Wide-angle lens for sony fx7

Post by joerig1970 »

Which lens is the best ( has the best end-result ) HD65CV or VS07CV for a Sony FX7

Or are there better wide-angle lenses for this camera

I used the Raynox WA for the FX7.

The 7062 and the 3062. The 7062 is quite good. 0.7x, no blurry edges, but not perfect resolution, a little prone to flare. But it's quite cheap ($150) so it's a good bang for the buck.

The 3062 is a semi-fish-eye. Very blurry on the edges.

I can't say a thing about the ones you listed, never used them. Hope the input is useful.

Late but yet:
I have Sony's own VCLHG0862 0.8x, which works for me, especially the snap bayonet mount. A more comprehensive packaged option is VCLHG0862K, the same lense included with a wide lense hood.
