Horseman<\/a> press release:<\/p>\n

\nDirect Source Marketing (DSM), the sole U.S. distributor of Horseman photo products for professionals and high-end consumers, today announced unique multi-coated conversion lenses for DSLR cameras. [Of course they should work on any film body, too. — ed]<\/p>\n
"What makes the Horseman lenses unique is that they provide wide-angle and macro photography easily and comfortably, without changing lenses," said Richard Dischler, DSM President. "They are easily and quickly attached in front of the taking lens, much like attaching a filter. The lenses are also very portable and offer an affordable solution for the end user who is looking to extend the use-function of their DSLR."<\/p>\n
Street pricing is expected to range from $60-$120, depending on the model, of which there are seven.<\/p>\n
Among the numerous models is the Horseman 0.7 Wide, which is designed exclusively for 18-55mm zoom lenses. The 0.7x wide conversion lens is thin, lightweight and can be attached in front of the taking lens of your camera, quickly and easily.<\/p>\n
Another is the Horseman 0.6 Wide\/Macro, a 0.6x wide conversion lens that also serves as a macro lens. The lens delivers crisp images without chromatic aberration in the periphery of images, enabling you to enjoy wide-angle photography over the entire focal length range of your DSLR zoom lens.<\/p>\n
The Wide Macro lens is particularly effective in shooting wide angles from confined spaces or when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in a tight spot and can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t step back. Other examples would be shooting scenic vistas or towering buildings. The lens gives you perspective and allows you to capture near-by objects larger and distant subjects smaller.<\/p>\n
The Horseman 0.25x Superwide\/Macro is a 0.25x super-wide conversion lens that enables you to enjoy super-wide-angle photography just like a fish-eye lens. In addition, the lens incorporates a macro lens so you can get real close to your subjects for frame-filling impressive macro shots.<\/p>\n
Both the Horseman 0.6x Wide and the 0.25x Superwide conversion lens turn into a macro lens when its front part is removed. Macro photography lets you take close-up shots and bring out the minutest details of the smallest subjects.<\/p>\n
The Horseman 0.45x WIDE conversion lens serves as a wide lens when it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s used as is, but it turns into a macro lens when you remove the front portion. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a uniquely versatile conversion lens that enables you to enjoy wide-angle and macro photography with just one lens.<\/p>\n
Other models include the Horseman 08x SUPERWIDE conversion lens, which lets you make the most of a fish-eye lens\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 barrel distortion; the Horseman 4.0x Macro, which is designed primarily for medical applications, and the MiniDigi AF5.0, which allows you to have super-wide and macro photography on the Rollei MiniDigi AF5.0.<\/p>\n
Horseman products are manufactured in Japan by Komamura Corporation.<\/p>\n
The Horseman conversion lenses will be available at professional photo dealers. MSRP is expected to be in the [USD] $60-$120 range.<\/p>\n
