Wide angle lens question...

[drifter1430]

In the past I've always used the wide angle lens "inside" the camera. Though I shoot video exclusively there would always be corners on the film. On my new digital video camera I opted for the outside Inon wide angle lens instead of changing the port and putting the lens inside. The advantage of the lens on the outside is that you can change lenses on the fly if you are careful. The disadvantage so far is that sometimes the lens causes upper lighter areas (like the surface of the water) to white out. I figured it was just a learning curve error and just needed to figure out some different camera settings. Jerry Guire had the same problem with his new camera (same setup) so maybe it has something to do with the lens itself. The new camera didn’t do that until I put the lens on it, but it is still too new to say for sure. I don't have any stills of the white out but here are some diffrent shots from the old camera and the new one using inside wide angle as opposed to external. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
