I purchased the HD-7000 Pro as a Wide Angle ADAPTER (not a primary lens for a SLR) lens to my Canon S5 IS camera, augmenting the built in lens. So far, after a couple months of use, the pictures have been clear and crisp, with no more distortion than can be expected with any wide angle lens, or adapter. In-fact, I also own a Raynox DCR-730 and there is less edge distortion on the HD-7000 Pro optics. For the Canon S5, I have semi-permanently mounted the HD-7000 Pro to a metal 58mm adapter mount, for rapid lens change.
The lens has 58mm threads on the camera mount side and 82mm female threads for filters. Being of the old school of protecting the lens, a Hoya 82mm UV filter is semi-permanently mounted to the front end. The lens ships with a slide-on lens cap and a mounting thread slide-on cap for protection. It also ships with a ‘mildly’ protective cloth pouch with a draw string. The pouch is large enough to contain the lens and the metal 58mm adapter mount. A couple notes for prospective buyers, it is as large if not larger than a telephoto conversion lens (especially the Sony VCL-DH1758) and fills the camera bag rapidly, but well worth carrying. And, for built-in flash users; it is so huge, only about a fifth of your flash will get to the subject.
Personally and in my opinion, the lens is great – used as intended – as an adapter lens. It is well built but still requires care in handling. It is a lens, not a super-ball; not built for bouncing off of concrete.
