riggerrob 643 #4 December 21, 2004 www.generationfreefly.com Max Cohn has supplied me with great, low-profile 0.2 and 0.3 wide-angle lenses. Zero distortion with the 0.3 and only a tiny amount of distortion with the 0.2. They are so precise that I don't even know how to spell "vignetting." Max can supply them with several different thread sizes (25mm to 27mm) and he also has several different sizes of adapter rings. I use them for videoing my tandem students with the camera straped to my left hand. Their low profile vastly relieves my fears of lines entangling with my hand-mounted camera.

Deuce 1 #5 December 21, 2004 I am also very much on the Max Cohn/Royal lens bandwagon. The .3 can be zoomed to about a .6 until you need the extra field of view. Very low profile lens and customer service oriented company. Skydiver owned. JP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 4 #11 December 23, 2004 Quoteif you are in europe check out http://www.xdream-optics.de/xdreamoptics.htm I use an Xdream skyline .3 and it's fantastic. I see no differences whatsoever in the construction or quality as compared to any of the Royal lenses around. It looks identical. It does not hurt that I was given the lens either.
