Sharpness of the 0.6 century wide adapter?

Hi All,

I have a few questions about the 0.7 wide angle conversion and the 0.6 wide angle adptaer lenses from century optics.

I saw the screen graps on http://www.icexpo.com/dvx100/century.html and watched them using the BMP link. To me the 0.6 looks much less in focus/sharp than the 0.7

And when I compare the frame edges it looks like the 0.7 image is wider than the 0.6 one. Is it not supposed to be the other way around or am I getting something wrong?

In the Century optic .6 Vs .7 Vs Pany LW728G thread, evinsky wrote:

' My impression is that the .7 is sharper in the center but worse in the corners.  The .6 is a touch softer overall but more even from side to side.  I think I perfer it's look.  However the .7 seems just as wide as the .6.
What do you guys think? '

I am about to order a whole lot of stuff with my DVX100A (can't wait to have it...). After reading this thread and various others (and seeing the stills from the link http://www.parasiteproductions.com/eos_stills/) I made up my mind for the 0.7, as it looks sharper to me. Now the salesman just called me saying that century said they will only be able to deliver the 0.7 in a month or so (I am buying from germany). Hence, I am thinking again to get the 0.6 one. I know it's alot lighter, so thats an advantage. I said I call him back tomorrow morning (EU time).

Have anyone used both of them? What do you think about their sharpness in comparison? From my impression of the screen grabs, the 0.6 just looks so not sharp...
If I get the 0.6, is the barrel distortion when zoomed in to (35mm equivalent) 22.75, like the 0.7 widest setting, the same than the 0.7 one's?


I will appreciate any advice a lot!

Many Thanks

Raoul
