Will this attach to a 58mm sony cybershot f828? This is listed to go with a camcorder. Is there any reason this wouldn't work to take still pictures?

Not positive. I tried using it on my Canon T3i, niether video or photo worked. But when I used it on the camera I intended when I bought it (Canon Gl2) it worked fine. Not sure what the mystery is, but I've heard from other reviewers that it did not work on their still camera either.

As long as the Sony will accept filters, I believe it should work. The thread size is 58mm (obviously!!!) but if the Sony filter size is SMALLER, you should be able to get a step-up ring to adapt the Opteka. I hope this helps. By the way, I love my Opteka!

angela, the threads on cybershot must be 58mm! you can use stepup and stepdown rings if not! i have a powershot sx50, which has a 24mm at the wide end! i am getting a little vignetting at the corners! and yes the lenses does work with stills! this lenses is probaly the best bargain in the entire photo world! very sharp and magnificent color rendetion! on a scale of 1-10, i give it a 13! peeze n LUV

Hello Judy, I know nothing about your camera but in this case camera is irrelevant. What you will need to know is 1. What size your lens that the filter will mount to is-in this case 58mm? Does your lens allow the filter to even screw on or have a way to attach itself. Cheers.

Nope. The lens mates with 43mm threaded lenses found on several Canon camcorders and isn't suitable for an SLR with a 58mm lens.

I used with my canon camcorder only( 43mm thread), but you can twist off the hood and the size is a 58mm and that's the standard or canon camera. I just tested with my canon OES and it fitted. Do not expect to get a very wide angle with this, just slightly wider, but it is very great value. good luck.

Hi Debbiecampbell, Sony VCTD680RM Tripod is not compatible with the Sony A58 Camera. -Vincent

This attaches to another lense. The camera itself doesn't make any difference. But you must have a 52mm lense to attach it too. The problem with it is thd auto focus can't seem to adapt to it. The only way I've found to use it is by focusing manually which is slow and aggravating

I would think that it would work ok with that camera. I have mine attached to a Nikon Pronea 6I. It's a rather small but comfortable body. The strap is a bit of a pain to get onto my hand but holds the camera in a solid manner. I have rather small hands.

I am really sorry I cannot help you. I purchased this product to work with a sony camera that it was advertised to fit. It really did not fit like it should have on my camera.

this mounts to your lens not your camera it screws on the end of your lens as a filter would so if your lens is 58mm it would work with your camera

If the camera has the standard hot shoe mount the adapter will work just fine. I'm not aware of any cameras with hot shoe mounts that it isn't compatible with. However, if you want to find out for sure, go to the Wein website. It has a section where you can ask questions about its products. I hope this has been helpful. I found the adapter to be a top-notch piece of equipment. Best wishesLance Gurwell

I don't have the Canon Camcorder but the Dual Mount unit is designed to fit a standard flash shoe so if your camera has a shoe on the top it will attach there! The mount won't attach to the top of a tripod unless you use a shoe mount accessory!

Two things.1. Yes. I used this on a Sony Cybershot and it does fit.2. This is a piece of junk. I bought two of them and they both broke with minimum use very quickly. Never again...

yes they list cameras it works with because they came with a kit lens that was 58mm thread diameter......really it will fit any camera that has that lens size, and only that lens size....also people say to crop to get rid of black corners, but that defeats the whole purpose of the lens! i just photoshop out the black corners if i dont want them and leave the picture as wide as possible.

Jonathan, I answered a similar question for a gentleman a couple weeks ago. I don't know and unfortunately the user's manual doesn't have any compatibility information. I would suggest that you check out Sony's website and contact them if you can't find an answer. If your camcorder has a hotshoe it should fit. The question is whether or not your camcorder can take advantage of some of the features. Mine can't and I have to use a bracket to attach it, but I'm more than pleased with it's performance as a standalone light. Good luck! Rick

I wish that I had read your post a few days ago... I have a Sony A350 and guess what my Husband acquired for me. A Minolta md mount. whoops. Luckily, it was only a few pounds on ebay but is there any way I can fit this to my camera?

Hi Amanda. My camera with lens is about 18cm long, but there is still space for 1cm more. So if your camera + lens attached is 19cm maximum then it will work perfectly.

As long as your lenses is 58mm in size, the camera brand doesn't matter. Like you said, this item attaches to the end of the lens similar to a filter. I have a canon and it has worked great.
