Perfectly fits ... works great ... and never comes off my camera I bought this lens within a week of buying Vixia HF100. I knew it would be useful if I want to capture wider shots, but I was having a hard time justifying it's price (I paid $140 back in May 2008 I guess). I bought it anyway because I liked the build quality, read good reviews, and felt that it complimented my Vixia HF100 very well too.
But ever since I first used it, I have rarely taken it off. Seriously. Once you shoot with this lens on, and see that your videos capture a lot more ...

must have if you've purchased a hf-10 or hf-11, i will assume you are pretty serious about video or at least serious as an amateur. i purchased this item based on reviews and interest for shooting groups, landscapes etc. IMHO, this is a *must have* for the camera. I never take it off.
so since you've made the investment to take great video, it's highly worth it to pick up this item.

Perfect accessory This wide angle converter not only does exactly what I hoped it would do, it also looks good on the camera as well. The standard HF100 zoom lens probably only extends as wide as the equivalent of a 45mm lens on a 35 mm camera. With this attachment, I reckon it widens the view to something like a 30 mm lens equivalent on a 35 mm camera. Not quite as wide as a super wide angle, but a big improvement. I keep it on the camera most of the time now and I can't say I have noticed the image quality beco...

Essential Add-On for Vixia HF10/100 This is one of those add-ons that make you wonder how you managed without it. First and foremost, it adds *significant* coverage for landscape or group shots (and when isn't covering the scene important, anyway?) and still leaves a generous zoom of 8.4x. This isn't even a trade-off in my book. Another non-issue (for me) is the fact that it blocks the on-board light, which makes the scene look terrible (casts a harsh blue fringe) & should only be used in emergencies. Plenty of manual controls...

Very useful for HF10 I purchased this along with my HF10 after reading reviews of the rather limited field of view of current HD video cameras. I am very happy with the purchase as this lense stays on the camera. I shoot mostly indoor video of the kids and this really helps. As for lense quality, I've heard good things about it but don't have anything to compare it to. There are probably other cheaper options out there but I didn't want to purchase an inferior product that limits what I want to record: HD video....
