Re: WCON / xz-1

To add to this knowledge:

Wide adapters:

Minolta ZCW-300 0.75x works well; the faintest bit of vignette at full wide setting; little distortion; reasonable sharpness to edges of frame. Tiny lens, easy to carry, looks like part of the camera.

Olympus B-28 0.8x works well optically, but vignettes a bit more than the above.

Olympus TCON-17: very nice, very compact for its angle of view, but hefty. Sharp, little CA or distortion.

Raynox DCR-1850PRO 1.85x: very nice, physically shorter than the TOCN-17, and gives a longer telephoto. Sharp, little CA or distortion. Makes the camera look like a tough superzoom!
