low profile lens question

[jeremy_o 0]

Hi,
Mainly my question is: Are there a low profile wide angle lens that is less than $150 .

I am new to video work and would prefer to not cut up my d-box yet and also would prefer to not spend 150 on a royal lens (yet). Am I asking for too much?

I need a 37mm. I already looked at the Sony offerings but they appear to be slightly too large.

TIA,
Jeremy

Shame on me for replying to myself.

I need to measure my dbox when I get home tonight again but maybe the kenko .5 would work: http://www.buy.com/prod/kenko-sgw-05-0-5x-wide-angle-conversion-lens/q/loc/111/90104351.html

This one has worked great for me:

It's small and the optics are great for the price

Here's a lens comparison test by DSE, which includes the Century .55x:

Thanks for the links. I was hoping not to spend quite that much on my first lens but I may bite the bullet.
