Sony VCL-HG0730 Wide Angle Conversion Lens Review
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3M5D8JGH5U11Q I like the Sony VCL-HG0730 wide angle conversion lens. See my video review.

Great product - One thing I would like to see different...
Overall I am very happy with this lens. I use it with an HDR-HC3 & it definitely widens the captured range with no distortion. It is especially useful if you are working in small areas or find yourself panning around frequently. I have 2 complaints on this lens though - it obstructs the flash on my HC3 so I can only take photos with this lens in good light. This is really more of a design fault on the camera than the lens but... Other thing is it does not allow you to use any filters - I would like to use some polarizing filters etc which this will not allow for. Otherwise good product & would recomend.

Necessary but blurry on the edges.
This is a must have for doing any close-up or indoor footage. If using on a HD 1080 video camera then you will notice a little blurriness along the edge of the frame. If you have a lot of camera motion in your video it will not be too noticeable, it's mainly when the camera is static does your eye tend to zone in on it. Over all it's a good product.
