Hunter Sandison Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Can you use the 16x manual zoom lens of the SD XL series or does the xl h1's increased resolution make this impractical? If so, is Canon going most likley going to release an HD 16x manual lens? If not would this make the HD 20x zoom that comes with the xl h1 the only lens with an xl mount that is sharp enough to use on this camera? Maybe some of you guys can help me out with this information. -Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest concerns were chromatic aberrations. But the charts and test footage yield no problems. It was so surprising that many started questioning the claims made by Canon about the "redesigned" 20x HD lens and whether or not it was really just the stock 20x lens with a flourite layer. Visit DVInfo.net for those results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
