Wide Angle Converter Raynox HD 7049 PRO 0.7x 49mm lens adapter

Raynox Wide Angle Converter HD 7049 PRO 0.7x (49mm) is an optical adapter that attaches to lenses with a 49mm filter thread to reduce the effective focal length by 0.7×. The converter expands the field of view, providing wider framing for still photography and video without replacing the primary lens. It is compact and designed to maintain image quality across the frame, making it suitable for landscape, architecture and group shots where a broader perspective is required.

Advantages

The converter delivers a 0.7× reduction in focal length to increase the angle of view while keeping the lens assembly lightweight and portable. Optimized optics aim to retain sharpness and contrast, and the 49mm thread size ensures compatibility with a wide range of lenses via direct mounting or step-up rings. The design allows quick attachment and removal, enabling flexible use in changing shooting conditions.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography to capture wider vistas
• Architectural exteriors and interiors that require broader perspective
• Group and event photography where more subjects must fit in the frame
• Travel and street photography when a wider field of view is needed without changing lenses
• Video work that benefits from wider framing on the same lens

Key specifications

• Magnification factor: 0.7× (wide-angle conversion)
• Filter/thread size: 49 mm
• Intended use: stills and video wide-angle conversion
• Optical construction: multi-element converter designed to preserve image quality
• Mounting: screws onto 49mm filter thread or via compatible step-up/down rings
• Form factor: compact, lightweight add-on adapter

How to use

Screw the Raynox HD 7049 PRO onto the front filter thread of a compatible lens with a 49mm thread, or use an appropriate step-up/step-down ring if the lens has a different thread size. After mounting, focus and recompose as needed; the converter changes the effective focal length so framing may shift compared to the bare lens. For video, verify focus and stabilization performance after attachment. Remove the converter when not needed and store it in a protective pouch to prevent scratches.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the converter on lenses known to perform well wide open or stopped down slightly; check for vignetting and edge sharpness at different apertures and distances. When precise perspective control is required, consider using a tripod and live-view framing. Clean optical surfaces before use and avoid exposing the converter to heavy moisture or impact.
