I had a quick question: Does anyone have this or use this with an HVX? I'm interested in getting one and I'm wanting to see what people thought. Is it worth it? If anyone has in with-lens grabs and without-lens grabs, I'd really appreaciate it.

Thanks.
 
I sent a review to Jarred to post, but I don't think he's gotten time to do so yet. I say it's a good product; does very well at full wide angle. It loses a lot of sharpness and gets aberrational and blurry at full telephoto, but if you keep it wide it does very very well.

I would definitely recommend the 16x9 over the Schneider .75. The Schneider .75 gets very blurry at full wide angle; it cleans up as you zoom in but at full wide the edges get soft and have a lot of chromatic aberration. The 16x9 does the same thing in reverse -- very clean in wide angle, gets aberationnal at full telephoto. But that's a better tradeoff for a wide-angle adapter, IMO.
