locating used wide angle lens models and specifications

My question does not specifically relate to the DVX100. In fact, I have a AG-DVC200.
I might like to purchase a used wide angle zoom lens for my camera rather than a wide angle converter to add to it. However, when I go to the Canon and Fijinon web sites, I don;t see specification for previous models. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A GOOD SITE WHERE I MIGHT IDENTIFY OLDER LENS MODELS that might still be avaiiable in the used market and that would meet my needs for a wide angle zoom lens that fits a std. Pansonic bayonet mount for 1/2" ENG SD cameras?

there was a great lens place in West Hollywood for a while.
that's all the guy did, lenses.
big glass, ENG glass, he had all the gear to refurb and make like new.
i've bought and traded lenses with the guy- but i've lost contact info.

maybe you can start looking around there?
it ain't much help, but the guy was well trained, fair on prices, and excellent in responding.

guess it's a C mount then?
lots of glass available for that- but, you might want to consider a fixed focal length wide angle rather than a small zoom.
then you could switch back to to OEM lens (zoom) that came with the camera.

Good Luck.

No, C-mount is threaded. Bayonet mount is a twist and lock type. Panasonic advertises the camera as taking 'industry standard' bayonet mount lenses. Easiest might be to forget the lens and converter and get a fixed focal length adapter and hope there isn't too much lens flare without a matte box.
