GAC Posted August 18, 2006 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
FocusTed Posted August 18, 2006 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

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
Eric J. Posted August 18, 2006 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

Falcon Posted August 28, 2006 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
