boomslang 0 #1 November 12, 2008 I have been searching the web (including the DZ.com search engine - where I found a few threads about wide angle lenses but none that I found answered my question) for a very nice wide angle lens for the Sony HDR-TG1 camcorder with the 30mm thread on the Cookie Blackbox. I would like to get the best picture quality from my camcorder so I need a high grade lens, but I do not know where to look. I currently own a Liquid 3 wide angle lens with a filter from Cookie Composites, and a TG1 with a Cookie Blackbox - mounted on a Cookie MXV with a cutaway system. I am looking for something that will produce no vignetting. I am not very knowledgeable on this subject so any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time!Cats land on their feet.

bomb420 1 #4 November 13, 2008 You can use a raynox and use a step down ring and zoom in a tad. I always forget the zooming part, but it works and that is what I've been using.HYPOXIC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remove the filter kit that will stop the vignetting. I had a Liquid 3 lens with my TG1/TG3 setup and found that the lens vignettes with the UV filter kit so I took it off. The only problem is that the Liquid 3 lens picks up the side of the helmet. I've since sold my Liquid 3 lens because I think it looks pretty bad when you have enough helmet in shot for it to be classed as porn... and you cant really sell the footage to a customer. I'm now using a liquid 5 with no filter. Works for me."When I left school I couldn't even spell skydiver. Now I are one!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
