Canon HF20, Ikelite housing and WAL - Soft edges - any tips!

[Bobspadger]

Hi All

I've recently got the Ikelite 6091 case for the hf200 as it was only £60 more than the canon version
I've also managed to get a second hand Ikelite W-20 lens for it.


However, I get slightly blurry edges on the video - I was sort of expecting this from reading the posts on here.

My question is - does anyone have any tips for getting rid of this - or making it less noticeable.

Also - the lens has a small scratch on it which does show up on the video - any idea's on how to either polish this out or remove it in post?


Thanks

General opinion is the W-20 lens does not work well with HD camcorders. Blurry edges is commonly reported.

I've had good luck using an internal W/A adapter and dome port with my Ikelite housing and Canon HV10. A little soft at the corners and slight vignette, but acceptable to me given the price including filter.
