Product Description:
Since it fits right over your camcorder's existing lens system, a wide-angle and telephoto converter affects the full zoom range of your camcorder's lens. A wide-angle converter increases your angle of view - scenes include more of the landscape, groups include more people, and interiors show more of the room. A .5x wide-angle converter DOUBLES your angle of view, allowing you to get twice as much in the picture (AND your telephoto setting also becomes wider; not zooming in as close). A 2x converter will double your camcorder's maximum focal length, bringing things twice as close. An Opteka conversion lens can actually improve the image that your digital camera receives, and it's about the only accessory that can. By eliminating flare and ghosting, the ugly cousins of reflection and refraction, before they get to your camcorder's original lens system, your camcorder/camera gets a much cleaner image to digitize. Plus, an Opteka converter allows you to use a more optimal part of your original lens system, resulting in more crisp imagery. Nothing changes the way you see the world like High Definition², and no company does High Definition² like Opteka. In the professional setting, Opteka's glass optics define High Definition. Change the way you view the world. Enjoy outstanding detail, enjoy enhanced clarity, enjoy Opteka. With an Opteka 5 piece Lens/Camera cleaning kit it contains everything you need to maintain your Digital Camera or Camcorder! It cleans hard to reach lenses, protects battery contacts, and is very easy and safe to use. Works excellent for lenses, cameras, filters, and it also easily cleans LCD panels. The lens cleaning solution is specially made for removing oil and dirt. The Opteka table top tripod is ideal for backyard observation or anywhere - an ultra-compact tripod is all you need! Opteka lenses are covered by a lifetime warranty.

Rating : - Excellent tool for expanding your camcorder's capabilities
I have an HF-100 camcorder. The camcorder's built in lens zooms to 12x and the Opteka lens extends this to 24x, in HD! This really makes the camcorder handy when taping events, such as games or speeches, when you cannot get as close to the action as you would like. It is also great if you record any wildlife as you can get shots without disturbing your subjects.

The wide angle is also handy for when you are taping a larger group of people, such as people line dancing at a party. I can't wait to unleash my camera and this lens at my next family outing. The lenses are light and putting them on is a snap. They also easily fit into my camcorder bag. The price is great for what these lenses add to your camcorder.
