This
composite image is made from the actual sample image
from each of the wide converters. Lens distortion was
corrected for each sample image so they would line up
when overlaid. This allows you to see the angle of view
for each converter lens all at once to compare. Composite

The
Raynox 6600 is the most rectilinear of the group - that
is, there is almost no barrel distortion and it depicts
straight lines as straight lines. This makes it ideal
for architecture, or any situation where distortion is
undesireable. |

The
Tiffen 37mm .56x is easily the widest of the group. Surprisingly,
it shows little barrel distortion, (and what little there
is can easily be corrected with software) This makes it
ideal for shooting interiors (as well as exteriors). Realtors
might find this lens the most useful of the group.
