This is an excellent and incredibly compact wide angle lens for Sony Camcorders. It's so quick to attach and super easy to use; I just leave the black adapter ring on the camcorder all the time and then clip on the lens when required. It comes with a velcro attachable semi-hard case to protect the lens when not in use which I have attached to the camcorder case. I was a bit surprised there is no lens cap but for overall compact size of the lens and case, I can live without one!
For me this lens means I can film focus groups and interviews for work without hiring equipment as the extra width in the frame is ideal for this purpose - the standard lens is just too narrow in many of these situations.
I also bought the normal wide angle lens but returned that one as it was so bulky and I wouldn't need to be able to zoom in with a wide angle lens attached anyway.
Which reminds me - there is another review of this lens which was given two stars only, as the reviewer complained about fuzzy pictures - the product information does say that it can only be used in the fully zoomed out position as the compactness of the lens is designed that way and wouldn't technically be able to focus if you zoom in as it's just one flat lens...
Anyway, if you need to widen the angle of your Sony Camcorder and don't need to zoom in, then buy this lens. It's a bargain price too!

Attaching this converter to the HandyCam seems to really mess up the long distance focussing. Landscapes become very fuzzy, though close-ups aren't too bad.
It's a shame because the compact size makes it perfect for slipping into your pocket, and it clips on and off the camera very easily. But poor quality optical performance really make it unusable.
