Hi there,
I bought a wide angle and telephoto lens kit for my Xi from Buydig.com (1 800 572 3224).
Both are very well made and I am pleased with the quality so far.
The following are the SKU numbers from the web site, you may find a better deal elsewhere.
Saktit2x46 (Digital optics titanium 2x telephoto lens (46mm))
Saktitwa46 (Digital optics titanium .42 wide angle lens with macro (46mm)).
I was quite pleased to find that the wide angle lens doubles as a macro lens (need to un-screw part of the lens in order to get the macro, as the lens is in two parts).
The wide angle lens in fact will give you noticeable "curves" at each edge of the video you shoot, if you are completely "zoomed" out. I found that by "zooming in" a little gave me less of the curvature and hence a better looking video.
For outdoors this lens is really great and for added information, both (lens) will work in day and night conditions, with or without auto focus.
One last item;
I do not work for Buydig.com but if you ask the sales person for discount he/she may well give you some! Can't hurt in asking for a discount!
Hope this helps you out.
Do you like the Xi or is that a stupid question?
Kind regards,
mdjet.
