This looks to be a good deal, 60 bucks for both lenses, but can someone who knows about lenses comment on whether they think these are any good, or not?

EBay Item number: 300097345233

Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't touch it.

1. they put "HV-20" just because it's the current hot item.
2. the price is too good to be true (if Canon-made is about $200, Century Optics/Schneider is around $400, what can you expect from this $60 2-lens set)
3. you will most probably waste the HD resolving resolution by using these lens.

Yeah, I'm afraid they will blur the resolution so much that you might as well be shooting SD.

I ordered a factory Canon wide-angle for my HV20. Still waiting on that one to ship...
