Exposed!.......2004-07-17
Well, over-exposed actually. This lense is a shocking waste of money. Attach it to your camera and you will instantly turn your still and moving images into over-exposed and, with the exception of a small spot in the centre, out of focus mush. Why on earth Sony put this on the market to completely ruin their cameras is beyond me.

sony lense wide coversion (0.7) .......2007-10-08
Got this wide lense and can not see how to fit a filer to it as it has no threads on the front .And i can not fit one between the adaptor and the lense as it is stepped in .it does not make it clear that you can not use a filter with this lense .i would automatically fit a skylight filter normally to protect such a big chunk of glass normally .
Quality Product but not perfect........2007-05-08
I was amazed at the size of this "chunk of glass". However, as with all SONY products the `build quality` was faultless. I bought this for my H5 and it works perfectly and I can`t fault the image quality. Fitting this lens does unbalance the basic camera making it nose heavy, which is to be expected really.
If you iintend to interpose any filter between this lens and camera then be aware that vignetting may occur. I would suggest you get a ND (neutral density or skylight filter) and fit it to the front of the lens to protect, what is a very large (and easily damaged, as optical is inherantly `soft`), lens element. Not perfect but still a quality product all in all which should give years of good service. - Recomended.

Take a step back.......2004-03-12
Taking a step back isn't always possible (or safe for that matter, if you near the edge of a cliff). But this little beauty it opens up a whole new world. With its optics designed to give you 30% extra field view in every photo, it is now possible to get everyone in that group shot, near the edge of that cliff.
So why only 4 stars? Couple of reasons. First one being the lense adapter for the camera. It seems like Sony designed the camera then thought - oh wouldn't it be good if....Tacky after thought, works perfectly well, but a tacky after though all the same. Second reason - it blocks off the built it flash slightly. You get a slight shadow in the bottom left of the photo.
Should both these reasons but you off. I would say not. As long as you aware of the issues, they are easily over come i.e if in a dark situation try to get as much light in the left hand side of the photo etc.
I would say that it is definitely worth the money, and could one day save your life, in that group shot near the edge of a cliff.....

Broaden your view.......2003-07-25
Even though the DSC-V1 camera has a rather wide normal lens, this add-on conversion lens makes it a completely new camera. With it on, there is no longer need to move far away to get everyone in the frame. Or, one can take pictures of narrow fjords while still being between the mountains, instead of waiting untill they're far behind.
The lens has low distortion; no fish-eye, but gives a good, broad view.
To connect it to the DSC-V1, a lens adaptor ring is included in the package. The camera lens has to be at full wide angle to put this on, and the zoom can not be used when it's attached.
The DSC-V1 is not a small camera, and with the wide conversion lens attached, it is even bigger. But it is like having a completely different camera; giving super pictures of people around a table without getting up yourself.
