As the FZ1 caters mostly to the long reach crowd, there are not many wide-angle lens recommendations. However, the following got positive comments: The Olympus WCON-07 0.7X wide conversion lens. The Olympus WCON-08E 0.8X wide conversion lens (a.k.a WCON-08) and the equivalent B-28. The Sony VCL-HGD0758 0.7X wide-angle conversion lens. A much bigger and heavier lens than the Olympus ones. Requires a step-down from 58mm. Raynox has several wide-angle converters: DCR-720 (0.72X, 52mm, samples), DCR-770 (0.77X, 52mm), DCR-6600PRO (0.66X, 52mm) and HD-7000PRO (0.7X, 58mm). For comparisons of different wide-angle converters, see the following: – A G3-oriented comparison on Lensmate, – An FZ1-oriented comparison on Overseas Cruise Maniacs (translations by Excite Japan, Babelfish and WorldLingo), – Ching-Kuang Shenes FZ-10 oriented post and comparison, – Kazutokus converter lens comparison (translations by Excite Japan, Babelfish and WorldLingo).
