I remember now that I bought this lens and didn't want a true fish eye. I just placed an order for a true fisheye but it ships from Hong Kong so it might be a minute before I get it.
Bought one of these on Sunday (the 10th), and it arrives Thursday (the 14th). Can’t wait! Your videos are the only decently recent ones I can watch, so do you have any tips with this?
As mentioned I bought this originally in 2007. I took it to Disney World in 2008. It was my first tapeless camera and I loved the freedom to shoot for hours without having to worry about having a tape. Just a reminder it is standard definition but I would suggest shooting in wide screen as it will look better on a modern TV. Also try to get as much light on the scene as possible. Let me know how it goes, and thanks for watching.
@@WaybackRewind got the camera! ended up playing with it some, and had to use an SD card since I don't have an AC adaptor.. what's the best way for you to convert the MOD files and keep it 16:9?
@@rxgtv mod files are super easy to convert, you just rename them .mpg No joke its a trick by panasonic to make you think you need their software. They are just regular mpeg files.

Serious amount of vignetting from that lens hood
Yes it does. A fisheye, of course, would have even more. But the gain in field of view hardly makes it seem worthwhile.
Appreciate you taking the time!
You're welcome. I appreciate each and every one of my viewers as if I am talking to you personally.
Thanks for watching.
I want to get a true fisheye now and see how that looks.

This is amazing I was looking for wide angel lense for camcorders also do you think I can find one for my Samsung Schneider-Kreuznach?🤗
They make wide angle lenses in all sizes. Just find out your lens diameter in milimeters and start looking.
