I'm looking for a wide angle adapter, too. Anybody have any experience to share?
Currently leaning towards Raynox .5x adapter HD5050. It's supposed to have 600 lines/mm resolution.

I'm also looking into getting a wide angle adapter. I'm wondering if it's worth it to drop the $190ish to get the Canon WD-H43 adapter. Will I have to worry about vignetting with the cheaper ones or a lower image quality? What's the advantage of the Canon over the others?

The Canon is full zoom through with excellent image quality. But it is HEAVY, and pretty much doubles the weight of the camera.
I have the Canon, but am interested in a lighter weight alternative.

Would the lighter weight alternatives cause image distortion? I ran into someone a gig who had one, and he said he would get vignetting if he zoomed out too far (but didn't mind, since it was a concert and it was mostly dark).

I'm testing the Raynox 6600 & 7000 and as soon as I receive it, the Canon wide. So far the 6600 has 4 points and the 7000 only 2. in certain zoom/distance positions, they are nearly identical in image quality.
Just waiting endlessly for the Canon to arrive.:beer:
