Specifically designed for use with digital cameras and camcorders, the OpticZoom™ provides 37mm front filter threads (allowing additional lenses and accessories to be attached) and works with almost any digital camera with a minimum of 2x optical zoom. By adding the OpticZoom™ to your camera, you can multiply the optical zoom of your camera by five times!
The OpticZoom lens comes equipped with a focusing barrel built in, so you can "fine focus" at different distances, using the LCD on your camera. What's the benefit? Most add-on lenses are set to be "in focus" at all distances, but you give up some quality with this design, and it generally results in some distortion at the periphery of the lens. The OpticZoom virtually eliminates this problem by providing a variable focus from close distances (around 40 feet) to infinity.
