Much as I like the TRV900 (and wide-angle...), it has been hard
to find sharp WA converters for it. One is the .7X
Canon WD-58, but like almost all WA converters, especially
the widest, the linear distortion is quite noticeable -
though for some of us, sometimes desireable... - see:
http://www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/perspective-correction.htm
For low distortion and good WA performance, the Raynox
HD6600-58 looks good, under $100 from www.edmamarketing.com
on special order (use a 52->58mm step-up ring to mount it).
