Evaluation:

Conclusion: For Just The Right Shot

Review: The only thing that I was disappointed with, is that 1.7x really isn't that much of an enhancement. I should have done the math. If you are standing 100 feet away from something, a 1.7 zoom factor will make it seem as if you are standing about 60 feet away (58.82 feet to be more precise). That's only about 40 feet closer.

I was expecting a psychological "Wow" instead of an "Oh... OK.". But that's no fault of the lens. This lens is high quality. It comes with a heavy cloth pouch, end caps, and a large rubber lens hood. The hood looks cheap, but it does the job - so I'm not complaining. It keeps stray light off the lens, and because it is relatively large, I imagine that it also will keep the lens dry in a light drizzle. That's always a plus.

I've heard people complain about vignetting (darkness near the outer edges) when fully zoomed out. There is just a tinge of vignetting in the corners on my HDR-HC7. It is barely noticeable - so I'm quite pleased because although I was prepared and willing to put up with vignetting, I was happy to discover it to be minimal.

Because this lens will not bring me significantly closer to my subject, I will probably not use it as often as I had imagined. But I'm glad to have it in my gadget bag because I know that sometimes, it will be just what I need.

Conclusion: Quality!

Review: The photo and video quality of the HDR-SR11 are phenominal to begin with, adding this lens only improves your veiw.

Conclusion: Sony VCLHG0737C High Grade WideConversion Lens

Review: This conversion lens is a must for anyone shooting indoors or on a sightseeing tour. There is no detectable deterioration in picture quality, the pictures are crisp and the colors are excellent. You will probably not take it off at all except when you need to mount the sister TeleConversion lens VCLHG1737C. I've tried a number of other converters but none of them matches this one by Sony.

Conclusion: eg

Review: Used this TeloConversion lens this year for deer season and was extremely please with its performance. At 500plus yards I could bring the deer in close enough to tell his horn size. Got some really great videos!
