Wide Angle Lens Does The Job.

I Needed A Wide Angle Lens For My Sony FDR-AX33 And This Fits Perfectly. I Was Bummed About How Close Everything Looked When I Tried Doing Vlogs. This Helps So Much!

Good, and bad

I wish, I could give it multiple reviews at the same time. What I mean is that it is great wide angle lens if you are going to shoot something that is standing still. However, if you are going to video tape something like a soccer game like I did. It does not do well with action shots. I had streaking of colors in the video. It was choppy. I took it off to videotape another game and it was fine. So it was wide angle lens. I give it a 4 for being great at just being a wide angle lens. 2 for being terrible at action videos. So in the middle with a three.

will it fit a canon vixia hf r800 camcorder?
Asked by: natasya
As the Canon VIXIA HF R800 Camcorder uses 43mm filter threads and the Vivitar 52mm 0.43x Wide Angle Attachment Lens uses 52mm filter threads, the items cannot be directly connected to one another. You would need to purchase the Sensei PRO 43-52mm Aluminum Step-Up Ring, B&H # SESURPA4352, to connect the Vivitar 52mm 0.43x Wide Angle Attachment Lens to the Canon VIXIA HF R800 Camcorder. Otherwise, you may purchase a wide angle adapter designed specifically for the 43mm filter thread, such as the Pearstone DVP-WA07-43 0.7x Wide Angle Lens Attachment, B&H # PEDVPWA0743. It is not as wide as the previous Vivitar wide angle adapter, but it would not require the use of a step-up ring for attachment to your camcorder.

Can this lens fit on a Mamiya C330?
Asked by: Isis
The 55mm, 80mm and 135mm lenses for the Mamiya C330 have a 46mm filter thread. So by using the Sensei 46-52mm Aluminum Step-Up Ring you could attach the Vivitar 52mm 0.43x Wide Angle Attachment Lens. Here is the link: https://bhpho.to/347Fgkw
