Wide fish-eye lens Raynox MX-3062PRO

The Raynox MX-3062PRO wide fish-eye lens is designed for SLR cameras and compatible with SONY HDR-FX7/HVR-V1. With a simple optical construction of 1 element in 1 group and a 0.3x magnification factor, it produces a strong wide-angle, fish-eye perspective suited to creative and expansive shots. The lens has a compact diameter of 2.5 cm and a length of 95 mm, finished in black and intended to be added to an existing camera setup to alter field of view and perspective.

Advantages

The MX-3062PRO delivers an extreme wide field of view and distinctive fish-eye distortion using a minimalist 1/1 element/group construction that keeps weight and complexity to a minimum. Its 0.3x magnification allows users to capture much wider scenes than standard lenses, while the small diameter and 95 mm length support compact handling and straightforward attachment to compatible SLR setups. The black finish integrates unobtrusively with most camera bodies.

Suitable for

• Creative photography where exaggerated perspective and wide field of view are desired
• Landscape and cityscape shots that benefit from an expanded angle
• Action or event scenes where immersive, wide framing is required
• Photographers using SONY HDR-FX7/HVR-V1 or compatible SLR systems

How to use

Attach the Raynox MX-3062PRO to a compatible SLR camera or to an adapter designed for SONY HDR-FX7/HVR-V1 according to the camera or adapter manufacturer’s instructions. Frame the scene knowing the lens will introduce pronounced wide-angle distortion; compose with the subject near the center to reduce edge stretching if desired. Adjust exposure and focus on the camera body as required; the MX-3062PRO modifies field of view rather than adding autofocus or electronic controls. Store the lens in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches to the optical surface.

Recommendations

For predictable results, test the lens at different distances and compositions before critical shoots. Use the fish-eye effect intentionally for creative results and keep main subjects toward the center when minimizing peripheral distortion is important. Use appropriate protection for the 8.7 cm filter area and follow camera compatibility guidelines when mounting.
