Average rating: Stars

Pricey, but good

I purchased one of these for my Sony DSC-W5. It is a well made, weighty piece, which matches the finish fo the VAD-WA adapter well. My wide angle photos came out pretty well, with good detail and a tolerably small amount of barrel distortion.

Decent wide angle

I disagree with the previous review. I bought, tried and shipped back two other wide-angle lenses for a Sony P150, both with smaller ratio (0.6x and 0.45x). The problem was that they distorted the image way too much, and had unacceptable vignetting and chromatic aberrations. The Sony 0.7x lens might not be as wide as we would wish sometimes (is there a lens in the world that's wide enough to capture it all anyhow?!) but at least it gives decent results.

Lost money

I bought this item on november 2004 to use with my excellent new DSC P100. My expectation was take good shots wtih wide angle, I don't have previus experience with how much mean 0.7X in terms of reduction of scenary angle. With the first photos, I really felt disapointing because the "wide angle" is not enough, actually the difference between the scenary angle with the lens and without it, is pretty low.

Now I'm searching for lens with bigger reduction, maybe 0.45X
