 Great lens for the money November 3, 2006

I thought twice before buying this lens. It wasn't designed specifically for my Canon A620, it required the purchase of an adapter ring, and it blocks the flash.
Having said that, the lens feels good on the camera (even with Canon's plastic adapter) and the pictures are what I was hoping for. I use it all the time. It's great for assembling panoramics, and doesn't suffer from any unexpected distortions (beyond the horizontal bending you get from any wide angle lens).
Highly recommended.

As mentioned in previous reviews, this lens gets in the way of the viewfinder on most of the products it fits, so it is necessary to use the lcd for proper framing, and you really need to use an external flash for indoor shots. Despite this,it makes wide angle shots possible on a fixed lens camera, which is what it was designed for. Without an external flash, you will experience black spots. Edge distortion is minimal, and even with a SLR/wide angle lens combination, your going to experience a similar result. How many times have you tried to photograph a room and not been able to get much of the room in the picture? This lens definitely helps in that situation. Outdoors is where this conversion lens really shines, creating a landscape effect. Hope this info helps anyone on the fence about investing in this product.

This lens is as sharp as the primary lens. It's only draw back is the need for a side flash.
Great choice for VIXIA HF S21 June 30, 2010

I went through many lenses for the VIXIA HF S21, including those recommended by Canon (the WD-H58 for example). This is a great choice if you don't want the heavy WD-H58 but still want 0.7x demagnification. Fits on the camera perfectly, and the full zoom range is available with no vignetting. Best of all, weight and cost is significantly less than the WD-58!
