Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony VCL-DH0774 74mm 0.75x Wide Conversion lens for Sony DSC-H7/H9 Digital Still Cameras
Customer Review: Sony quality...but with one fundamental design flaw
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this lens when I got my Sony DSC-H50. My camera already has a fairly wide lens (which I love), but I wanted an even wider angle for certain shots and this fits the bill.
I like buying OEM and, having purchased many Sony add-on lenses for my digital cameras over the years, I enjoy that theirs don't have the level of distortion that some other brands have. You get a pretty clean wide angle shot.
It is HUGE and that was a shocker at first, but then this camera is my first dealing with a 74mm. I like that Sony puts this one in the padded bag because it makes a nice cushion in my camera bag between my camera and the hard plastic lens hood and adapter ring. (I love my camera bag so much that I kept it, even though I had to pull out most of the dividers due to the larger size of this camera from my previous, slim CyberShot)
The only negative, and it is a fairly significant one, is that it DOES interfere with your flash. I have the Sony DSC-H50, which is built very similarly to the other reviewer's camera who also noted this problem. I tested it out using my flash and there was a HUGE half moon covering the entire bottom half of the shot.
Bottom line - If you are not shooting with flash, it is an excellent addition to your H series camera. If you expect to use your flash you will NOT be able to use this lens effectively.
I am not likely to shoot with flash very often, so I will still get a lot of use out of this lens. YMMV, however.
