Hi to the forum. This is my first post. I live in Australia. I would like to make a travel log of a fast up coming trip to Southern India.
I have had little video making experience, a couple of home movies and a lot of footage of holidays shot on an early sonyDVCAM Pd1p. It broke down last year whilst motorcyling in the Indian Himalayas. I only have stills of the best part of that trip. :( I have gone solid state. :)
I want to get a wide angle lens for my hfs10. I had an AMBICO wide and Tele converter set so tried it with an adapter ring 58 to 52. the result was a ring around the picture at wide open. The question I have is weather a canon WC-DC58A .7x lens screwed on will fit and focus?
any helpful advise is very welcome.
Regards ED

The Canon 58a isn't very wide, but it does indeed work.

is there something wider and good ? any recommendations?

I just bought a Raynox .66 (compared to .75 on the canon). The glass is great quality. Much wider angle without too much distortion. Cheaper than the canon as well.
