Re: WCON / xz-1

IMHO the better comparison is with the C8080 with its 28mm wide end, the angle of view of the lens is in this case more important than sensor size. The C8080 had a big 0.8x wide adapter. The extension between wide and tele on the XZ-1 is big enough to require a dedicated wideangle lensadapter, and it seems Olympus is not planning to make one. And again, I fully understand that because the converter would look rather ridiculous on this compact camera.

Maybe in future one can use a third party WA lensadapter with a converter like Raynox DCR5000? (semi-fisheye, blurry corners; but at least it is very compact).
