I'm a wide-angle nut (I have a bunch of these for the VX2000 plus

other cameras - see www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/WA-converters.htm).

I'm also critical of motion-artifacting, especially with some Mini-DV

camcorders. I have not observed exaggeration of motion-artifacting

with the addition of a WA converter. Differences of scale of subject

parts resulting from changing FLs may appear to have this effect due

to the fixed number of scan lines (and if the WA converter is VERY

sharp, an increase in "mosquito" noise with DV can result from fine

textures), but I don't think anything is inherent in the addition of the

converter that would always produce this effect...
