I am a norwegian film student and owner of the xl2. A problem i've stumbled upon is wide-angle shots. Since i can't afford a new lense at the moment i'm looking for wide-angle adapters to fit on the original lens. In norway they're way overprice, but I found one on an american site. And I was wondering if someone knows if this one fits the original xl2 lens:

It's a Canon WD46 46mm Wide Angle Lens

I would in addition appreciate any tips regarding wide-angle possibilities for the xl2. Thanks.

I own that lens... It's a good one, but not on an XL2. That's a 46mm screw-on converter for the Canon Optura Xi, while the XL2 has an 82mm filter-thread.

Most WA adapters for the XL2 20x are, I think, bayonet mount. There are several prior discussions on said topic in this very board, I use the Century 0.7x, not the best but nothing is and it does what I want. People say a lot of good about the 3x as well but that will cost more then a converter.

actualy the xl2 has a 72mm
the best brand is century optics.

thanks for you help guys. but its just to expensive for me right now. thought it would be cheaper, since its just an adapter.
guess not;)
