Is this possible? (35mm Adapter question)

[Westcroft]

If you put a wide angle adapter on your HV20 and it has threading... can you then attach a 35mm adapter to the wide angle adapter?

?

[mattias]

the reason being that you want to use the inside of the adapter as a heavy vignette around your stamp sized footage or what? ;-)

You can but you'll see the inside of the adapter. Unless that's what you want you'd probably want to put the wide angle at the end of the adapter on the 35mm lens.

I was going to reply with the same answer...never seen that done before though. I would imagine there would be a lot of light loss due to all that glass being in front of the cam.

Putting the wide angle between the camera lens and adapter (GG) will only expose your images to blur/distortion/excess vignetting+adapter internals/light loss etc... not to mention a loss of resolution in the 35mm image. Which are all probably not desired.
With that said, to answer your question: YES you could do it.

However, as already suggested, it would be better to attach the wide lens converter to the 35mm slr lens, attached to the adapter directly on the camera.
- This way you can actually capture a wider field of view from your 35mm lens. Whereas if attached to camera directly you will only distoring your 35mm lens designated focal length (and not fit any more scene in the shot).
