This was a mistake January 12, 2008

I bought this to go on my GL-2 which I use as a second camera for sports videography.
I put the wide angle adapter on the camera when the camera was new and left it there as my intent was to always use it for close shots.
I was always dissapointed with the video quality of the GL-2. I thought it was simply not up to par with my Sony because the Sony is a High Def camera.
However I always download the high def camera to editing software using the Standard def output.
Therefore, I would expect the video quality to be comparable but that was never the case.
On a recent family vacation, I pulled the adapter off and was surprised to see the sharpness had improved dramatically.
Now I know that putting more glass in front of the camera is going to cost you some clarity that is to be expected.
However, this lens adapter either messes with the autofocus or degrades the image significantly.
What good is a wide angle shot if you can't get decent results?
