Essential Add-On for Vixia HF10/100July 17, 2008 7 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is one of those add-ons that make you wonder how you managed without it. First and foremost, it adds *significant* coverage for landscape or group shots (and when isn't covering the scene important, anyway?) and still leaves a generous zoom of 8.4x. This isn't even a trade-off in my book. Another non-issue (for me) is the fact that it blocks the on-board light, which makes the scene look terrible (casts a harsh blue fringe) & should only be used in emergencies. Plenty of manual controls abound for control of low-light scenes, but that's for another review...
As a somewhat superficial "plus," it looks fantastic on the HF100. The lens is also substantial and completely integrates with the solid feel (and look) of the HF100. It does change the weight distribution of the camera to a noticeable extent, almost shifting it into a mid-size unit in terms of grip, feel and storage (for which Canon supplies a nicely done soft pouch that ties at the top).
The only potential negative is that it blocks the flash (unless you find the pronounced shadow/arc useful for artsy shots!) but I haven't yet found many shots that couldn't be dealt with using less extreme measures. This is a great purchase!
Very useful for HF10June 18, 2008 9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I purchased this along with my HF10 after reading reviews of the rather limited field of view of current HD video cameras. I am very happy with the purchase as this lense stays on the camera. I shoot mostly indoor video of the kids and this really helps. As for lense quality, I've heard good things about it but don't have anything to compare it to. There are probably other cheaper options out there but I didn't want to purchase an inferior product that limits what I want to record: HD video.
The only negative that has more to do with the camera itself is that this lense blocks the built-in light (for night time use). An easy workaround is to get a secondary light to mount on the camera.
This was a very good purchase for what I use the camera for and I would buy it again if I were in the market.
Works really well.May 15, 2008 6 out of 14 found this review helpful
I'm very happy with this wide-angle adapter. Not much to say. It's just a great little add on for my our Vixia HF100.
