Note: #38751 Wide Photo Adapter 60DX is NOT INCLUDED in Art.#37246.
The same anti-reflective AS coatings, which are used for our high-end VSD100F3.8 Astrograph, are used to take advantage of 99.9% superb high transmission of light per lens surface. Loss of light, ghost, and flare images are eliminated substantially due to the complete matte finish inside.
Using in combination with the optional reducer HD(Art. #37247), the focal length will be reduced by 0.79x (F7.7→6.1). While maintaining an image circle, largely improving sharpness over the entire imaging field.

■ Ultra-sharp image over entire imaging field on DSLR full-format sensor
The SD flattener HD improves the flat-field performance toward the edge of the field of view closely maintaining the original focal length of the SD-series optical tubes, fully covering the imaging field of the DSLR camera with the full-format sensor at an image circle of 44mm diameter.

Full-format and APS-C is a common name for size representing the size of the light-receiving plane(imaging sensor or film) of a DSLR camera. Full-format (36x24mm), APS-C (23x16mm), and Four Thirds(17.3x13mm) are typically available standards for DSLR cameras. In general, the larger the light-receiving plane, the larger the range can be shot.
