Wide angle lens / converter
Hi folks: Wanna give my NX5 a little wider angle for shooting in tight spots. Of course, I could get me a suitable lens from Canon /WD-H72) or Sony itself. Or even Century or Raynox. But these are very clumpsy and heavy - and extremely expensive.
Does anybody know about a lighter and cheaper choice - which of course should not produce any vignetting or blurring around the edges. Thanx for any hint! - Heiner/Finland |
The NX5 does not have an Interchangeable lense... You cannot attach a wide angle lense unless you purchase a 35mm DOF adapter such as the RedRock M2. Once doing so you can then purchase any suitable wide angle photography lense to attach to the adapter.

Heiner was referring to Wide Angle Converter Lens, like http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/464579-REG/Canon_1724B001_WD_H72_72mm_0_8x_Wide.html which can be mounted in front of the existing lens of NX5.
I have a cheap 150$ wide lens Digital Optics 72W002, acceptable for me, I use it rarely. It has some CA and slight distortion. Vignetting (black margins) shows when zooming in 20% - 30%. but dissapears further and blurring the picture's margins, leaving only 50% clear image in the center, sometimes I used for some creative shots. Here is a clip where I used it: |
What ever the lens, you did a great job with this video, and you made the NX5 shine.

Good advice. Problem: Kenko does not deliver it with 72mm thread.

Kenko is just one of many companies that manufacter WA converters or lens attachments.
For the purpose of seeing who has what for your camera you might look at say B&H just to browse. You may find the Sony is you best or only choice or you might find others. |
