It's OK....I mean, what do you really want / expect for $13? I just bought it and tested it out a bit. Seems like it'll be useful for indoor shots where you want to get a group of people or a whole room in the shot and don't want to run out of room backing into the corner of the room. There is one serious limitation. The vignetting is so severe that it makes this into basically a special effects lens and not something you'd leave on the camcorder on a regular basis. I mean, that amount of vignetting cannot be used on a regular basis, so I'm still gonna have to get a good-quality wide angle lens at some point. As far as whether it is .45x or .8x as discussed in other reviews, I don't know the numbers, but I've posted a video here that demonstrates what it can do - in this case, expand the horizontal field of view at 4.5 feet by 18 inches, which seems like a lot. Actually, I'd be pretty happy with the whole deal if not for the vignetting, which is just... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Biggest Quality Surprise Ever, February 6, 2009
This review is from: Digital Concepts 0.45X Professional 43mm Wide Angle HD Lens with Macro (Electronics)
I purchased this 0.45X Wide Angle accessory lens to attach to my HV30 Canon HD camcorder. For a lens under $30 (my price) it was more of an experimental purchase with little confidence that such a cheap piece of glass would compliment a $600 Hi Def camcorder. I am still in shock after performing a wide variety of test footage and stills over the past several weeks. In a nutshell, if I scratched or damaged this lens to make it unusable I'd have another on order as soon as I got back online.

There are many generic accessory lenses out there to fit the Canon HV30 43mm threads. And many have proven to be worth the equivalent of a fishing sinker with multiple problems like lens barrel vignetting, halo'ing, fringing, fisheye, blurring at the edges, inability to create sharp focus, and about every other performance flaw you can imagine. Its the old adage "You get what you pay for." This BUCKS the rule~! This lens, identified by the brand name Digital Concepts and made by Sakar... Read more

Figured I would make a quick video showing how this lens is actually not a rip off and is worth way more than the price. The Fisheye Effect has been known to happen with this product, but it doesn't happen on my camcorder (JVC GZ-HD30) Enjoy!
