Wide Angle Adapter?
 

I have a Canon HF10, which doesn't have a very wide lens. I'm wondering if a wide angle lens adapter would fix this, but I don't want the look of a fisheye, which I already have.

Any thoughts?

Canon supply a wide-angle adapter which is very good (I used to use it before I changed the camera ) and certainly doesn't give the fish-eye look to shots. I believe it is the Canon WD-37.

Oh thanks! Its expensive though. I'll have to wait on that purchase.

Wendell, I have a Canon HF-S10 and I bought the Canon wide-angle lens for it when I bought the camera, - yes, it is expensive, but well worth it. I hardly ever take it off the camera. No obvious distortion and it improves your SOUND !

Of course, because you can get closer to your subjects !

The HFS10 has a 58mm lens fitting, so the wide angle lens would be the WD58. I use this om my HFS100 and it is indeed a good bit of glass. I bought it some years back for the Canon XM2.

Thanks all! I'll be sure to purchase one of these in the future.

Make sure you have to correct model, the HF10 and HFS10 are very different cameras.

I use a Raynox 0.5x wide angle attachment.

I have one of these for my HF200
There is some vignetting at full wide angle so it takes a bit of practice but the results are reasonable for the price, but shop around because the prices seem to vary, I think I only paid about £28 six months ago. Hope this helps.

I use the Canon WA from the GL1-2
 

It's half the price of the Vixia verson and works great.
