Canon HV20 and HV30
35mm equivialent: 53mm x 10 = 530mm
53mm x 0.7x = 37mm x 10 = 370 mm

The Original Canon wide lens is very good.
0.7x - zoom through 10x
- works with Canon HV20 and HV30
Yet - it has no front threads
thus, no filters can be easily attached

The 0.45x works just fine
- 67mm front thread
- wide and zoom through more than 10X
- works with Canon HV20 and HV30
- available now in 2008

Canon HV20 and HV30
35mm equivalent: 53mm x 10 = 530mm

Let me know how you like it when you get it.
Remember - the thread size at the back of the wide lens ought to be LARGER than the thread size of your camera lens.

What camera will you put it on.
It works fine an a Canon HV20/30
