Thanks.
Someone had recommended the WD-58 for the VX-2000, and when
I got my first one, I borrowed a WD-58 (and then was given
it) and was so impressed, I bought two more without looking
at the more expensive Sony HG0758. BTW, the WD-58 is QUITE
heavy as WA converters go - it is hard to imagine using one
that is even heavier and larger...! ;-)
