since we were discussing the Z1, I had a quick question. Anyone use a wide angle adapter, the Sony VCL-HG0872 with their Z1? Is this wide angle lens suitable for this HD camera or is the lens made for miniDV cameras only?

That particular lens is for the Z1/FX1, yes. I have the 16x9 product which is very similar in appearance, I have not compared the two. I noticed with the 16x9 product, I didn't see nasty vignetting/Barrel distortion and it looked great, so I bought it.

Hmm, i'm a bit confused... You were comparing the wide angle with the 16:9 lens? Aren't they 2 completely different things?
Also, why would you need a 16:9 lens for the fx/z1 when they shoot in that mode natively...
