Video Prep – Opteka Lens Kit Test
// January 12th, 2009 // No Comments » // Video
So, in an effort to get more flexibility while shooting indoors, I ordered some lenses that attach to the front of my SR11. The kit was only $30 from Amazon, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. As you can see from the video, it’s not too shabby.
There’s a bit of image distortion on the Wide-Angle lens, but I suspect it’s so little that people wouldn’t really notice.
If you scrub through the Youtube video, you can see that basically the wide angle lens cuts the zoom in 1/2, while the zoom lens doubles it. I’ll have to see if it gives me any flexibility with DoF, but I doubt it. All in all, probably worth the 30 bones. It also came with a lens cleaning kit, which is useful for sure.
