RF-S18-45mm lens compatibility with Raynox wide-angle conversion lens

Anonymous — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 15:03:39 GMT

Good Morning,

I have a Raynox DCR-7900ZD 0.79x Wide Angle Lens (rear mount diameter 58mm) previously used on my powershot pro1.

I would like to attach it to my RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens (49mm thread size).

Are there any adapters that would work?

Thank you

These screw on adapters are not good they will affect the AF system. It would be best to look into a wide angle lens if needed.

Greetings,

Its a lot more than input. Its excellent advice. I'll second it. Please do not try to adapt or connect this adapter to your camera or lens. We see these adapters offered in "kits" so a seller can artificially inflate the price of a camera. They are often inferior quality. Please do not subject your camera or lens to this injustice. Please consider the RF-S 10-18mm.

Another don't do it.

Like they said. Step-down rings could be used to physically attach the wide adapter to the lens, but this would be a BIG mistake. Results would be poor, and damage to the lens could result.

The weight of the screw-on lens will strain the AF motors. The additional weight of an adapter will only increase the strain.
