Digital camera Review: A nasty, badly designed product ...
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this lens to accompany my new HDR-SR12E camcorder. The lens costs $142 (a lot more in the UK) and the camcorder (from Amazon) $1400. The lens screws into the very fine pitch filter mount on the end of the existing lens. The thread is extremely delicate and barely adequate for small and light filters. It is grossy INADEQUATE for a heavy and bulky lens assembly. The lens is held on by two vertical rotations of thread. That's ridiculous. I only got the camcorder yesterday and I fitted the lens indoors as a test last night. That time it screwed on after little fuss but I had no light with which to test it. Today I took the camcorder and the lens outside at lunchtime. A typical camcorder case will not accommodate the camcorder with the lens attached so I had to mount it in the street. It refused to locate into the threads and with only a few seconds of trying I'd managed to scratch the end of my camcorder with the lens mount and strip the black enamel paint from the camcorder's filter thread!!! Then disaster, I was so busy trying to protect the camcorder that I lost my grip on the cone shaped (and smooth!) lens and it fell to the ground. The impact crushed the tiny threads and made my $142 lens junk there and then. I didn't get a single frame of video out of it and I'm furiously angry with SONY for creating such a piece of junk. There's no way a large piece of heavy glass should ever be attached to a camcorder by a tiny filter thread with a pitch so fine that it's near impossible to engage the lens into the threads without stripping them. This is a truly appalling design and I urge you not to risk it.
