Good lens
I purchased this for my Sony HDR-HC1 HD Camcorder. This lens is actually made of two lenses. The first one attaches to the camera for Macro and the second lens work with (attaches to) the first lens to provide the wide angle function. Construction looks good and saw little or no artifact from the lens. There were cheaper lenses for the money but I decided to spend a little more hopefully to get a better lens. Unfortunately, the only way to know for sure is to buy both this lens and the less expensive one and compare directly.
Not as advertised
Caution-this is not a Sony product from Blue Nook. It is aftermarket with prominent fish eye distortion. I am returning it and hopefully they will correct their listing.
