I recently bought a Sony H5 and was interested in getting a wide angle lens for it but have seen some awful pictures taken using them - lots of fisheye, blurring and distortion around the edges.
I'm what would be considered a hobbyist and don't want to spend a lot of money on a 58mm wide angle lens, but I don't want to waste my money buying something that is completely useless either. The Sony lens offered for the H5 is 0.7x which I have read is not very "wide" appearing...still again I don't want to end up with fisheye by overdoing...so how wide is truly useful? I've found a number of inexpensive W/A lenses at the newworldvideodirect website starting at around $49. Optics, Digital Concepts and Crystal Optics are inexpensive brands they sell. Would these all be junk? I really can't spend too much though - maybe $150 tops. Any input would be appreciated! |

Tullio recommended the Raynox DCR-PRO6600
http://www.raynox.co.jp/english/digital/h1/index.htm I think he posted some images from it somewhere on the board afew months back. Those cheap wide angles you referred to ? Umm.. yes, well, excellent as paperweights, poor for anything else.. |
