Chrisky 0 #26 July 14, 2004 Is anyuone able to provide a comparison between the royal lens 0.3 and the way cool redeye 0.3? I have a video using a royal lens, and it has extreme chromatic distortion in the outer areas. Does that occur with the redeye too? (I realize that due to laws of optics, a certain amount of distortion has to appear, but i'm curious as to whether the extent differs).The mind is like a parachute - it only works once it's open. From the edge you just see more. ... Not every Swooper hooks & not every Hooker swoops ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masher 1 #27 July 14, 2004 Check out http://www.waycool.com.au/html/products/red-eye-0.3-lens.htm for a look at the red eye lens. I use a blue eye, and everything is hunky dory. I've seen handycam footage shot with a red eye, and I can't see any distortion. Then again, it probably depends on your definition of "extreme"-- Arching is overrated - Marlies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrisky 0 #28 July 14, 2004 Well, the white/dark contrast line of a doorframe kinda splits into blue, red and yellow... Check out the first few frames of the video CoachjumpWeb.avi in my Webfolder (can't link straight to the file...) That is a Diamond 0.3, of course the hefty divx compression adds to the appearance. This feedback is really appreciated, i also just mailed Way Cool, and they said (yep, already mailed back!) their lens also has some aberration. So i guess there's not too much of a difference, except in the color of the casing...The mind is like a parachute - it only works once it's open. From the edge you just see more. ...

There are actually about 5 or 6 different super low profile 0.3 lenses on the market arround the world, all at about the same price. The conclusion drawn was they were actually all exactly the same optics simply re-branded. I should stress that this conclusion was arrived at by simply examining lenses from different manufacturers and not from some kind of insider info.
