Sony Wide Conversion Lens For Professional Use

x0.8

Model VCL HG0862K

Complete with lens covers and lens hood (**see notes below about this**)

Made in Japan



BASIC SPECIFICATIONS:

Wide-angle footage with a focal length of 29.9mm (35mm equivalent).

Bayonet joint makes it easy and quick to mount and remove this lens from the DV Cam (we had a V1U)

The build quality on this lens is very good to excellent. The hood integrates nicely with the camera, based on its original hood. It has the same features, including the shutter that protects the lens. Mounting is quick and easy, and removal is almost too easy, as only a button push releases the lens to turn on the bayonet thread to remove it from the camera.

This conversion lens is suitable only for use with the Sony V1 series of DV CAM's e.g V1E, V1P, V1U

Performance of the lens is about as expected for an 0.8X. The area of view increases by about 40-50%, with a 20% increase in angle of view.

You can switch field angle almost instantly

The VCL-HG0862K (professional model) is supplied with a lens hood, remove the lens hood and you can attach a standard 86mm filter, so you are free to apply filters to your wide-angle shots.

Lens is in excellent condition, no scratches, no mildew etc

** Lens Hood has a faulty half shutter - when you close the shutters, most of the time only one half closes, the other half sticks but can still be made to close with a bit of "nudging"

Purchased in 2009 (Videocraft Melbourne)

Original lens cost (2009) was A$700
