Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Capture breathtaking outdoor vistas like expansive ocean cliffs, a city skyline, or a cheering crowd with the Kodak Xenar wide-angle lens. Designed to attach to select Kodak digital cameras, the lens converts the focal distance of your lens by a factor of 0.7x, thus widening the viewpoint considerably. In addition to offering beautiful outdoor shots, the lens also excels indoors, with an angle of view that captures entire rooms--from piano recitals to exhibits at the Louvre. And because the all-glass, four-element lens was developed in conjunction with Schneider-Kreuznach, you know your pictures will come out extremely sharp. The Xenar lens--which offers a thread size of 55mm--comes with a protective storage pouch.

Product Description
Expand your creativity and photographic options with the versatile 0.7x wide-angle lens. Experience the power of performance when using the 4-element, all-glass SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH XENAR Lens.

5.0 out of 5 stars super wide super Kodak, August 12, 2005

By	Kenneth Margulies (Beijing, China) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

the lens is sharp to the edges without distortion. sharp, sharp, sharp! excellent all glass quality, and it looks neat. people stop to ask me about it (i do scenery shooting) and it looks impressive.
as with any large lens, it partly covers the cameras built in flash. the flashes on any camera would not brighten the wide view anyway. the camera's normal built in wide angle is wide enough for indoor shots.
in sum, love the lens and it is a great price! great Kodak quality.

bought kodak wide angle lens for use with kodak camera and improved the variety and style of pics considerably...be aware that some kodak cameras will need an adapter (cheap) to use this type wide angle setup

5.0 out of 5 stars Great TCON, January 12, 2006

By	Quedall "yzee" - See all my reviews

This is a quality lens and works seamlessly with the P850. Camera focus and exposure work well with it. One neat thing is that if you do not zoom the built in camera zoom you get a picture bordered with the round barrel of the lens framing the shot. It is heavy so will need a monopod or tripod to get quality shots.
