 makes HV20 footage look even more amazing Jan 18, 2008
By gonzoriffic
Amateur filmmakers who've puchased the Canon HV20 should seriously look into getting this lens as an accessory: once you start shooting with it you'll never want to take it off! Unlike cheaper wide-angle lenses, the WD-H43 doesn't cause blurry edges. Some complain you can't attach a lens hood to the WD-H43, which shows how little they know about their HV20 (its built-in CMOS sensor is designed to eliminate the need for a lens hood). Several reviews complain about the weight of the lens - I for one am happy about the added pounds as the HV20 is frighteningly light otherwise. I've found my shots are not only more cinematic-looking with the WD-H43 lens but the additional weight makes for smoother footage & handling. You feel like you've got a 'real' movie camera, it's very cool.

Heavy . . . but nice results Aug 15, 2007
By S. P. Jacobs
"TechnoFiend"
It is a bit larger and heavier than other wide angle converters I have used. On the other hand, the results are better than other converters I have used. For me, the added bulk is a fair trade off.

The one accessory you need Oct 06, 2007
By K. Ray
On my old video camera I had the wide angle lens, telephoto lens, and an external microphone. The one accessory I used the most was the wide angle lens. So I had to get one. The WD-H43 fits perfectly on the camera as it should since it is made by Canon. It looks great on the camera, but I was surprised at how heavy is was. It makes the camera a little front heavy. I bought a neck strap for it because it is just too heavy with this adapter to be trusted without one.

Great lens for medium wide angle Jun 12, 2008
By LF Photographer
Optically this is a great lens. Working with this lens on the camera made the camera much more usable for me. I was not particularly happy with the relatively narrow field of view of the zoom lens that is built into the camera.
This lens is as heavy as the camera itself, but the camera and lens together still seem to balance well in my hand.
Coming from the still photography world, I think that it's a bit misleading to refer to this as a wide angle lens. It feels about the same as 35 mm lens on a 35 mm camera. Even with that somewhat negative comment, I would recommend this lens to anyone using the HV20 or HV30.

Best converter lens I've ever used. Apr 17, 2008
By Marco
This wide angle converter lens is awesome. The build quality is first class, and the images are superb. Crystal clear shots and a lot more of the world fits into each shot as well. I bought this for my HG10 camcorder and it works beautifully with it. It would have to be the best screw mount I've used - the lens screws onto the front of the camcorder's lens like the mount was made of silk.
Having said that, other reviewers weren't kidding about the weight of this lens; it weighs a ton! After all, quality this high comes at some expense, both in price and weight. Screwing it onto the front of the HG10 makes it even more top-heavy than the HV20 would be, as the HG10 is a lighter camcorder. I find, however, that if I use my free hand to support the lens, I get steadier shots with the added weight. One hand supports the camcorder body and one hand supports the lens. No problem with that, is there?
If you feel your HG10 isn't giving you wide enough shots - especially if you shoot landscapes and architecture - then this converter lens will be a God-send. The huge price tag is definitely worth paying.
