I’ve uploaded this short test due to the lack of videos showing the difference between using standard HV-30 or a HV-30 equipped with wide angle lens when shooting indoor. 99,9999% / all videos are tests of outdoor shooting. But at least me myself uses the camera ’bout 50% indoor / 50% outdoor. So just a bunch of outdoor tests won’t tell how big the difference really are when using the wide angle lens indoor. camera settings are all automatic. The lens is named Digital Vision…. 0.45. From PDS International. It comes with 15 years guarantee. I bought it in Orlando, FL for 0 with the 72mm UV-filter. They showed me live when throwing the lens right up in the air about 4-5 metres and it hit the floor in the store. Not a scratch, no damage at all. This lens really handle rough usage. Im no professional, but compared to my earlier “Digital High definition 0.45 wide angle lens” from “Japan Optics” i can really se big big big difference! The old one was 0 with battery included. The old one also shows that the experts in camera stores not talking bullshit that there is difference in lenses especially when it comes to high definition. If the old one could be classified as High Definition, my new one must be huge definition… The old lens blurring the picture. The camera cannot focus in all zoom levels with the old lens. When doing fast movements with the old lens, it doesnt manage to focus at all when stop moving. Then i have to zoom in and out to make the camera focus …

what wide angle lens is that? and are you using a uv filter after the wide angle or before?
I need to check it out what brand it is… bought it on vacation in the US for bout halv year ago… Im using UV after the wide angle to protect it from dust and scratches. uses camera->wide->polarizing->UV.
polar only outside when sunny. Will soon upload testvideo with polar-filter…

Thank You very much. I am new to wide angle photography and wanted to find the best lens for my camera….Your movie and movie info. is very much appreciated!!

AWESOME. How much is this now?
When using that lens, can you still use manual focus for the DOF of the camera?
@JuliusRoden Yes, works.
@james07jamesjames Its the DM-50 mic. Wind filter included but can as well be ordered as spare part.
@KALSoundProductions Sounds great!
@An0nym0uscot It really gives the camera new life. Once gone Wide you never goes back
I always do dof stuff in post-production it’s just more flexible that way. even with the pull focus wheel i have on the thing i would say it’s easier and you have more editorial choices too. I understand why people buy them dof adapters but it’s just too much money for little usage in my case. Great video by the way.
Thank you =D… and I bought a Crystal Vision 0.5xAF wide Angle lens just recently, it is very good!
