Wide-Angle Convertor for FZ-30

[yaoxing]

My school just bought this FZ-30 but the widest it can go is not wide enough for some functions. Which WA convertor do you guys recommend and where can I find it? How much would it cost?

WOW! What school is it, you folks are so lucky! School pay for you to play.

You need to check on the thread size first before even asking about the price for any Wide Angle lens.

anyone tried FZ30 + wcon07/08? I heard those are 55mm threaded so no need adapter on FZ30...

Since your school has the budget for the top of the line Pana FZ30, check out with Panasonic if they have wide angle converters for this camera, and get it. Cos the Pana produced tele and wide angle converters are the best on the market for their cams so far, although pricey.
