What this lens is and who it serves

The Vivitar 43mm HD Multi-Coated 2.2X Telephoto Lens is a front-mounting converter that attaches to any camera or camcorder with a 43mm filter thread. Its all-glass, multi-coated optics housed in a titanium barrel provide 2.2x optical magnification without the quality loss of digital zoom.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

This converter suits photographers and videographers who want extended reach on existing 43mm-threaded lenses for distant subjects. It is not for users whose cameras lack 43mm threads unless they purchase a separate stepping ring, nor for those needing a standalone lens with its own focus and aperture control.

How it fits into your kit

The lens threads directly onto the front of a compatible 43mm lens, instantly multiplying focal length while maintaining all camera functions. It adds telephoto capability without requiring a new camera body or a heavy dedicated telephoto lens, freeing bag space and cost.

Questions about this item

Which filter thread size must my camera or camcorder have for the 43mm telephoto lens to attach directly?

The lens mounts directly on any camera or camcorder with a 43mm filter thread. If your device uses a different thread size, you will need a suitable stepping ring to make the connection.

Will the 2.2X telephoto converter maintain autofocus and exposure functions on my existing lens?

The converter is designed to maintain all camera functions, so autofocus and automatic exposure should continue to operate normally when the lens is attached.

How can I verify the multi-coated optics are reducing flare as intended after fitting the lens?

Shoot a high-contrast scene with a bright light source at the edge of the frame; the coated glass should keep ghosting and flare to a minimum compared with an uncoated converter.
