GAC Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Anyone know how the Sigma or third-party brand optical and other quality is compared to say an actual Canon one?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FocusTed Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Sigma makes good lenses.... maybe not as a good as Canon.. but for what you want to use it for Sigma is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted, They actually don't make the camcorder stuff it seems. I am now looking at the Raynox. See the HD 5050 Pro here: http://raynox.co.jp/english/video/egwidedvr.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric J. Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I'm using a Sigma 0.5x on my Canon ZR200. Works well IMHO. IIRC I bought it at Ultimate Electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, Sigma shows no product line for such things on their website... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I bought a universal wide angle lens at Circuit City for ~$30. It came with universal adaptors and works real well on my Sony video camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
