Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony VCL-DH0758 Wide Angle Conversion Lens for DSCH1, H2 and H5 Digital Cameras
Customer Review: not good
Summary: 2 Stars
I have a DSC-H1. I've tested this lens extensively. It adds more than a 33% to your field of view, but that added stuff is warped and blurry. I am unable to get a shot that is clear enough to be proud of. It exaggerates the H1's natural tendency for purple fringes. I used a tripod and took two pictures of the same scene, both on timer. This is an actual image (black rectangle) set inside one taken with the adapter on. Notice how warped and color-distorted edges are.

I would say save your money, but I use this lens occasionally.

Customer Review: DO NOT BUY!!!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I've utilized numerous Sony products over the years and have always been pleased with the design and delivery.
This would not be one of those times.
The DSC-H5 camera is basically incompatible with this lens. I say this as it casts a LARGE shadow on any flash pic on any setting. In essence you can't use your lens for indoor flash or flash photography in general.
This lens should not be sold and Sony should be ashamed. This is how you ruin a brand name.
DO NOT BUY!
And yes - I read other reviews, but they don't come close to describing how enormous the grapefruit shadow is. Renders the photo unusuable.
Again --
DO NOT
Customer Review: Sony wide angle lens
Summary: 1 Stars
This was the biggest farce I have purchased from a Sony product. The lens is so big it makes handeling the camera horrible and the width of the viewed image is not that much better than the original lens. Big mistake.
