Sony 0.7 wide angle lense

[bradcurn 0]

Hi

I have just bought a Sony HC96 with a Sony 0.7 wide-angle lens. I am busy organising my camera helmet to use it with the new camera, but in the meantime before I get to jump it, I have a question.

Previously, I used a Sony PC109 with a Kenko 0.5 lens and mostly used it to film footage from the inside of the formation while doing 4-way. (I loved my PC109 but it unfortunately got stolen a few weeks ago.)

So my question is how will the Sony 0.7 lens compare to my old Kenko 0.5, bearing in mind that I will not be using it for outside camera but will be filming from inside the formation? Will it be too narrow?

Should I rather try and get a 0.5 lens to fit my camera? Will it be necessary to get a 0.5 to get decent footage from inside the formation?

Thanks.

For inside vid you want a .3 lens, .7 is for outside and may be fairly narrow for that even

No oen can tell you how the kenko + pc109 will compare to the sony + hc96, each camera is different, the thread sizes (step rings yes/no) matters and each manufacturer or worse each LENS is different. But in general, for outside get .45-.5 for inside get .3
