 "Does the job, but sharp in center only, falls off quickly thereafter." 2010-01-16
By Steve Wohl (Chicago, IL United States)
This is a well made smallish wide angle attachment lens for the camera mentioned. I use it with a Canon sd700is. I also purchased the correct mount for it, but it does not fit my camera, forcing me to hand hold it in front of my camera lens. I did a number of controlled tests with the lens. The most controlled one was with the camera on a tripod so I could be sure I was holding it on the center axis of the camera lens.



I sorry to report the results were a great disappointment, considering the exorbitant cost to the lens. I shot a tall sculpture outdoors from various angles and the facade of a building from the fourth floor of a building across the street so the camera back was parallel to the facade. The shots of the building revealed the dismal sharpness surrounding the center. The area all around the frame was quite soft. Since I was using a point and shot and had no control over the aperture, I can not report if things are improved a smaller apertures.



I can report though that the lens does give a much wider angle of coverage with out any vignetting. Other attachments like this that I have do vignette, and that was the motivation to make the purchase.



Conclusion: If you can live with its short comings, perhaps this will help you create more dynamic images and capture interiors and landscapes. Just be aware, they WILL be soft!



I did not return my lens, but if you decide to, you had best be sure you do not get hit with a restocking fee. These can easily be 15 to 20 percent of the cost of the item, and you have to pay for the insure and postage.
