Telephoto lens Raynox HD-2200PRO-LE

The Raynox HD-2200PRO-LE telephoto conversion lens is a compact accessory for camcorders that increases effective focal length to capture distant subjects with improved detail. Constructed from high-index coated optical glass and employing a two-group/four-element design derived from the HD-2205PRO series, this lens delivers high-definition performance with center resolution up to 200 lines/mm (MTF 30%). It is compatible with selected Sony camcorder models and features a 55 mm filter thread, a 7.6 cm diameter and a short 59 mm length for easy handling.

Advantages

The Raynox HD-2200PRO-LE combines a compact form factor and light weight (0.105 kg) with high-index coated glass to reduce aberrations and improve contrast. Its two-group/four-element optical formula is optimized for telephoto conversion, providing high center resolution and reliable image quality when shooting distant subjects. The 55 mm filter thread simplifies the use of additional filters or step-up rings.

Suitable for

• Camcorder owners who need extended reach for sports, wildlife or distant events
• Users of compatible Sony camcorders (e.g., DCR-DVD301/201/101)

Attach the Raynox HD-2200PRO-LE to a camcorder lens using the appropriate adapter or thread that matches the camcorder's front element. Ensure the conversion lens is securely mounted and aligned with the camera lens optical axis. Compose and focus as usual; the telephoto converter increases effective focal length so framing and focus adjustments may be required. Remove and store the lens in a protective case when not in use.

Recommendations

For best results, use the HD-2200PRO-LE on compatible camcorders with sufficient light and stable support (tripod or monopod) to minimize camera shake. Combine with a 55 mm filter or quality step-up ring only if thread compatibility is confirmed.
