When I first got mine I thought the same thing but after using it I was happy with it . I am sure glad I had already purchased the External flash for indoor shots.As you know you can't use the built in flash.I just received sony's VCL-MHG07A Wide Angle Lens and it's huge and
seems pretty heavy. What do you all think? I have not had much
time to take photos with it, how's the resolution?

Charles, this lens looks akeward at first but the definition and quality is there. It is a great match to any 707. My only complain is that we can't use the internal (awefull) flash but I got a F-1000 anyways so ...I just received sony's VCL-MHG07A Wide Angle Lens and it's huge and

No BFS, No hassle but strong vignetting on left

i use this lens quite often...
you don't have to use the conversion mode. it is hasslesome.
just screw on the lens with the 52-58 step-up ring (provided in the
A model), and put the camera in macro mode. this should enable the
camera to focus properly.
however, the auto-focus sometimes has difficulty focusing in flat
conditions. i've found that adjusting it to 0.11m in manual focus
mode works well.
also, when possible, use a smaller aperature like f4.0 so the edges
of the image remain sharp. at f2.0, the edges of the lens come
into play, and really softens/blurs the periphery of the image.
if using other filters in-between the wide angle, you might have to
zoom in a little so there is no vignetting.
overall, out of all my filters & add on lenses, this one gives me
the most reward. i enjoy the wide-angle perspectives, and am
always looking for opportunities to exploit it.

Other than that, no special tricks to use the lens in panos, it
works great and doesn't seem to introduce a lot of barrel
distortion, unlike some other WA lenses I've tested.
