Hi, I thought I'd run this by everybody before I throw more money away. I read (in a past post) that some one was using a wide angle lens from a GL2 (58mm) with the HV20, and it worked great. Also, being a bigger lens eliminated a lot of the soft edge, and distortion problems. I have located step up rings, 43mm-52mm, and 52mm-58mm, and a 58mm wide angle lens adapter for the GL2 all for around $60 (Ebay stuff of course). A fair enough price for an experiment. B&H has a 43mm - 58mm for $25.
Anyway, does this sound like a practical thing to try, or am I just throwing away 60 bucks? Even better, has any body tried this?

Thanks

You're not throwing your money away, since the adapter and the step up rings tend to hold their value. I think you should try it and please be sure to give us a full report. If it doesn't work out, you can always get your money back by selling those components.

Yeah, I think I will. Is there any advantage to using the single 43-58mm step-up over the two (43-52, 52-58) rings?
