Has anyone compared the quality of 16:9 inc's EXII 0 6X Wide Attachment vs century optics .6 wide angle for the ex1r?

or just 16:9 vs century lens in general?

So sorry I can't point you at the discussion I read, but I did see one a while back. IIRC, the Century won by a gnats. Bought one, used it, got a few nice shots but wasn't really delighted, bought Canon 550D and Tokina 11-16 instead, lived happily ever after. YMMV.

Robert hard to know as to what you mean by quality. Both are going to have the same issues with barrel distortion. The adapter isn't like a full blown lens where you can be going through over 6 lens elements.

I would suggest going to camera outfit in a larger city that will probably have at least a Century wide angle in inventory and try it out.

I have the Century zoom through wide angle which is a very good lens adapter but any wide angle adapter on this camera is going to have a degree of compromise. The differences between the units will be small, if unnoticeable. The Century will be an easier resell.
