jose 0 #1 June 1, 2003 I am looking to get a new wide angle lens. I currently have a 0.45x Kenko, which is cheap at around 50 bucks. I have been told that the optics are poor with this lens, softening the image and not giving accurate color replication. There is also alot of barrel effect with this lens. I am interested in a lens of the same angle or slightly less, maybe the 0.42x, that is of quality contruction. Of course, cost is an issue, so if there is a lens out there that comes just shy of a 300 dollar lens, but only costs 150, I'll take it. But if there is no relpacement for a quality lens, let me know. Thanks for your replies Brad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rredman 0 #3 June 2, 2003 I assume you are talking about a video lens. I have a Diamond .3 and it is fabulous ($175 US). It is very wide, so you have to stay close, but the clarity and colour are amazing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KawiZX900 0 #5 June 2, 2003 look into Century Precision glass. it'll run you the tune of 250-450 though Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds.
