter and telephoto lens in place, pictures taken by the DX4900 appear in "tunnel vision" with a significant portion of the field of view blocked by the telephoto lens housing and a small area in the center of the picture magnified at the advertized 2x. The adapter *should* have been made with a wider field of view so that the picture would fill the entire field of view of the built-in lens. The adapter ring and telephoto lens are also so large that they block approximately one-fourth of the view in the optical viewfinder, which I use exclusively to maximize battery life. I will be looking for another lens somewhere. |
