SONY ZV1 Wide Angle Macro Lens Kit

First, I am not using the adhesive ring because I am using this on the F model of the FV-1 (FV-1F.) I followed some YouTube examples and added a Variable ND filter that screws onto the camera. (I'm using that for video to keep my exposure settings where I want them to adhere to the 180 rule.) Next I added a step-up ring that fits between the ND filter and the Ulanzi Wide Angle lens. (I have not used the macro option on this filter but what a great added benefit.) The short version is that this lens helps resolve the camera problem of not having a wide enough view angle, ESPECIALLY when using the stabilization setting on the FV-1 version cameras because of the crop in 'feature' that occurs when stabilization is turned on. This does add more weight and bulk to these small form factor cameras. However, what we're really after is good video. I am willing to have a bit more weight and bulk. For a much less expensive camera I've been able to get a better image. Eventually I will get a different primary vlogging camera and use this for b-roll or as a top camera. For now I'm really happy with it and will add more down the road with more use. And really, this still isn't as heavy or bulky as a much higher $$ vlogging camera with a separate lens! 2 last mentions. First, because I'm using the F version I do not know how this works with the adhesion ring. There are some extremely positive reviews on YouTube as well as a some less than positive mentions. Second, on this FV-1F it is easy to unscrew the lens configuration I'm using and have the camera as the super small, compact pocket-size vlogging camera it is. Over all I really like this set up and will add more pros or cons as I discover any along the way. All the best in your own set ups!

Love it!!

Worth it fr 🥹🥹🥹 i love them so much

The only thing I don't like about this lens is that it falls off, there is no secure way to attach the Lens to the camera. But the lens is very clear and helps with content creation. 7/10

I loved that it did not make my camera too heavy. It is a very high quality lense. It is worth the money spent on it.

The ULANZI WL-1 wide-angle and macro lenses are exceptional. I purchased the 52mm size. It works well and is universal because of the adapter that can adhere to any lenses face. I think we having the ability to take in more of your surrounding with the addition of a wide-angle lens such as the ULANZI makes it worth it at the price point.

This lens is a complete disappointment. The adhesive does not stick properly, causing the lens to fall off repeatedly. No matter how carefully it's applied, it won’t stay in place for more than three days. It's frustrating and feels like a total waste of time and money. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

This is a nice and compact attachment lens for this camera, it’s makes the camera slightly more heavy but not extremely noticeable. The lens work perfectly, aside from the positives the lens requires this adhesive it comes with that makes the base of the lens stick to your camera, which can be kind of annoying because you’ll have this sticky residue left on your camera because after a while the lenses fall off and you have to add another adhesive round. The first time I stuck the lenses on it stayed for a good 4 months without falling off them recently the adhesive stop sticking as good as it did before and when I add more it never stuck like it did the first time. If the adhesive worked better I’d give it a higher rate.

You can estimate the quality of this just by picking it up. You feel the heft a good optical accessory should have. Didn't observe any discernable quality penalty with Sony Zv1. It does add significant heft to the camera though. But still worth it!!

Wow, it actually works. Was very skeptical about having adhesive on the lens for the adaptor... but it actually works. It feels half as heavy as the camera. It feels a bit scary that it might weigh down the camera, but i still do it anyways. I get way too lazy to take off the lens when turning the camera on and off. Only time will tell if this will ruin the motors. I'd say it adds 25% more field of view when recording 4k with image stabilization active. I'd say it turns the 33mm (equivalent) to a 18-20mm which is much more usable. The shot feels a bit less claustrophobic. Is it necessary? Not really.. Especially if you shoot 1080p and stabilization off but really good option if you do selfie style vlogs at 4k image stabilization on which is what I do.

The product is great... except... the adhesive that connects the adaptor to the lens is WAY too wide for the Sony rx100. It spills over to the adjacent barrel and sticks the adaptor to that barrel!!! The camera would not activate properly and I had to turn ot on / off a number of times while pulling on the adaptor to unstick the lens! :-( The adhesive needs to be cut so that it is a maximum of 2 MM in width.

Amazing Lens for SONY ZV1 - It makes a huge difference when you try to record with the lens. It is a MUST buy for all the SONY ZV1 users.

Fell off after installing even with 3M adhesives.
