Product Description
The model DCR-1541 high definition telephoto lens is made of the high index optical glass elements with new concept of lens designing using two-group/four-element lens formulae. This new concept in designing the lens made it possible to achieve an amazing high definition telephoto lens of the 340 lines/mm resolution power at center (MTF30%), low dispersion and the increased light transmittance at fringe area. There will be no reduction of light value when this conversion lens is attached on the camera's lens. The lens has a 52mm Mounting thread. By using a suitable step ring and/or holder, the DCR-1541PRO lens can be used with the appropriate digital still camera or digital camcorder or 8mm video camcorder, effectively. DCR-1541 is also suitable to the 3-CCD chip or mega-pixel Digital Camcorders and DVCAM such as SONY VX-2000, VX-1000, PD-150, PD-100, TRV-900,/950 Canon GL-1, XM-1/2. etc. 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.

By a priori
I only received this lens yesterday, so I have very little experience with it, but the initial look, feel and performance are living up to my expectations. From the moment the lens arrived, I was impressed - and not just because the manufacturer's packaging is solid and protective. My first reaction was to the glass. I loved the look of it, and it may be because the front end reminds me so much of my fast Rokkor 135mm from the old film days. In terms of performance, one big attribute to me is that, as advertised, this lens let the light in and did not stop down the underlying lens. I purchased this lens to be attached to my new Nikon P7000, and I was concerned that it may not work through the entire zoom range of the P7000's zoom lens (28mm to 200mm, effective). Obviously, at the low end the photo area is limited to the center of the lens, due to the adapter required, but I was not interested in getting help to reach the 43mm to 70mm range! Even so, the view through the lens appears solid all the way out to what truly looks to be better than 300mm. It also worked well with the additional 4x digital at the high end of the zoom. Auto focus worked well through the range I tested. I haven't taken the time to attempt measurement of any chromatic aberration or barrel distortion, so I won't suggest there couldn't be any - it's just that I couldn't see anything with the naked eye. Well, I couldn't see anything but clear and bright images. If my opinion changes through further use, I'll update my opinion, but my initial reaction is to offer my highest recommendation for use with a digicam with a zoom, like mine, of up to 7.1x optical.Update: I've now taken many photographs using this lens, and I've had the opportunity to compare photos using this lens with those of the same subject but with the internal zoom of my P7000. I see no added distortion and no noticeable added chromatic aberration. Also, to check on the manufacturer's claim that the lens does not subtract any light, I set the camera to auto, snapped photos with and without the lens (with the camera on a tripod and hand-held) and then checked the reported aperture and shutter speed settings. In 9 out of 10 times there was no difference at all. The only differences were exceptionally subtle, and for a film guy, the differences were meaningless -- shutter speed of 1/240 instead of 1/250, for example. I am very pleased with this lens so far, and I am not inclined to alter my earlier review.Further Update: I've been using this lens in situations I never expected, and I am very pleased with its performance. It is a bit heavy, but not at all uncomfortable. In fact, I rather like the feel of it, and when I use it on the P7000, it really reminds me of an SLR. Just last night I used this lens to take pictures at my son's baseball game. There was very poor lighting, and I had to be far away in order to get unobstructed views of the players. I was able to shoot at full tele (above an effective 300mm) at f5.6 and shutter speeds varying from 1/15 to 1/250 (ISO range of 400 to 1600). I can't think of a teleconverter or another lens which would have allowed me to take those photographs.
