Just got my Baby
 
Just bought my Canon XH A1 today. I also pick up the wide angle WD-H72 lens. I was hoping that it could also fit on my XL2, but was surprise to discover that it does not fit even when they are both 72mm. Any way I will be around here more often with questions as I can see that the learning curve is pretty big.

It should fit the XL2 if you remove the lens shade......why wouldn't it fit?

Lou Bruno November 25th, 2006 07:24 PM

Nope....it won't. The threads are too deep on the XL-2. Cent. Opts. will work.

Congrats
 
Great news Mike. Now if mine would only arrive.

I should get it by Wed.

Please let me know how you like your wide angle adaptor. I haven't yet jumped to grab one, but I am contemplating it.

Wd-h72
 
The threads are too deep on the Wide Angle, not on the XL2. I'm hoping that someone can come up with ring and adapter or something like that so I can used it with the the XL2. Also if you used a filter on the A1, it must be removed to installed the wide angle on the camera.

Congrats, Mike. I got mine Wednesday evening right before Thanksgiving. Haven't had much opportunity to do any real shooting, just tests around the house, and I'm very impressed so far. I also like the nice, solid feel of the camera.

Hello Mike:

I have the same problem, the WD-H72 doesn't fit the XL2. Have you resolved the problem with a ring adaptor or something?

Thanks
Manule

Ringadapter
 
Hi Manuel:
No I have not, Instead I have been using my A1 most of the time and the XL2 is sitting on the shelf with hardly any used. Good luck to you.
