Which wide angle lens is better for HF M41?

So you choose what you prefer: more field of view with a very slight barrel distortion, or the regular field of view without barrel distortion...but also without much in the view.

Why does the 0.66x Raynox look wider than the 0.55x Digital Concepts?

Why does the 0.66x Raynox look wider than the 0.55x Digital Concepts?

Probably because the later is a cheap lens and it's probably not the right number written on it. That lens cost me something like 20$ a couple years ago. It works fine. Honestly, I don't see much difference between this one and the Raynox (at full wide), but when you look closer, the image quality is better on the Raynox. But for the price difference, and if money would be an issue, I could use the Digital Concept without problem and no one would notice it.

New World Video has the Canon 58mm lens for around $150. Is this a good company? Do they sell grey market?

Does anyone know the difference between the Canon WD-H58W and the Canon WD-H58 (apart from price)? Is one or the other other designed for a certain camera type or model? The Canon website doesn't specify. Thanks!

Their difference is discussed here.

Thanks, I'll check out that link. Also, never mind the question about New World Video Direct. Bad reviews of that place are everywhere....
