Eumig PM Aspheric Screw-On, 55mm Lens for Super-8 camera WIDE VIEW SEE VIDEO

Description

EUMIG PM ASPHERIC 55mm lens
for SUPER WIDE ANGLE filming.
Will fit onto existing 55m Super-8 movie camera lens
or any other 55mm lens.
This is a nice lens to screw onto any existing 55m lens (or 52mm or 58mm with the appropriate step-down or step-up ring.  See the video below for example of how it changed my 8.5mm wide angle shot using my Elmo 612S-XL into a Super Wide Angle view (maybe 4mm?).
The only odd thing I noticed was once I screwed this onto my lens, I had to completely readjust my eyepiece to get a clear picture through the viewfinder.  Then when I unscrewed the lens, I had to readjust the eyepiece to where I had it originally.  I also noticed the picture was pretty good, but not quite as sharp as without the wide angle adapter.  However, I never cleaned the lens before screwing it on as it looked clean to me.
The video shows the difference between the normal wide angle (8.5mm) on the Elmo and with the adapter screwed onto the front of the Elmo's lens.  Video taken by cheapo digital camera pointed at a movie screen while film was projected.  Maybe one day I will get a Wolverine to do this better.
