Hi

Does anyone have any hands-on experience of the Panasonic DMW-LW55 Wide Angle Converter on the FZ30?

I understand this goes out to 24mm (35mm equivalent) and screws directly onto the lens without an adapter. Specifically how is the linear distortion, vignetting and image quality?

I have read that other wide angle converters are available from Olympus and Raynox that will fit with an adapter so how do they compare in image quality and value?

The DMW-LW55 is available online in the UK now for around £115.00 (MRRP £385.99) so would this be a wise choice?

Any input much appreciated.
