 High quality glass April 23, 2008

Like the previous high-grade 30mm wide-angle lens from Sony for it's 30mm camcorders, this 37mm model is very high quality. Yes, it's a little delicate, so you'll need to take care when installing it and removing it. It works best if you hold (or mount the camcorder on a tripod) vertically in order to thread the lens onto the camera, but you shouldn't avoid this lens just because P. White is clumsy. If you have a thumb, you should be fine. Also, you should realize that this is a wide-angle lens, and will give you a larger field of view, not get you closer to your kid's soccer game like Bob Fox thought. There is very little distortion at the corners of the image, as is common with most wide angle lenses. Good glass makes a good lens, and Sony did a fine job with this one.
 Works Like it should. May 15, 2007

I have an HDR-HC1. This wide angle lens is compact and screws on very nicely. It works. There. I said it.

This lens works perfect. Finally I can get the whole group in the frame! The craftsmanship is top quality. It secures to the camera just fine. If you are investing in a high definition camera why would you pair it with anything but the best wide angle lens you can get for it? Don't risk compromising the capabilities of your HD camera.
 A nasty, badly designed product ... March 27, 2008

I bought this lens to accompany my new HDR-SR12E camcorder. The lens costs $142 (a lot more in the UK) and the camcorder (from Amazon) $1400. The lens screws into the very fine pitch filter mount on the end of the existing lens. The thread is extremely delicate and barely adequate for small and light filters. It is grossy INADEQUATE for a heavy and bulky lens assembly. The lens is held on by two vertical rotations of thread. That's ridiculous. I only got the camcorder yesterday and I fitted the lens indoors as a test last night. That time it screwed on after little fuss but I had no light with which to test it. Today I took the camcorder and the lens outside at lunchtime. A typical camcorder case will not accommodate the camcorder with the lens attached so I had to mount it in the street. It refused to locate into the threads and with only a few seconds of trying I'd managed to scratch the end of my camcorder with the lens mount and strip the black enamel paint from the camcorder's filter thread!!! Then disaster, I was so busy trying to protect the camcorder that I lost my grip on the cone shaped (and smooth!) lens and it fell to the ground. The impact crushed the tiny threads and made my $142 lens junk there and then. I didn't get a single frame of video out of it and I'm furiously angry with SONY for creating such a piece of junk. There's no way a large piece of heavy glass should ever be attached to a camcorder by a tiny filter thread with a pitch so fine that it's near impossible to engage the lens into the threads without stripping them. This is a truly appalling design and I urge you not to risk it.
 Pretty much what you'd expect April 1, 2008

I have a Sony HDR-HC7 and really needed a wider angle of view. Really I wish that camcorder designers would make their standard lenses wider, but that is not the point. This adapter is just what you'd expect. You screw it on and get a wider view. My only complaint is that it really doesn't go as wide as I would have liked. Be warned, it is a bit heavy cumbersome.
