      I have recently taken up shooting video and until
      I started using this wide angle lens my camera work left alot to be desired. Now my shots are smooth and clean. I love this lens. I recommend it highly.

        We are using this new lens to film a motorcycle drill team go through its program. We needed the larger lens to capture the whole team. This lens is just what we needed.

          Comments about Sony VCL-HG0730A 30mm 0.7x High Grade Wide Angle Lens:

          I have owned a number of camcorders over the years. I use them quite a bit when traveling. I find that using a wide angle lens such as this one provides a very satisfying viewing experience for landscape videography. The lens also comes in very handy when just shooting indoor video of family events, because it allows you to include a much larger section of a room in each shot. Once I began shooting video with a wide angle lens, I find that I seldom want to be without one anymore.
          This particular lens is sharp and allows you full zoom-through capability.

          I seldom see these lenses on other people's camcorders...they don't know what they're missing!
