XitXT30WAB 30mm 0.43X Wide Angle Lens for Camera - Black

I bought a few field flattening lenses from Alibaba to get more room to work under the scope. They weren't as good as this. They also required an adapter ring. Good quality optics. Nice working distance. Good for soldering and polishing.

I purchased this Wide-Angle Lens to add to my new Andonstar AD407 3D HDMI Digital Microscope for a wider view. It works perfect! Excellent clarity. No distortion. The lens is high quality. A fantastic value. I would recommend it to anyone needed a 30 mm thread mount lens.

Nice clear image. My only minor complaint is that the rear lens cap is not deep enough to go down over the male mounting threads and friction fit over the sides of the smaller rear lense. It just sits loosely and falls off. Not a big deal, but it would be nice to have the lense safely protected from dust on both sides when not mounted.

I saw this lens and one of the reviews mentioned it could be used with the Andonstar AD407 digital microscope. The AD407's limited field of view is one of the things I don't like about it. It was cheap enough that I decided to try it.As you can see from the photos, it does greatly increase your field of view and the lens is of decent quality. It attaches in place of the Andonstar's protective clear filter. This means that if you are using it to solder with, you might damage the lens. If you're not using it to solder, it works fine and is easy to change out.

The price was good but then again you get what you pay for. I loved how the 30mm allows me to just screw it into my factory camera without the need for adapter rings. The reason I gave this a 3 star review was the picture quality gets blurry around the edges of the playback. It comes out fairly clear in the middle however you'll notice a lot of the finer detail really get blurry the more to the edge you look. I'm going to include a side by side comparison of with and without the wide angle lens.

This lens works perfectly on my Andonstar AD407 Pro scope, expands the field of view with no noticeable image degradation.

DOES NOT FIT JVC EVERIO GZ-HD30 US

This lens kit made my Andonstar AD407 much more useful for PCB work by widening my field of view and increasing the depth of field. Circuit boards with high components were often impossible to keep entirely in focus, but now I have about a depth of field of around 25mm (~1"), which makes it much easier to work on PCBs without my tools being completely out of focus. And being able to tilt the board while I'm working and not needing to refocus is fantastic!

The lens situated to be well made and fit the Andonstar 407 great. Field of view on scope was barely larger and I did not feel like it was that useful. In the end what really killed this product was chromatic aberration. The lens produces multiple colorful edges on objects.

Does the job as described

I bought this thinking that it will fit my Tomlov microscope to increase the angle of view. Unfortunately there is no way to mount this on its camera.
