Customer Reviews
Great wide angle lens for average video shooters
I own a Sony HDR-XR520V (as of March 2009 Sony's top consumer HD camcorder) and this lens fits perfectly without any adapters. It's a bit heavy and bulky but it gives you great shots that look professional. Perfect for 'Letterbox' recording. It does not support additional filters though and recommends that you do not use them with it either. I would like to see a filter marketed that could be attached over this lens by a rubber ring. Or (even better) a rubber ring adapter that could be used to attach any different filter with standard threads.
This lens works beautifully! Worth the money. VIDEO REVIEW INCLUDED
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1J9OAVQ7F9ZBP Having recently purchased this lens, I wanted to share my opinions on it. My camera is the Sony HDR-XR520V. My biggest reason for wanting this lens was so I could fit more in the picture when I filming indoors. It works beautifully for this, I now have a lot more in the frame. The picture is clear all the way around. There is some slight barrel distortion around the edges of the picture, but it's only noticeable with straight lines, and it's very slight. I've read in places that the lens is heavy and uncomfotable to use one the camera, but I disagree. Yes, it does add some weight, not enough for me to be concerned though.
I can go on, but I can't think of a better way to illustrate this lens than to show you what it looks like in action. Please watch my video review.
I hope this review helped you in your decision. I am very happy I bought this lens, and you will be too.
Since Amazon is still having problems getting my review online, I hope they let me post the Youtube link for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFKMWblI4kw&feature=related
