The DCR-FE181PRO full-frame (diagonal) fish-eye lens is designed to get a 180 degrees wide angle view suitable with as many as digital camera models available in the market and it may create a slight 'vignetting' at the corners of the picture captured with some camera models set at the widest position of the zoom lens.

If you do not like to have the 'vignetting' effect during picture taking, zoom the camera lens slightly towards telephoto side. 'Vignetting' means that the four corners or a corner of the picture is cut off or darkened slightly.

Depending upon the model of camera you use, the 'vignetting' effect will not appear at all even set at the widest range of the zoom lens.

All of Raynox conversion lenses are proudly made in Japan. At Raynox's wholly owned manufacturing subsidiary, every stage of production is rigorously checked and tested so that the lens elements compensate effectively for astigmatism, distortion and spherical aberration.... for an excellent image quality.
