Customer Reviews

Great lens
I bought this for my new HDV FX1 Camcorder, and it works great. Unlike the Century wide-angle lens, this is fully zoom-through. Lens is .8x, which is less than the Century and others, but just about right for HD--since the FX1 already can do a pretty decent wide shot when the zoom is fully backed out, this just gives it an extra boost, converting the camera view from roughly a 35mm lens on a 35mm camera to about a 28mm. Also, very little barrel distortion.

In all a great lens. Only drawback is that it's a big (heavy) lens, but then, hey, it's for a serious prosumer camcorder.

A nice addition to the Z1U kit
A nice piece of glass. Easily screws over the existing lens. Does the job nicely allowing zoom through and no unsightly bending around the edges. Attractive price too.

Great Buy
Adds so much freedom to my regular shooting... Sure makes my job easier being able to get a wider view and more creative shots because of it. Definatelly a good investment.
