Key Specifications & Features Vivitar MTV222
0.7x Magnification: Widens the camera’s standard field of view by roughly 30%. Unlike the “semi-fisheye” (0.42x) models that heavily distort the image, a 0.7x wide conversion lens provides a more natural, panoramic perspective with minimal barrel distortion at the edges.
Compact “MTV” Series Build: Vivitar designated its “MTV” lineup as a lighter, lower-profile series designed specifically for the ultra-compact Handycam-style camcorders popular in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Thread Size Compatibility: Most lenses in the MTV sub-series typically feature a 37mm mounting thread, matching the standard filter rings on consumer 8mm, Hi8, and MiniDV tape cameras.
Optics: Multi-coated optical glass elements housed in a metal or rigid composite barrel.
