Hi James,

I own the lens in question. Here's a test I shot with it on the VG10.

The wide angle on the video below is it mounted on a VG20...

Great lens as long as you always keep your subject in the centre of the frame. The focal plane is still uneven enough when the lens is stopped down to be obvious in finished footage.
