Now that the vivo X300 Extremely is out and promoting, you will additionally be capable of purchase its accompanying images equipment.
Vivo has gone about issues otherwise than a few of its friends. As a substitute of discovering area for a second telephoto digital camera on the again, the X300 Extremely can prolong the attain of its 85mm f/2.7 lens via teleconverter lenses. That is plural, as a result of this 12 months, along with the 200mm lens, there’s additionally a 400mm one.
Now, these aren’t your typical digital camera lenses, the place you get focusing elements and an aperture contained in the lens. These are teleconverters, which implies that they basically enlarge the devoted lens they sit over (or underneath, as in some instances with correct mirrorless and DSLR lenses).
This enables the teleconverters to be less complicated and smaller than typical lenses. Additionally they do not intrude with the built-in lens’s high quality, which is neat!
The 2 new teleconverters – 200mm and 400mm
The vivo X300 Extremely Images Package has loads of equipment. It begins with the case, which (naturally) mounts to the digital camera. It has a bayonet across the X300 Extremely’s digital camera island, permitting you to suit totally different filters. There is a common protecting filter (in two colours), one for attaching UV, ND, or round polarizer filters over the X300 Extremely’s cameras, and one for attaching the 2 teleconverter lenses. Not like the Xiaomi 17 Extremely’s images equipment, there is not any lens cap.
The 2 lenses include two-piece tripod collars. The primary attaches to the entrance barrel of the lens and also you screw it all the way down to lock it tight. The opposite is an Arca-Swiss tripod mounting plate, which screws onto the collar.
We’re undecided that the barrel of the lens is the perfect balancing place for mounting on a tripod, because the telephone with the case and the grip remains to be heavier. Nonetheless, all the pieces appears tight and durable when it is all screwed into place.
The complete equipment assembled
The brand new digital camera grip on the images equipment has extra controls than its predecessor. With the X300 Extremely, you’ve gotten a video document button, a scroll wheel, a zoom lever, and the shutter button. The brand new grip has a further operate button and a flash button.
Talking of previous versus new, the brand new 2.35x G2 200mm lens is significantly extra compact than its predecessor. This could possibly be as a result of discount in lens aperture on the X300 Extremely’s 85mm zoom digital camera – it is again to an f/2.7 lens, whereas the X200 Extremely makes use of an 85mm f/2.3 lens.
The brand new 200mm lens is way smaller than the previous one
You may positively really feel the distinction when utilizing the images equipment with the 200mm lens. It is compact and lightweight, and there is hardly any really feel of the 200mm lens pulling the telephone down.
It is a completely totally different story once you’ve mounted the 400mm lens. It is chonky and you are feeling it. We do not foresee many individuals casually strolling round with this setup. It is extra of a devoted setup you’d take when going photo-taking.
Utilizing the teleconverter lenses on the vivo X300 Extremely may be very easy. There isn’t any longer a necessity to enter menus and choose a mode. Now, you merely faucet the little teleconverter icon within the digital camera viewfinder.
From there, the telephone asks you to establish which lens you’ve gotten – the previous 200mm, the brand new 200mm, or the 400mm. Simply faucet the one you want, and all the pieces works – no the wrong way up viewfinders and whatnot.
There are totally different zoom ranges with the totally different lenses. The 200mm additionally exhibits toggles for 400mm, 800mm, and 1,600mm. With the 400mm, you additionally get 800mm, 1,600mm, and three,200mm.
