Review on πŸ“Ή Opteka OPT-SC37FE Platinum Series 0.3X HD Ultra Fisheye Lens for Digital Video Camcorders with 25mm, 30mm, 30.5mm & 37mm filter sizes by Suhas Carney

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Heavy color bleeding on the edges of objects in the frame, good coverage, fun but not for quality work

covers almost 170 degrees of vision which is nice, also comes with a set of adapters for common camcorder front thread lens sizes (30mm, 30.5mm, 37mm, .), however, it shows a lot (I mean a lot) of color speckle at the edges of the image, which degrades the quality of the camcorder. So if you can shoot in FULL HD, you still get the same image as the end result. Bleeding is less noticeable when the light is behind you and when photographing multiple large objects up close (e.g. cat, puppy, flower, etc.), but color distortion is always present and you can see it around the edges. everything you write down However, this is a fun lens that doesn't distort/bleed as much at the edges.

Pros
  • New
Cons
