 Very good......but.... August 16, 2008
Duck Man (San Diego, CA. USA)
This lens is excellent on the front of my HV30. BUT I also have a $30 Merkury wide angle lens and IMO frankly the $100 price difference is not even remotely justified. See Merkury Innovations CL-52WB 52mm High Definition 0.45X Wide Angle Lens - it has slightly soft outside edges (can be cropped in your NLE) , but otherwise is fantastic.
I think that the eye is not as aware (or at all) of outstanding technical specifications as we would hope on a TV. Perhaps this is THE lens to get if you are showing your footage on the side of a barn, but on a TV...save the $$$. Really - you won't notice at all.
update Sept 06 2008: After editing a good few hours of HDV footage and comparing the cheap and the $$$ Raynox 6600 WA lenses close up, the Raynox is a more consistent and reliable bet than the Merkury. I eat my words. DANG! I wanted to sell it.
The Raynox Pro 0.66: Wide Works! May 12, 2008
Michael F. Brown (Seattle, WA USA)
I was very happy with my new camcorder and kept wanting the shot to be "just a little bit wider." The zoom is built-in however and I thought my problem would just remain my problem. Then I read several articles on-line that spoke highly of the Raynox and Amazon was the place to find the best price. My experience was totally satisfactory and the Raynox is easy to use and switch out, which is important for field work. I'm not using it as much as I thought, but when I do, the resolution is very good edge-to-edge, which is important with HDTV work.
 I love it August 28, 2007

I'm a fan of landscape photography and this is the perfect accessory for my Canon PS S3IS. It is good because it has a front thread (72 mm) to put filters on. I often use this with a Linear Polarizer and it produces a slight vignetting that can be eliminated with a small push in the zoom rocker (from 1x to 1.1x) so it is not really something I regret. It converts my 36 mm Equivalent focal length into 24 mm, which broadens the field of view substantially. Barrel distortion with this converter is negligible when compared to the camera's own performance and to other Wide Angle Converters. I totally recommend it.
