I've had .43X for not to long now. My opinion on this lense, Macro .42X Ultra Wide Angle converter lense, is awesome. I'd get these unbleviable shots with this badboy. But ive also noticed that when you apply your wide angle to a different camera, the degree of sight from the wide angle can vary. I had this 96 Sharp camcorder. I noticed that when i attached the wide angle to my camcorder, i didn't get the same wide view that you would get when just looking through the wide angle by itself with your eye. I then recently bought a new camcorder, a Samsung. When i attached the wide angle to the Samsung, you wouldn't believe the angle i got. It was sooo good. It was just like looking through the wide angle with your eye. So remember, that the view of the wide angle depends on your video camera.
