FOCUSING PROBLEMS? [Posted on 2005-12-06]
I have used this lens on a Sony W-7 and have found the centers of the photos to be sharp and the edges of the photos to be out of focus. It might be a good lens but not for the W-7? I use all the Sony lenses on this same camera without any problems.
Works for me! [Posted on 2006-03-05]
I use this wide-angle lens with a Sony Mavica MVC-CD200. It greatly expands the field of vision with a minimal amount of distortion. (Straight lines near the edge of the image are slightly bowed. This isn't noticeable when imaging landscapes or large groups of people.) Focus stays sharp throughout the range of the zoom lens. I use this camera to document my work as an electrical contractor and the expanded field of vision makes it much easier to photograph an entire kitchen or the interior of a small bathroom. This product would be very helpful to realtors & the like. I've found it works just as well as the larger and much more expensive Sony wide angle lens. You cannot zoom with the Sony lens, and you must make sure you put the camera in macro mode or your pictures will be severely out of focus. The lens is 3" in diameter and partially blocks the pop-up flash on my Mavica. This would be a problem with any wide angle lens and can be resolved by using an optional flash. I highly recommend this product.
Great Lens [Posted on 2006-04-05]
So far I have really enjoyed this lens. Great wide views. There is only 1 problem. I use this with a Canon A95 digital camera. I need a adapter to use lenses on the camera, I have this. If I use that wide angle lense right on the end of the adapter I get good images but the outside edges are out of focus. If using the same setup, you can purchase an extender ring that brings everything into focus. This might and probably will be different with different cameras.
The only other thing is that this lens is wide enough that it blocks the view finder and the flash on my camera setup. I dont use the flash and viewfinder so this is not a problem but I thought I would add it here for your info.
Great lens - enjoy.
