 Decent value, but some quirks may bother videophiles...May 14, 2007
By kdogg
My HC3 badly needs a wide angle lens. I wasn't sure if I'd want to spend for Sony's HD wide angle lens. This lens was cheap enough to take the risk. First, 47th St did include a step up adapter ring even though it's not mentioned in the description.
The lens is pretty bulky (in length), but this is a first lens attachment I've ever purchased (after using HC3 for 10 months w/o any lens). Viginetting (barrel affect) is quite apparent. The optic is too small for the "still" photo setup because it's actually black on the corners. Video recording is OK. Videtaping my kids indoor soccer game, and you can see the lens "bend" straight lines on the floor. For the HC3 indoor recording, a wide angle lens is required and this is a decent lens until you can afford the Sony HD one.
 Excellent wide angle lens, not very expensiveOct 01, 2008

I received the Opteka lens quickly from the seller. I have used it often since getting it. I am very happy with the quality of the videos. And the price was quite reasonable.
Great lens on a budgetMay 27, 2008
By T. Stock
At about 1/8 of the price of the similar lens made by Sony, this lens is a good substiture. There is some slight blurring on the very corners of the screen, but most of the blurring is beyond the viewable region for most TV's so it's barely noticable. It doesn't work with the still photo mode on my HDR-SR1 but I use the still mode so rarely that it doesn't matter to me.
