The Canon WD-58 will fit on the TRV-900 (as will the cheaper
WD-55) with a step-down ring, but I have not tried it to
see if it is a good match. It is rather heavy, though, and
camera balance may suffer (that doesn't stop me - I have a
WD-55 mounted on my PC-1...! ;-) BTW, the WD-58 is also an
excellent match for the VX-1000, in addition to the VX-2000,
so I suspect you would like it for sharpness on
the TRV-900...
