My HC3 badly needs a wide angle lens.I wasn't sure if I'd want to spend for Sony's HD wide angle lens.This lens was cheap enough to take the risk.First, 47th St did include a step up adapter ring even though it's not mentioned in the description.
The lens is pretty bulky (in length), but this is a first lens attachment I've ever purchased (after using HC3 for 10 months w/o any lens).Viginetting (barrel affect) is quite apparent.The optic is too small for the "still" photo setup because it's actually black on the corners.Video recording is OK.Videtaping my kids indoor soccer game, and you can see the lens "bend" straight lines on the floor.For the HC3 indoor recording, a wide angle lens is required and this is a decent lens until you can afford the Sony HD one.
