Could you please tell me whether magnifying lens has distortions? Thank you.

Currently I have the smaller magnifying X lens installed from the 2 shipped lenses. I had to look up distortions to understand your question specifically. I placed a small font magazine about 12inches away from the lens my eyes about 8 to 10inches away. Basically I could read a 3 column veritical text page. The edges all have a slight bow. If it does not work for you you can always ship it back.Hope this helps.Optics. an aberration of a lens or system of lenses in which the magnification of the object varies with the lateral distance from the axis of the lens.

I use one to work/solder surface mount electronics to printed circuit boards (PCBs). I love it but naturally if the parts get too small... I should have added that over the years I've use many magnified extension lights to work on PCBs, all had external springs. This light does not have external springs and seems to be much smoother when trying to position it for work. I haven't noticed any distortion when working on 0603 parts and don't want to go much smaller than that.I just ordered one for personal use.

Yes, it does have a ZOOM function. It has six settings; three to enlarge and three to reduce. I did not notice any distortion at all.

Yes. This is a rectilinear lens, not a fisheye, if that's what you mean by "the distortion problem". This is the only super-wide zoom for full-frame Canon cameras, as the Canon 10-22 is an EF-S lens for cropped sensors only.

Would really like to help with your question but, unfortunately, I didn't save the box or the instruction sheet. I can tell you however that these binoc's are great. I've used them on trips to Alaska and to China. I find very little "shake" or distortion at higher magnification compared with others that I looked at from the "brick and mortar" stores. If you purchase them I hope you are as satisfied with the product as I am.

I bought this accessory kit a few months ago when I first started off in photography.. I was looking for something inexpensive to go with my kit lenses that would boost what they could capture.. When they arrived, I connected them and found out that they were nothing more than pieces of glass.. There is no magnification or anything.. I'd recommend that you don't buy any of these.. Save your money and buy Nikon lenses.. I just bought a 50mm 1.8G from Best Buy for $199 and it is amazing.. I did tell the seller that they were nothing but glad and they refunded my purchase with no hesitation so I'm assuming they knew they were glass.. Hope this helps..

There will be some distortion, similar to any lens up through probably 25mm. It is very subtle if noticeable at all unless you are right up on the structure. Easily correctable in LR5. Nothing like UWA or FE for distortion.

I use it on an Olympus OMD5 and an Olympus Pen3 have not found any significant issues with distortion. I do have lenses both from Olympus and Panasonic ( the Lica series) that are sharper and better performers. I bought this lens because of its compactness when traveling. It is a good lens but not my best lens.

As posted above by Z. Stone in explanation and coupled by RBarr's above post, you must look into your budget to see if UD is useful enough to justify the cost of the lens. If you have notice chromatic distortion in your pictures then get one with UD to help mitigate that. Many of the recently produced lenses I've looked at have UD.

There is a indentation about mid way through the device. You'll see a series of parallel vertical striations of sorts moving from left To right. That is your magnification knob. It's really my only complaint about the device. It should've been a digital zoom.

They are very close to what you see is what you get. They come up about 10-15% smaller than what you are seeing through the viewfinder. (depending on the amount of zoom you are using when shooting). I've had mine for over a year now and still enjoying it.

I haven't noticed any distortion. Just shot several photos to recreate what you are seeing and they all look clear, with and without flash. If it started after you got the case, you may have a defective one?

I only really used one lens and that was ok. never checked the others. but I will now. sorry I didn't have the answer.

Robert - Only had the lens for a couple of hours - it had quite a bit of distortion at 18mm.. plus the one I received was a "grey" market one.. no us warranty.. and I was not comfortable with that.. so, I returned it. Never used it in the field.. hope this helps..

It's a microscope, so it seems to work best close up; otherwise you don't have magnification. With that said, I can focus in the lower magnification on an object about 1 meter away, but it isn't really magnified. The higher magnification requires me to be almost touching to focus. This isn't very scientific, I don't know enough about lens math to be, so I just tried it out around the room.

Yeah, it doesn't affect the pictures at all you're right. Sometimes it's annoying when I'm trying to use my 50mm prime, as I have to manually focus that and the blurry line doesn't help.I called Nikon also and they said I could ship it to them and they would look at it. I'm slightly worried to do that because I'm afraid they'll do something to screw it up worse. I guess I can live with it. If you send yours in, could you let me know if they actually fix it by replying here?

None at all on my M- it is a bit slow in the focus- but when I combined it with a short loupe to act as a viewfinder it became handy. Mine works perfectly except for the focussing time. VRR

This is not my experience. My mirror is fabulous. I see no distortion on the "sides". Granted, with 15x magnification, you cannot look at the mirror from a distance. You have to be up close. I bought two of these mirrors. One for my Mother and one for myself. No regrets...would most definitely buy it again.
