Sorry. Just did more testing. I guess it does work, I was just expecting more zoom. Doesn't seem to make too much of a difference.

its 1.4X. not sure what you are expecting. that makes 200mm = 320mm which is nice increase. only 1 stop light loss and excellent optical performance... just used it with 50mm lens to get 80mm close up shot on job.

I think it makes a drastic difference! I I'm pretty impressed with the clarity as well. Of course it will all depend on your original lens.

Nope- its a horrible camera. I had the same problem. The only way to zoom is move the camera itself.

I wish I could help you but sadly I can't ! I bought the same lens and it works perfectly well ! It's on my camera (a canon T3 rebel) permanently except when I need my zoom ! Maybe you should try it on another camera ! It would tell you if it has a defect or not ! Sorry about that ! Arnaud.

Not sure. Mine never worked properly and the zoom function was non-functional.

Hi personally it did not work for me. The camera becomes set back so far as a result of the mounting that focussing is a problem. For me other than macro work it was not suitable and certainly not as all round useful as I understood it to be.I returned mine for a refund

Hello. Sorry to report that it DOESN'T have focus peaking. Perhaps they can include it in a future firmware version.

Hi, It didn't make such a big difference. I thought it would let in more light and also help with taking closer shots, but it did marginally. I never ever use my other 14-42mm lens though, because this one is so small and does the job of the other one anyway. So I would get it if you also want to have a smaller lens that you will keep on for most of the time.

Delay not very good. I have a DigiTech RP 55 that does it all. I would'nt buy the Zoom again. Hope this helps.

No it didn't work. When we put the cover with the zoom on the camera it covered up the camera eye and wouldn't focus.

No it doesn't. You can get a program to do digital zoom, but that is just blowing up the picture and making it fuzzy.

I really didn't notice any difference in speed of focus. It seemed to work fairly normally.

My experience is that zoom works slow (if at all) when the camera is busy with saving previous image. Just does not have capacity to manage current shoot. This might take long period of time, up to 10-14 seconds. IF it is slow in other cases as well, then you have another problem, might need a repair / cleaning of mechanics.

I as well have a focus problem, I have to bump the zoom a bit when I first start the camera. Not aware of any solutions and am looking for a warranty fix.

No, and the focus will not change either. The focus issue is an even bigger problem than the lack of zoom.

it's because the zoom on the video mode fails on this camera after awhile,at least it did on mine.i took prolly 10 videos at concerts and noticed i was able to zoom while recording.then all of the sudden it didn't work anymore.u have to zoom in to where u want it now and can't adjust the zoom once u push record.

Thank you for the response. But that is not it. I have walked through all the "Aspect' setting and the problem still exists in each area. It is very bad in the zoom setting.

The short answer is that you should read previous reviews. You then learn this adapter does widen the field of view, but at the expense of severe vignetting. To compensate, you need to either crop the image, or zoom in until the edges clear. That amount of zoom exactly covers the amount this adapter increases the field of view. Do not waste your money. Unless vignetting is the goal you are after.
