Very unhappy [Posted on 2007-12-28]
This lens just dose not work. Because of the have to have tunnel adapter there is no advantage. You can take better shots without this waste of space lens. I am supprised Kodak even make one available for this camera it just does not work. Do not waste your money.
Lens may be in the way of your flash. [Posted on 2008-01-27]
I bought this to use to take some interior room pictures for a website. What I discovered is that I couldn't use the flash with this lens installed on my Kodak Z650 because the lens covered the lower part of the flash. After changing the camera settings, I took the pics without flash anyway but lighting is critical. Just be aware you may need additional lighting for inside shots.
Prime quality - great for Panasonic FZ50 [Posted on 2008-04-23]
Great lens - superior quality. Using it on my FZ50 and works great. Contrary to previous reviews, no adapter needed - screws directly in the lens (55mm). You certainly need to unscrew the filter if you have placed one on your existing lens. Leave your lens on the widest setting!
Your build in flash will not work if you change the camera settings to wide lens. This means that you also have no slave flash working. Only option is an external flash on the shoe. Be careful, I tried a lot of brands and actually nothing works properly except the olympia flash 36 and 50. They are compatible to Panasonic TTL cameras and much cheaper. I tried to use the lens without changing the settings on the camera and the flash certainly works just fine - including the slave. The picture quality is great even without changing the settings to wide angle lens.
Results with this lens are incredible. A much wider range in highest quality - okay it is a Zeiss even if it is made in Japan - super quality.
It comes with good lens covers and a black nice looking pouch.
Great buy and a very good price for this high quality lens. Impossible to do without. Finally everyone on the table is on my pictures....
Great item !! [Posted on 2008-05-03]
This lens looks great on my Kodak P712 camera and produces really SHARP images when set properly.I'll never understand why Kodak dropped the P series cameras. I've been a professional film photographer for over 50 years and changed over to digital about three years ago and can't say enough good words about the P712. I think Kodak made a big mistake.
BE SURE YOU HAVE ALL THE PARTS [Posted on 2008-07-09]
I received this lens and looked forward to using with my Kodak Dx-7590 digital camera. However, upon receipt I discovered that a lens adapter is needed to transition from my camera's 49mm connection to the 55mm connection on the wide angle lens.
After weeks of searching for an adapter at the Kodak store, Amazon, e-Bay, etc. I have given up and must return the lens.
CAUTION-BE SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF THE NEED FOR AN ADAPTER .
