does the job pretty well

Review Date: September 24, 2008

Reviewer: Tiago G. Mendo, Portugal

It is a good lens. Close-ups don't get much wider, but it is very good for landscapes. The front protection cover could be more tight, so it would not fall so easy. The transport bag is good too.

Great Wide-Angle Lens

Review Date: February 1, 2009

Reviewer: RJ,

This lens is of good quality and does exactly as it should, increase the angle in which you are taking a picture. The first test I did was with my back against the wall looking into my kitchen. With the lens, my Sony DSC-H10 appeared as if it were five feet further back than without the lens! A must get if you want group shots or absolutely stunning landscape pictures. Don't believe some of the other posters belief that this lens "doesn't do that much." If you are a prosumer or above, you know what to expect and what not to expect out of a wide angle lens. This did exactly as it claimed, it changed my focal length from 38mm to ~26.2mm (35mm scale). Great purchase, don't pass this one up. With this lens, the H10 really blows the Panasonic TZ5 out of the water. No need to get a wide-angle camera when this one can be adapted in so many ways.

I was very exicted to hear that my Sony camera had an attachment and that I was not going to have to buy another camera. I needed to take pictures of rooms for real estate and for VRBO listings. The lens works great for that.

Great Product

Reviewer: Gwendoline Springer,

I have used this lense for a lot of different purposes for work and for my personall use and the pictures with the wide angle sure are wonderful when I have wide pictures to take

Just what you expect

Review Date: May 26, 2008

Reviewer: P. Gorski, Milwaukee WI

This wide angle conversion lens does just what you'd expect it to. Regarding a few of the reviews that say it doesn't add that much, maybe the operators didn't have the conversion settings switched properly in the Camera Menu. On a recent trip to the Southwest, the added area was very noticeable. Just sitting in my living room and aiming at the same point with and without the less gives a tangible result. It's true that the lens does block the bottom portion of the flash, but knowing that, adjust your shot accordingly. Also, your zooming is limited with this lens attached, so don't expect to use the full 12x optical of the H5 without removing it. I am very pleased with this lens.

Super for wide angles and close-ups

Review Date: May 22, 2009

Reviewer: Dallas Gypsy, Florida

Tried this out with just a couple of shots. For panoramic shots, it's way cool. But, I didn't know that it would also work with the telephoto feature on my camera. Gets awesome wide-angle close-ups.

Great addition to Sony DSC-H3

Review Date: August 1, 2009

Reviewer: Y. Au,

I got this wide angle conversion lens last month to be put on my Sony DSC-H3. The effect is tremendous! I can now easily capture a wide frame of picture that goes much beyond what H3 had to offer (even though H3 is already pretty good without any additional lenses). With this lens it will never be a problem for me to take group pictures in a small room. I love this lens and bring it to wherever I go.

The lens fits perfectly with my SONY H5 with an adapter and produces beautiful, extra-wide angle photos.

Review Date: October 1, 2009

Reviewer: S. Yu, Jersey City, NJ

I intened to only give it 4-star since with the size of the lens, flash will shot a significant shadow on almost half the size of the photo. Yet, it's the design issue on H5, not the lens. Overall, under sufficient lighting condition, the images look great. Very good quality from Made-in-Japan SONY lines.

Sony Wide Angle Lens

Review Date: January 23, 2010

Reviewer: Ronald W. Mims,

Before purchasing this lens, I read several reviews. Having owned (6) Sony digital cameras over the years, the compatibility seemed acceptable. The only issue may be the shadow seen with some flash shots. For my use, this is not an issue. Very good quality product.
