Customer Reviews

Great lens, one problem though.4
This is a great lens for my sony-dscH1. The only problem I have with it is that if you use the flash that is on the camera when the lens is attached, it creates a round shadow at the bottom of the picture due to the fact that the lens is pretty large and the flash sits low.

Can't see the difference2
As a convert from film SLR's to a fixed lens digital, I thought the wide angle attachment would be just the thing. I tend to take a lot of room interior and architectural shots with a wide angle lens - a 24mm on a 35mm camera being my favorite.
After shooting numerous test shots with and without the wide angle attachment, I seriously can't see much of a difference - especially with a fairly short focusing distance - say 6 - 10 feet.
Additionally, screwing the fairly heavy piece of glass onto the sun shade of the camera (the only way it mounts) makes for a very large, unbalanced camera hanging from your neck.
If you really need a wide angle, save your money and buy a true interchangeable lens camera.

wide but wide enough?4
The wide angle works as advertised and is of very high quality. Don't expect a HUGE difference with it as width is concerned but it does help. Overall it is a high quality lens and is everything the manufacturer says it is.
