Customer Reviews

Great wide-angle lens, does the job!4
Though this wide angle converter lens is pricy, I can tell you that it is worth it! I love using it on my camera when I am filming- it makes the video quality instantly more professional.
The negatives- is getting the lens on my camera is slightly cumbersome... It takes a good minute to make sure it's on correctly. Also, it makes my camera much heavier. And as far as I can tell, I am not able to use any filters over or under the lens. So I can't do a polarizing lens with it... so I'm limited as far as filters go.
Having a great lens like this inspires me to buy more to increase my creativity while filming. Now I want a fish-eye lens! (I'm not ready to buy yet though)
