Olympus VF-KL3
Not much is documented about the Olympus VF-KL3. What the record shows is that it is a wide conversion lens for a video camera, not a standalone camera lens. It is a supplementary optic that attaches to a camcorder's built-in lens and widens the field of view.
Almost everything that survives comes from one vintage marketplace listing. A Mercari shop for Olympus aspherical camera lenses offered the VF-KL3 at $25.00, described simply as a "Vintage Olympus VF-KL3 Wide Conversion Lens for Video Camera." No specifications have turned up in period catalogs or directories. That means no focal length, magnification, thread size, optical construction or list of compatible camcorder models. Its production years are unknown.
Known details:
- Type: wide conversion lens for video camera
- Manufacturer: Olympus
- Observed listing price: $25.00 (Mercari)
- Production years: not documented
