After spending a ton of money, the last thing most people want to do is go and spend just as much for expensive accessories. Anyone that gets a semi-serious HD camcorder is going to want to be able to shoot in all situations the best they can. These do just that.The package came very banged up, but nothing was broken, and it is all in working order. I bought these lenses for my new Sony SR11 camcorder. After trying them out, they do have flaws, but for their price, they are really awesome. They come with plastic covers for both sides of the lens, and they come in a small leather bag; so they are well protected. They fit right on the camera and screw on nicely. They both do their job with only small noticeable issues. On the wide, when the optical image stabilization kicks in, you can sometimes see just a little tip of the lens in the bottom left corner. The telephoto will have a VERY noticeable ring on it when you are at full wide-angle. Although, when you zoom in about 3x, that goes away. Not really an issue, because you wouldn't put that lens on unless you were zooming way in anyhow.The cleaning kit seemed pretty crappy, and the tripod is as well. Oh well, free extras.I recommend anyone pick these up. You don't have much to loose, and they do have a lifetime warranty.

I have an HDR-SR11 Sony camera and I was trying to find a wide lens for it. I don't think the quality of the glass is all that great because when you zoom in you tend to get some artifact in the glass. You just have to remember to take it off before you do any zooming in, which can be annoying when in the middle of filming. I also don't see a dramatic change in the area that is filmed but for the price this works just fine for me. I really got this for the wide angle more then anything so I tend to use that more then the telephoto.

I have a Sony SR11. These lenses does not appear to impair the video quality but with the telephoto 2x lens, my cam cannot focus when zoomed to the far side of the tele. Switched to manual focus and still cannot get a sharp image no matter what I tried. Zoomed out all the way and I got a black ring in my picture. May be these lenses will work better with other camcorders but it's not very useful for Sony SR11. The housing is metal and feels solid in one's hands and screws on the cam very smoothly though. Sorry have not really tried the wide lens as I have a Sony wide angle lens already and it worked fine with my SR11. I bought this package mainly for the telephoto lens (and the low price) but I guess you get what you paid for.

The lens' seem solid and well built, but unfortunately the telephoto lens produced a "halo" around all objects with my Sony HDR-SR12 and the colors seemed a little washed out. Overall it gave my video footage a 1970's quality look and feel. The wide angle lens did work for producing a wider image, but took away from the image brightness and color saturation a bit.

Wide Angle lens is good.The zoom lens are given only a simple and quality Medium.Recommend Wide Angle lens only

What a waste of $30. The wide angle lens I received had defects (specks) *in* the glass, so there was no way I could fix it. The telephoto was fine, but it wasn't as crisp as I would have liked for my SR11. The cleaning kit looks cute, but I haven't really tried using it yet. I'm hoping the seller will let me return this junk and get my money back, but it isn't his fault these lenses are no good.

It fit my sony camera just fine and they work well - easy to use and remove. I like them.

very satisfied with the product
