The telephoto lens functions like you'd expect. Theres a small issue with vig when you zoom out but its not an issue if you want to use it for tight close-up shots. The lens is very clear and doesn't take away from the clarity of the...

2.0 out of 5 stars Opteka Wide Angle & Telephoto HD Lens Set
I recently purchased the Opteka .5x Wide Angle & 2x Telephoto HD² Lens Set for Samsung HMX10C MX10P DC173U DC575 for around $30.00. It seemed like a good deal but as everything that is too cheap, it turned out that the the telephoto lens did hardly nothing in comparison with the camcorder's original lens. meaning, I just used the camera lens instead of the telephoto...

It seemed like a good deal but as everything that is too cheap, it turned out that the the telephoto lens did hardly nothing in comparison with the camcorder's original lens. meaning, I just used the camera lens instead of the telephoto because it did not get me any closer to the subject. Needless to say the tripod and cleaning kit are useless, just something else they include in the set to call more attention.

I purchased these lenses because they were fair priced and seemed like the best route to take for what I needed film-wise.

The telephoto lens functions like you'd expect. Theres a small issue with vig when you zoom out but its not an issue if you want to use it for tight close-up shots. The lens is very clear and doesn't take away from the clarity of the cameras lens.

The wide angle lens is what I use most. I like to shoot indoors and camera positioning is important to me when setting up a scene. This lens allows you set your camera up at about half the normal distance and still capture a whole wall. Before I'd have to place the camera up against the opposite wall and zoom out to almost capture the whole 'landscape'.

The kit also includes lens cleaning accessories that I've yet to use.

To sum things up the lenses simply do what they're supposed to do.

Camera: Samsung HMX-100
Purpose: short indie film projects
