 Not what I expected October 3, 2008
Andrew J. Dejoras (Cypress, CA)
I bought this set of lenses for my canon HG10, which has a 43mm thread. since the seller claimed that this set was compatible with the Canon HG10, I assumed, as most people would, that the lenses also had 43mm threads. What I was given was a set of two lenses that had 37mm threads, and a 43-37mm adapter ring. The problem is that although technically the lenses can be mounted onto the camera, they're both too small/narrow, resulting in the lenses actually being visible through the viewfinder. The wide angle lens barely makes the cut, with only a hint of the lens around the corners, but the telephoto lens is clearly visible, taking up a large portion of the screen and leaving me with a medium sized circular view in the middle. The only way past this problem is to zoom in, but then that pretty much defeats the purpose of the lens. Although the lenses weren't what I had hoped for, they're not completely useless. The seller needs to specify the exact contents of the package. Other than that, shipping was alright(about 1 week), and the package also included a lens cleaning kit which I know will be put to good use.
