HV30 with Century Optics .3x Fisheye Lens Test

nice dog! You say 'no vignetting' but I can see the vignet and even see the hood.
 
no no ... you see ME in the corner at some parts hah ... look again !

Are YOU a vignette? Doing a vignette life? I see black in the corners ehh.. it is not moving, and a soft color difference right up corner. Is that you, holding the cam?
 
Cool shots! Nice dog, too. :)

I have the Century Optics / Schnieder 0.5x lens and really like it. In fact, I like it better than Canon's own 0.7X HD-43 because it's much lighter.
 
nice one and nice dog! :) mine could never keep up with me on a skateboard or bike haha.. that's the downside of a french bulldog ;)

But about the lense. Well I have some century optics fisheye lenses laying around (.3x Vx2K bayo, .3x 58mm screw-on and a .3x 37mm screw-on) and I am thinking about getting a HV20/HV30 in addition to my HVX200 for mobility and special-shoot matters.

Do you think it will turn out nearly as good as with the obviously new 43mm .3x fisheye?? (I havent heard of it before...)

Thanks
Marc

Here's a clip I took with the 37mm and a cheap sony minidv that sony gave me:

Wow! I'm not used to seeing to many HD-fisheye videos! I'm guessing thats the 43mm fisheye? Looks great!

its a custom fisheye made with a broken 35mm camera that i took apart (lomo fish eye). I hot glued the two lens's it onto a regular UV filter for my HV30.
