Conclusion: Review of Sony VCL-HG2030 Telephoto Conversion Lens
Review:Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RXP87I7U8NXB9 I like the Sony VCL-HG2030 telephoto conversion lens. There is just one issue I don't like and that is an annoying "ring" around the picture field in wide angle. See my video review. Evaluation:
Conclusion: Sony telephoto conversion lens
Review: I got this for my Sony DCR-DVD505. It works well, but you have to be careful not to pull in too close or you get a dark ring around the video where you see the inside of the lens frame. Overall, it is a good product and made very well. Evaluation:
Conclusion: Nice little performer (just think about a tripod)
Review: I used this 2x lens for the first time on my Sony DCR-PC350 - a good quality DV camcorder with a fairly good lens Carl Zeiss lens.
The lens comes with a keep-safe pouch and two lens caps. The front one comes with a hook to attach a securing lead to - but no securing lead. It screws on and off easily - no major likelihood of cross-threading.
I keep the camcorder set to max out at the optical zoom limit - not using digital zoom. At minimum zoom you get small dark edges to the picture, but no real problem since normally you'd attach the lens for a max zoom!
The lens adds a bit of weight to the palmcorder and of course the anti-shake is pushed to its limits. I'd recommend a monopod or a tripod if you're looking to use on extended distances.
I used it for videoing my partner in a rowing race - they start over half a mile away and it still filled a quarter to a third of the frame, so it did a great job there.
The camera had some difficulty auto-focussing in low light, but switching to manual solved that - and that's more the camera issue than the lens.
For playback the quality was pretty good (the camera shakes aside) - some slight loss in quality at maximum distance - but that's playing it on a high-definition TV. On standard definition, or having recorded to a normal DVD I don't think you'll see any drop in quality.
Very pleased with the performance - it's a fairly high price in comparison to some of the OEM products you can find - but the good results make up for it. Evaluation:
Conclusion: What I needed.
Review: As advertised brings things in closer as all telephoto lens do. Only wish it would fit into my underwater equipment I have for my video camera.
