i love the Kenko 0.5X Wide Angle Lens! i needed a cheap lens in a hurry (a lens that also wasn’t a complete piece of garbage) and the Kenko lens came thru for me.
i use the lens on a pv-gs120 camcorder (3ccd mini dv) and it’s the perfect wide angle lens for that format. i’m not going to say it’s the lens for you if you’re all about the hd… but for a short video project (which was made specifically for mini dv) this was the wide angle lens solution for us. it worked great! you get MUCH more in the frame.
CONCLUSION: if you need a good wide angle lens on the cheap… this one works. it’s not junk. and it’s great for mini dv stuff or other non-HD camcorders!
Help answer the question about Kenko Lens
UV filters-Tiffen or Kenko?
Are either of these filters "good Glass?" I asked about this a couple of days ago, so I went back and found a couple of supposedly better filters. Here are the items I am consideringKenko Kenko Lens MC UV Tiffen UVTiffen UV-1TIffen SkylightThe Tiffens are from Adorama and the Kenko is from a Honk Kong company. Prices vary $7.00 for the Skylight to $13.00 for the Kenko. Are any of these "good enough glass" for a basic Nikon D40 w/ kit lens 18-55mm? Its all I can afford at the moment, but I really want to protect the lens face. Thanks again for guiding a novice out of his ignorance!
