The Sony VCL-0630X Wide-angle adapter screws into the front of the camcorders zoom lens to provide an even wider angle of coverage (0.6x) for those times when you are shooting in a confined space or for shooting scenery. The wide-converter is useful indoors as well since you'll be able to fit more of your subject into the picture frame.

"I bought this for my Sony DCR-TRV33. I use it mostly for family videos, especially with my kids. For me, the wide end of the zoom range is more important than the tele. The stock zoom never offered a wide enough field to capture indoor activities well. I was always backing into a wall trying to get …"  Read Full Review »

"The lens does a great job at adding a little extra coverage to the scene. It is not to be confused with a "fish-eye" lense that is ultra wide coverage. I like that it does not distort my image like a fish-eye can. "
