3.0 out of 5 stars A 2x lens is useful

I am using this on a Sony HDR-HC1 which has only 10x optical zoom, so the 2x this lens adds is handy - but this tunnel vision is a disappointing and unexpected side effect. When zoomed in - or anything past about half way - it does a great job and there is no tunnel-vision.
