We also have the Abel unit, which we bought with their kitted out Anvil case. Very nice configuration. You can also get an extra mount to go onto a c-stand.

Thank you all for your feedback. This forum is great!
After demo-ing several HD lenses from Canon and Fuji, we’ve settled upon the Fuji6.2×16. This is an amazing piece of glass, with a 15 inch minimal focal distance, and a decent long end. The wide side is sweet, without any distortion. If a client should want wider, we’ll rent one or put on our fisheye for effect. I could see that we might need a longer lens on occasion, which we will rent or buy when called for. This Fuji is a bit heavy, but balances nicely with the A/B Hytrons. What I saved in buying one lens versus two, I’ll use to pay for a lifetime of massages I’ll need for my already screwed up back!

We’re getting a demo of it in today, along with two offerings from Canon and the Fuji 18X. I’m excited to play with all of these.

Visualeyes,
Which HD Wideangle attachment did you go with, and what is the effective new focal length?

Thanks, MH. Are you happy with that lens? Does it seem to serve your purposes on the long and wide sides??

That makes a lot of sense. I hadn’t considered a standard lens with a WA adaptor.
Regarding the manufacturer, I’ve always had Canon lenses in the SD world, and have been very pleased with their sales and service departments. But it seems Fuji is dominating the HD market lately. It’s a tough decision.

May i ask what lens you chose for you HDX? I’m on the fence between several.

Or better yet, send him the check without the signature… which is backordered.

Hi Johanne,
Did you buy this camera with the Fujinon lens (17x) that Panasonic packaged with it?
