Wide Angle for the 7X7

[wormz777]

Hi guys, esp 7X7 users,

I am planning to get a wide angle for my 717 but, besides the original sony wide angle, is there other worthy 3rd party lenses?

CP and AP has not been replying to my equote, so anyone has any idea how much is the Sony wide angle and other 3rd party lenses?

Thank you very much for your help!

U can try the Canon WA-DC58N, I will be waiting for the Pro-Optics wide angle, which will come in next mth.

Thanks Stevick!

Do you happen to know what is the ave price for the Canon wide angle?

What is so superior about the Pro-Optics one and does it cost a lot more than the Canon one?

Well, the Canon 1 is about early $200, whereas the pro-optics 1 is much cheaper, but yet to see the built n picture quality.

you could try the VCL-MHG07 (or something like that) that was originally meant for 707. This costs ~$185.

I'll be bringing to the party tonight to test ;p

Hi Mpenza

Here is a shot using the VCL-MHG07, taken at yesterday's bash. It works ok, about 26mm.
