Vivitar 58MM 2.2x Professional Telephoto Lens

Good product

The lens magnification is at most 1.5x. The chromatic aberration is significant outside half the radius of the field of view, making this lens useless.

The lens can't even mount . The 58mm tread is damage or poor quality. Their rear lens cap can't even put on

GREAT QUALITY

Man sieht bei großem Zoom eigentlich telweise GARNICHTS mehr außer vielleicht 'Nebel'. Ich habe es bei 2 Objektiven probiert und beim einen konnte man auch sehr deutlich sehr unscharfe Ränder erkennen. Absoluter Schrott für mich. Ich rate ausnahmslos in jedem Fall vom Kauf ab!! Außerdem granzt es an Betrug mit 'HD-Qualität' zu werben.Schlechtestes Produkt das ich auf AMAZON gekauft habe. Daumen runter.

I decided to give this lens a try despite what everyone has said in their reviews. I felt pretty sure that if you used the extension with manual focus you wouldn't run into all the nasty problems other people have reported. Well, I was wrong. The shots I got using manual focus, in manual mode, were horrible and out of focus to boot. And THEN, when I took the extension off my camera to re-package it for return, I saw a spiral-shaped piece of metal sticking out inside the lens. I thought it might have been a stray shard that spiraled up from the threads when I screwed the extension onto my lens, so I took a piece of lens paper and tried to get at the stray piece of metal. No luck - it's INSIDE the lens, between the two pieces of glass - see the attached photo. Don't waste your time with this one. Very disappointed with Vivtar.
