 pleased beyond expectations July 1, 2010
A. vadusen (phoenix az)
i got this for 15$ and im really glad that i did.
the fisheye is really wide,
the telephoto is an extra 3 or 4 optical zoom.
it came with 30-37,30.5-37,43-37mm adapter rings.
i have a canon fs100 so i had to glue on the 43-37mm adapter ring but it was well worth it. i like the fisheye more than the telephoto but they're both great lenses.
 Tried it returned it won't buy anything else from Digital Concepts July 16, 2009

The outer part of the screen is all lens. Huge amount of vignetting unless the camera is zoomed in which defeats the purpose of a wide angle adapter.
The treads on the 30.5 adapter do not work on either my camera or my UV filter I could use the 30mm bu tit is not right. So back to the store with this cheap lens.

Not fully tested yet, but helpful to expand field of view. Anticipate minor loss of resolution
 Not useful with current model Panasonic camcorders December 12, 2007

Attracted by the low price ($20) I bought this set mainly for the wide angle converter. Unfortunately, it provides no benefit with my recently purchased Panasonic VDR-D210 camcorder.
The wide-angle converter itself intrudes into the picture beginning in the corners when the camcorder is set at the widest setting. By the time I get rid of the darkened corners, I have zoomed in to 2x which leaves me back where I started.
With a 32x zoom, the 2x tele converter is not really necessary but does it help? I found that the sharpness is degraded to the point that the camcorder occasionally has trouble focusing. I tried both automatic and manual focus in one test of zooming in on fine print. The loss of clarity made fine print hard to read. It was more readable without the tele-converter and using the digital zoom instead to get to the same 64x zoom level.
Maybe these would provide $20 of value with some other camcorder but I wish I hadn't spent the money. I don't know what price point below $200 would give satisfactory results. I would want to try anything else before I spent any more money on this type of product.
Great for the $$$$ --get what you pay for November 21, 2007

I have used these extensively and I like them alot. The wide angle view is a necessity to get 'filmlike' shots of alot of scenes. And the 2x zoom avoids your camera's digital zoom, whick simply enlagres the pixels and gets blury. Keep your zoom in the optical realm. However; they're are blury spots on the lens, though not bad. My Panasonic PV-GS320 overall picture quality looks better without the add-on lens. The effect makes the trade-off worth it. Excellent choice to begin with, or as a disposable lens. I expect to upgrage to better optical quality.
If you don't already have a wide-angle or 2x zoom lens, then i suggest you buy these. You won't regret it.
