could consider the Sony MHG07A 0.7x wide-angle converter which costs ~$185 at Cathay Photo. this is a high quality converter.... I'm selling mine but to someone tonight.

You need to test it out though.

for bags, check out the Lowepro series. They're good and not pricey.

The Fujifilm wide-angle.... is it the same as the one for 4900, 6900 and S602Z? If it's, you may not see a big difference with it attached. Anyway, this should cost <$210 (price I bought it at last year).

The recommended WA lens written on the box are WL FX-9/FX9B.

if it is $200 plus.......Yuks!
I might look at alternative.......

I'll check out the lowepro.

thanks

I also think should get a UV or polarising filter to protect the lens...

You can get a basic typical black lens cap for 55mm at about $4 to $6. Most camera shops should have.

If you keep the adpator and UV(0) on all the time, your lens will never be exposed to dust or scratches! That is important to me!
