Firstly, a note of caution about using these conversion methods.
The first option is to use a 0.7x wide angle conversion lens from Digital
King. (Available on Amazon, Ebay and other distributors).
It is the Digital King DSW Pro 0.7X It’s around £50-£70 in the UK and
$80 USA Amazon.
It converts the 25mm setting to 17.5mm. This is quite an improvement
yet doesn’t put the lens into “fish-eye” category.
If you get the one with a 52mm thread it will screw directly onto the lens
of the FZ200.
It has no vignetting as the front optic of this lens is 67mm wide so the
camera can be used at its widest angle position thus losing none of the
extra field of view.
The lens weighs 76 grams and measures 80mm diameter x 18mm long
It will take 67mm filters fitted to the front of the lens. Do not add at the
rear as this may cause vignette to occur.
The weight of the suggested conversion lenses is quite
high and a very specific discipline is needed to use them. If
you do not follow the discipline you may cause damage to
the lens and/or the zoom motor gearbox. I accept no
responsibility for any damage to your camera if you want to
employ these lenses. I have used these lenses fairly
frequently and have had no issues with my camera which
has now taken over 70,000 images.
