Comments about 16x9 Inc. 169-HDSF45X-HPX EXII Fisheye Converter Lens:
I purchase the HMC 150 and was looking for a some what affordable fisheye lens. This lens is a little wider than the Century optics fisheye. For those of you that cant afford the OHD-FEWA-AG Xtreme Fisheye this is the lens to get. End of story.

I love how easy it is to get on and off the camera. And the barrel distortion you get for the price is outstanding. There's not a better lens in this price range.

Comments about 16x9 Inc. 169-HDSF45X-HPX EXII Fisheye Converter Lens:
I bought the 45x fisheye converter lens for 16x9 a few weeks ago, and I already think I've got value for my money. It's very useable, because it hasn't got the rounded corners, but still has an inpressive angle. I use mine with a Panasonic HPX171, which already has a nice wide angle. I appreciate the fact I don't have to screw it on, it has a click on mount that fits my camera lens perfectly.
I have used the fisheye converter both for a music video and for a skate movie. It adds something extra to both. Of course, there is quite a bit of line distortion, but I would still consider using it for regular filming indoors in small spaces.
You can zoom in about halfway before everything goes out of focus. The edges are a bit blurry in full wide angle.
