Change Field-Of-View Without Compromising Image Quality with Resolve Optics Lens Adapters

A lens adapter can offer an economic solution to achieve the desired field of view (FOV) or image format from a prime lens in a camera or sensor system. Unfortunately many generic lens adapters are designed to try to work on as many lenses as possible and consequently compromise image quality.

New Diffractive Optical Elements Show Promise for Extremely Small Zoom Lenses

People with an interest in photography will know that a big camera is often necessary to obtain features such as a powerful zoom. This is due to the fact that almost all cameras depend on refraction, where the light passing through lenses slows down and changes direction. A certain amount of space is needed to focus this refracted light.
