Video Camera Lens?

[eskimo]

I've spent an hour looking through the internet and ringing place up. I got other stuff to sort now so looking to you guys for help.

I basically need it spelling out what i need. I'm after a wide angle lens but don't know what would be best for shooting trials and bmx. Like how much magnification and whatever is best. The places i've spoke to seem to say the same thing, "try someone else as we don't stock that anymore".

I ideally don't want to spend more than £100, even so i still don't want to spend that bloody much as i won't be using it all the time.

I currently have JVC MG21. It has f=2.3~73.6mm 1:2.0 written around the current fixed lens. No idea what that means. Don't think it's important. Anyhow it can take a 30.5mm lens. Here is the link to the available lens from JVC.

So all help is appreciated.

The lower the magnification the wider it is. Your best bet is to get something like http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Opteka-43x-Death-Fis...1QQcmdZViewItem

The optical quality isn't awesome, but it's what most people use.

I myself was looking for one, I was told that jessops sold them, no luck there, Obselete modle. I even email Neil T. as I like the look of his from his videos. but he used the one from jessops.

I might just get myself one of them bad boys. they look pretty cool. but will you get raped when they arrive on your doorstep? like more P&P charges, VAT, TAX??

double post.

Raynox HD3030 or something similar (that's a semi fisheye).

It's of very good quality, will fit your camera with an adaptor ring which is included.
