Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon 1305B001 WD-H37C Wide Converter Lens for HF10, HF100 & HR10 CamcordersCustomer Review: Perfectly fits ... works great ... and never comes off my camera Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this lens within a week of buying Vixia HF100. I knew it would be useful if I want to capture wider shots, but I was having a hard time justifying it's price (I paid $140 back in May 2008 I guess). I bought it anyway because I liked the build quality, read good reviews, and felt that it complimented my Vixia HF100 very well too.
But ever since I first used it, I have rarely taken it off. Seriously. Once you shoot with this lens on, and see that your videos capture a lot more without any visible distortion (except when you have geometrically straight lines in the backdrop e.g. pillars) you will be tempted to keep it on all the time. I even love the look of the camera with this lens on, and feel something is missing if I ever take it off for some reason.
As others have said, this lens does block the light and flash. I suspect it blocks the mic too. I haven't bothered to confirm the extent to which it impacts voice recording, but it's certainly not significant.
So overall, I think this is a great buy. a MUST-HAVE item if you own Vixia HF100, HF10 or HF11. Actually, a lens of such a superior quality is a great buy for any 37mm camera that you can fit it on.
P.S: On a side note, I feel the color and overall appearance of this lens suits the silver HF100 much more than the black HF10. So granted HF10 looks more sexy in black, but if you end up keeping this lens on all the time like I (and most others do), then I think you'll be happier if you owned the HF100 :-)
