    Wide angle lens question .8x vs .45x? Fx1

    I have an FX1 with this wide angle lens = http://cgi.ebay.com/72MM-LENS-KIT-FO...QQcmdZViewItem

    I am looking to go even wider. As wide as possible actually. Is .8x wider than .45x magnification?

    Would buying the Sony lens be a good investment or should I do with what I have now. Also would it be a better picture?

    Another thing, would any 72mm video lens fit the FX1 or do the lenses have to be made specifically for it?

    Thanks in advance

          but too wide is fisheye then you have the fisheye look I thinka fisheye is a x3

          I use a x7 and a x6 sometimes... a 6 will show a little bit of black around the edges

              so would it be kind of pointless to upgrade to the Sony? I think the one i have now is .45

                      all depends on what your shooting... pov stuff I find a x7 or x6 works fine when you get lower than that if a low quality lens you start to see the black ring around the outside but try em both out see what you like... I got piles of lens lying around here from trial and error

                          i sell, well the sony one is about $400 and the one i have came with the cam (prob about $80 on it's own), the sony is a 8x where as this is a .45x supposedly. I see a small ring but can get rid of it in editing. I am looking to get as wide as possible so my arms arn't touching the ceiling during pov. Would any 72mm lens work or does it have to be sony and specific for the fx1?

                              ok dude its not just the number on the wide angle lens which makes the dark ring..ok. if you are a smart intelligent person then you spend 150-200 usd to get a real lens which is larger than the lens itself, this way there is no dark ring and great for such as pov..not that i have experience with pov but such could possible be good uses..ok dude.

                                  I am actually interested in this too. Do you have a specific link or model number for a good wide angle lens for pov shoots with the fx-1?
