An Excellent Wide-Angle Lens [Posted on 2008-06-20]
I bought this lens back in April 08 for my XHA1 & and I've used it extensively on shoots. Most of the events I shoot are in confined or limited space environments. Which means I don't always have the luxury of being able to stand back to get the shot.
This is where the WD-H72 come into play. The extra few degrees latitude means the difference between getting or missing that awkward shot.
It's not as wide as some other third-party lens, but you can use full-zoom & get a compatible lens hood. My only complaint is the weight, as soon as you mount this lens the camera feels front-heavy.
To summarise, what you get for your money is a lens that doesn't degrade or compromise HD image clarity, compliments the XHA1 and works as advertised. Buy if you want use full-zoom, don't mind the extra weight & don't need to shoot ultra-wide-angle video.
I would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for the weight.
Highly recommended.
