It is what it is... [Posted on 2008-07-17]
This is a nice chunk of glass... Slight barrel distortion, slight vignetting and a little soft, but all in all a great performer.

Let's be honest, it's a sub 200 dollar lens, so don't expect miracles. But IMHO, it's worth every penny. Plus, it looks cool on the HV20 (see my pics above).

Heavy? Yes, but so what.

help please [Posted on 2008-08-06]
i know its in the title but do these lens work on the hv30, if so has anyone tried them and would they recommend them?

Great wide angle converter [Posted on 2008-08-10]
Good wide angle converter with the Canon quality built in. It makes the camera somewhat front heavy because it weighs about the same as the entire camera.

HG10? Buy it, put it on, leave it on! [Posted on 2008-08-15]
Canon quality. Great lens. If you have an HG10 or HV20 camcorder, I would highly recommend buying this for your camera, putting it on and leaving it on.

Here's a video you can watch to see what it does:

As some reviewers have pointed out, yes, it makes the camera heavier, but it my mind, that's a good thing. Plus, I wouldn't recommend shooting video without a tripod anyway (unless you want to make your viewers sea sick!)

If you buy a $1,000 camera, it only makes sense to add a wide-angle lens.

Highly recommended!

Perfecto [Posted on 2008-09-03]
Simplemente este lente debería estar incluido en la cámara.
Eso sí, el peso del lente hace que la camara e te vaya hacia delante.
Pero sosteniendola bien no hay problema.
