📹 Opteka OPT-SC37FE Platinum Series 0.3X HD Ultra Fisheye Lens for Digital Video Camcorders with 25mm, 30mm, 30.5mm & 37mm filter sizes Review

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.
