makes HV20 footage look even more amazing
By gonzoriffic
Amateur filmmakers who've puchased the Canon HV20 should seriously look into getting this lens as an accessory: once you start shooting with it you'll never want to take it off! Unlike cheaper wide-angle lenses, the WD-H43 doesn't cause blurry edges. Some complain you can't attach a lens hood to the WD-H43, which shows how little they know about their HV20 (its built-in CMOS sensor is designed to eliminate the need for a lens hood). Several reviews complain about the weight of the lens - I for one am happy about the added pounds as the HV20 is frighteningly light otherwise. I've found my shots are not only more cinematic-looking with the WD-H43 lens but the additional weight makes for smoother footage & handling. You feel like you've got a 'real' movie camera, it's very cool.

By S. P. Jacobs
It is a bit larger and heavier than other wide angle converters I have used. On the other hand, the results are better than other converters I have used. For me, the added bulk is a fair trade off.

By K. Ray
On my old video camera I had the wide angle lens, telephoto lens, and an external microphone. The one accessory I used the most was the wide angle lens. So I had to get one. The WD-H43 fits perfectly on the camera as it should since it is made by Canon. It looks great on the camera, but I was surprised at how heavy is was. It makes the camera a little front heavy. I bought a neck strap for it because it is just too heavy with this adapter to be trusted without one.
