Wide Lens

Skyml from Skydive the Ranch, Gardiner, NY

I use this lense for skydiving on an Sony HDR-HC3 and the results so far are excellent. The ability to keep the quality of HD and focus thru the entire zoom range is critical in my occupation. Am very impressed with the images shot in HD thru this lens. It is slightly wider then the last .5x that I used, almost like a .45x with very little to no distorsion. Read more

Lens works great

chuck from Albuquerque NM

Image quality on my Vixia hs10 in full 1060 30p shooting shows great color, sharpness, and saturation as well with little distortion at the widest setting and no fall off in the corners. I use it to document social events and does a great job showing large group in big spaces and the activities going on. Also it zooms though the full range of from tight to wide shots with no problems, and great for walking with the camera on a stabelizer Read more

Poor lens

Poor lens

Rick from Columbia, MD

I purchased this conversion lens to use on a Canon HV30.The resolution is terrible- about a 25% reduction in center, a 4 to 5 pixel blur at edges.Severe vignetting, even with all adapters removed.Bad chromatic aboration.Need to use it with out the adapter rings. Result is that the back of the lens rubs against the HV30 shutter.Check out this link: [@] returned it and bought the Canon version. The Canon is not as wide angle, but a good HD lens. Read more

Lightweight and rugged wide angle lens

Jump House Design from Los Angeles, CA

I purchased this lens to supplement the limited zoom on a Sony HDR-HC7 which we use for shots we don't want to risk our big cameras on. It's sharp, lightweight and well-constructed. After looking at other options, including Sony's own very weighty option, we chose this one on specs alone. We have been very pleased! Read more

Very good lens

We-Co from Minneapolis, MN

If you want wide, this is the lens to buy. It does lose some quality, but not enough to not want to buy this lens. Read more
