Just bought a Sony HDR HC7, and I need to purchase a wide angle lens extension for indoor walk-throughs for real estate sales videos.
The Sony lens retails for about $360, which is pretty expensive for a screw-in extension.
As I recall, the Sony lens is 0.7, which tells me very little.
I was searching for aftermarket lenses, and found a pair of Cokin lenses that will fit. The wide angle lens is 0.5 magnification. The telephoto is 2.O. And the price for the pair is $150, compared to $720 for similar in the Sony brand.
Can anyone tell me if Cokin lenses are okay? And is 0.5 even wider than 0.7?? Or less wide?
Thanks in advance.
