: I would like to get some answers back on wide angle lens's for the VX1000e.... where to find a web site with lens types & adapters....for nikon or cannon ...... I know that SLR lens will not work automaticly on the sony VX 1000e.... but i would still like to find an adapter...

The VX-1000 lens is not removeable - the only option is adding front WA and tele converters (for more on these, see the camcorder reviews on my web site, listed under the "I babble" index - www.David-Ruether-Photography.com). The Canon XL-1 and JVC DV500 are the only interchangeable-lens Mini-DV camcorders - but WAs designed for 35mm use become long lenses when used with the small-sensor Mini-DV camcorders (even a 7.5mm full-circle fisheye is rather "unwide" on a Mini-DV camcorder). Try the WA-converter solution - it can be quite good, especially if you use AE-A mode and select the smallest stop light conditions will permit without raising the gain level much.
