I put a wide angle lens on my vx2100...I kept it on their for awhile, now when I took it off the image is really, really fuzzy. I messed with some settings and focus but nothing is getting it back to normal, for the image to be normal I have to keep on the wide angle lens, and it's annoying :( , blah...plz help, thanks.

This is a long shot, but I had a similar problem once. In this case, the lens was a combination wide angle/macro lens. When you screwed on the entire lens it was a wide angle adaptor. However the large front section could be screwed off separately, leaving the smaller rear part which served as a macro adaptor. Anyway, I inadventently unscrewed only the front section and then nothing would come into focus. It was fairly obvious what the problem was however, since the rear section was still screwed into the lens.

Are you sure you haven't just set the lens for manual focus and failed to properly focus? When you put it on autofocus can it not focus? If all else fails, try pushing the recessed RESET button to the right of the zebra switch.
