Review Summary

This lens has worked well for the past two years on my SD Cannon camcorder. I've captured some great tornadoes using this wide angle lens. Zooming through the lens produces very very blurry edges quickly. I purchased a HD cannon and used this lens on it with very poor results. The outside edges are extremely blurry to the point I need to replace it. In all, great for SD and inexpensive.

Kenko SGW-05 PRO wide-angle video conversion lens is designed for compact digital/video cameras that have a higher resolution recording ability such as DV formats, and for Digital Still Cameras. The KGW-05 Pro widens the angle of view by multiplying the focal lengthof the video camera by 0.5 times. This doubles the angle of view making it an excellent lens for groups or wedding shots. This view can also improve the composition of many interior and wide scenic shots.
This PRO series lens features multicoated optical glass lens elements. The reduces the possibility of flare and ghosting caused by light reflecting off the surfaces of the elements and reflecting back into the camera. The inner barrels have a matte-black finish to further reduce the chance of any internal reflections. All barrels and filter threads are made of molded and precision-milled aluminum for long life and lightweight.
