COMPATIBILITY
• The HCD 4.8/24 mm is designed for use on the H4X, H2D, H3D, H4D and H5D cameras only.
• The HCD 4.8/24 mm lens is designed solely for digital use. This means that the lens is designed for a format of 37x49
mm and does not cover the lm format (41.5x56mm) and thus the function is disabled when using a lm magazine.
• The HCD 4.8/24 mm lens is not compatible with the converter 1.7x.
