5.0 out of 5 stars Nice fisheye, June 25, 2008
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Opteka 0.43x HD² Full Fisheye Lens for Sony Handycam DCR-SX45, SX45/S, SX65, SX65/B, SX85, SX85/S, SR11, XR100, XR200V, XR500V, XR520V, CX130, CX160, CX160/B, CX550V, CX560V, CX560V, CX700V, HC9, XR550V, HVR-A1U, HD1000U and HXR-MC50U Camcorder (Electronics)
Length:: 1:15 Mins

I use the Opteka .43x fisheye converter on a Sony DCR-HC62 camcorder. The lens has a 37mm thread size and came with a 37-30mm step-down ring to fit on my camera. It works just the way a fisheye converter should work. The video looks good, I have no complaints.

This was a great product to buy. Absolutely no complaints. This wide angle fish eye lens did exactly what it said it was supposed to do and I couldn't be happier. It came with a bag for the lens and a very warm hat with the "Opteka" name on it. So I guess I got more than what I paid for. I would recommend this product to anyone.

I bought this lens as a birthday present for my brother... I wasn't too sure how it would go over but I figured for the price it wouldn't be too much of a loss if he decided it wasn't what he was looking for... turns out he was thrilled with it. It was a perfect fit for his Sony DCR SR45 camcorder... the "span" of the fisheye scope is excellent... it's a great, affordable "starter" lens for those up and coming do-it-yourself skateboard videos... it even comes with a little leather protective pouch.... and best of all was the price!

The Opteka .43x Full Fisheye lens is priced very low and is a good alternative to the much more expensive Sony product. The 5 stars is a value rating which in my opinion is good.

Got this for my SOny HDR CX130, it screwed on right outta the box, and the image quality looks great in HD. The circle is not as wide as the screen when zoomed all the way back (get what you pay for) but you can just zoom in a little bit and get just the blackness in the corners, or zoom a little more and have no blackness at all. There are many better fisheye lenses in the world, but not for $30.
