velocityphoto 0 #1 April 7, 2008 I can't find the post about hd lenses for my hc-1 ? I have a .3 royal lens now but it gives black corners. Even if i zoom it in some . Is there a low profile smaller lens for this in 37 mm thread? I always zoom just a little bit with my .3 lens for tandems.

DSE 3 #2 April 7, 2008 Wow. Weird. I don't see that with my A1, and I too, have the Royal .3. I don't have a Waycool or Cookie to check out, but they're essentially the same lens. You definitely won't see vignetting with the Raynox 5050 or 3030, but they're twice the weight and 4 times the size. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iceburner 0 #4 April 7, 2008 i just got a hc-5 with a liquid .3 and dont have any problems with it...my only guess would be with how you zommed it, but i doubt that'd cause much of a problem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
velocityphoto 0 #5 April 7, 2008 It only shows up on the computer screen . On he camera it looks ok . I have not made any dvd's with it yet. I did have a uv filter under the lens. Will this make the vignetting effect? Anyone know what the resolution is on the .3 royal lens?

DSE 3 #6 April 7, 2008 A while back I posted a series of shots with a rez chart, I'm not where I can search at the moment, but if memory serves, rez is shy of 400lines, which isn't bad for an SD lens of it's type. It was higher than the other lenses I had available to test at the time. None of the Lo-pro single element SD lenses from Cookie, Royal, or Waycool can resolve more than half your HD camera. Hopefully this will change in the near future. I've seen some of what Max is working on recently, and impressed with what he's got going on, and Century has a new trick bit of glass they're announcing/launching at NAB next week. With HD comes better glass, and better glass either weighs more, or costs more, or both. BTW, the reason you don't see the vignette on a TV or in camera is because of overscan, that computers show and televisions/camera displays don't.

pattersd 0 #7 April 7, 2008 If you have the UV filter in between the camera and the royal lens that is why you are seeing the vignetting. you have spaced the lens out from the camera, remove the UV filter and the vignetting will go away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
