Raynox conversion lens and accessories for Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ28, DMC-FZ28EB, DMC-FZ18, DMC-FZ18EB Digital Cameras

For shooting with Raynox DCR-7900ZD, DCR-FE181PRO or DCR-CF187PRO lenses mounted on Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ38, FZ35, FZ28, FZ18 camera, the Raynox Lens Holder RT5855W is necessary to be installed. As to the zoom range of the camera with the above conversion lenses on, it would be most appropriate and suggested to stay at the wide angle side of the zoom range. For example, with DCR-7900ZD it is limited at the widest angle side (1x), and at the zoom range of between 1x (wide angle end) and 3x (indicated in the camera) with both DCR-FE181PRO and DCR-CF187 PRO Fish-eye lenses. Zooming beyond that area would cost a proper shooting by touching the conversion lens to the camera lens. So, please pay a careful attention in zooming with the lens on.
