0.45x 37mm wide angle lens for HD camcorders

Beware of 0.45x 37mm wide angle lens for HD camcorders --- 0.45x 37mm wide angle lens (40USD or ~29EUR on eBay from HK) Canon HF11 PAL --- The lenses are cheap but the image quality of my HF11 becomes dreadful (distortion and out of focus). The footage is almost good enough for YouTube (due to the strong video compression) but it is not acceptable on a good Full HD screen (without such a strong video compression). Compare this footage with my first HF11 test video: www.youtube.com --- Recording settings: - Widest angle (43mm x 0.45) - 1080p25 (progressive) - Cinema mode (soft colors) - 24Mbps AVCHD (Canon MXP mode) - Handheld --- - 1080p25 24Mbps AVCHD reprocessed to 720p25 (H.264, MP4 and ~8Mbps video bitrate) - YouTube reprocesses it again to 720p25 (H.264, MP4 and ~2Mbps video bitrate) --- July 08, 2009 Les Avanchets, Geneva, Switzerland
