External Accessory Lenses
Ikelite W-20 Wide-Angle Conversion Lens 6420 (A4000 IS only)
The front of the lens port accepts the 6420 W-20 and other 67mm
threaded wide angle or macro/diopter lenses without the need for an
adapter. An external wide angle conversion lens increases angle of
coverage so you can get closer to the subject while still fitting everything
in the frame.
Moderate vignetting will occur at widest angle camera lens setting with
these lenses. Zoom in to eliminate, or crop the image in post processing.
Note:
Wide-Angle conversion lenses will appear off-centered and should
NOT be used with the A3400 IS. This is due to the camera’s CCD chip
placement. Macro adaptors can be zoomed to eliminate vignetting.
