View Full Version : Is this lens kit worth buying?

I saw this lens kit on ebay.

I have a GS65.
Will this actually increase the resolution of the video?
Will it actually widen the recording area because I find the GS65 has a poor recording angle.

I guess what Im asking is, is this lens kit worth buying?

I know my terminology is probably inaccurate, sorry Im new to this.

Thanks :D

It doesn't say it will increase the resolution; it says it will improve the image by eliminating ghosting and lens flare. I guess it could do that but I'm not sure but all adapters might do that. I wouldn't give the "HD" designation any credence.

The tripod is worthless. The cleaning kit isn't something you couldn't pick up on your own.

By the way, I don't see what the thread diameter on those adapters is. Perhaps I missed it. You'll need to know that to determine if they'll fit your cam. Larger might be OK but smaller isn't. You'd need to try them out to make sure the WA doesn't create a vignetting effect. That's where the corners of your frame are rounded off due to your cam imaging the inside of the adapter.

Good luck.
