Sony VCL0637H Wide Angle Lens for CCDTRV118/318, DCRTRV250/350/950

Rating:
Summary: Great inexpensive wide-angle lens
Review: It is designed to be used for 37mm camcorders, but I bought mine for use with a digital camera (a Sony DSC-P50). It does the job very nicely. Note that the lens is large when mounted on a DSC-P50, and it will block the flash in the lower left of your frame. However, I found that if I was using the flash outdoors as fill-light, then the shadowing was negligible. This lens is a wide angle, but not quite a fish-eye. I enjoy the slight distortion it lends to my images (eg. curved horizons etc.). At any rate, this lens is very inexpensive, and if you're wanting to experiment it will do the trick.
