Although it's called a 16x9 hood Roger, I actually think it's 4:3 in aspect ratio. Can you confirm or deny this please?

just had an online chat with one of the JVC sales rep he told me that the expected date from JVC wide angle lens came and passed, and they didn't receive anything yet. I placed an order on 7/27. Just wanted to give anyone intrested the heads up.

I was able to buy the JVC wide angle lens along with the HM 100 in Hong Kong a week ago, I guess HK hasn't run out yet.

The JVC wide angle lens just got back in stock at B&H. Anyone know of any filters or any type of protection for this lens?

You are joking about filters? As it was said (even in this thread) there is nothing to attach filters to on a converter! No sun hood either. This converter is just the same as from GZ7 consumer model from a couple of years ago.

Best way to use it? Unfiltered, fitted straight onto the camera's zoom, using an aspect ratio shadowed lens hood. tom. |

Nikon WC-E68 .7x Lens Convertor - Barrel Distortion?
I'm about to buy the Nikon Lens Convertor and I wanted to know if there is any barrel distortion from it. I'll be using the lens for real estate shoots and am trying to avoid " bent " walls.

You don't say what camera you're going to use the Nikon lens on, or whether it's a zoom through or not. I'll take an educated guess and say yes, you'll have barrel distortion all right, simply because most camcorder zooms barrel distort right out of the box.

Even with the JVC WA lens, there is definitely distortion, hello bent walls!

In case you're wondering, the lens hood is one I made using the hood from a Canon XH series camera, mated to a Cavision hood mount, adapted. Works great with the wide angle adapter, but hey, had to make it myself - what does that say about JVC? |

Roger, how's that 16x9 WA adapter in terms of interior dust? If you hold up to a bright light source and look through either end, any specs inside? Much? None? Appreciate it, Cotty. |

I'm not Roger, but I can answer that question: speckless.
