Hi guys, I was given a Canon MD 160 camcorder as gift from work and would like to find out if there are any lenses available for this model, I was interested in a wide angle lens. Or perhaps if you know of any US versions that would fit the MD160? Cheers

What filter size is it ?

[shem14]

Right, being new to this I'm not too sure but just looking at the specs it says the filter is 800K pixels. Is that what you mean?

[lurcher]

No its the screw filter thread size on the end of the lens , I couldn"t see it in the spec tho.
On my Sony its 37mm.

I don't believe it has a filter thread at all.

[lurcher]

Is he snookered then Mark ?

I think so, unless you get one which clips on. I know these exist, but not quite sure how you attach them.

Canon MD160 has no thread for filters or other accessories, I was looking at one yesterday as I am looking for a replacement for my Canon MVX 150i (dead), for which I bought a wide angle lens some time ago. I don't know if there is another way to put a filter on the MD 160, but definitely not a threaded one.

Thanks for your help guys, I now know what you mean. I actually have a clip on lens for my stil canon camera and to tell you the truth it rubbish. the photos come out blury in some areas. cheers
