Amid the hubbub surrounding their announcement of two new HD camcorders, the Canon XH G1 and XH A1, Canon also announced a new wide-angle lens for their XL series digital camcorders. The new “HD Video Lens 6x Zoom XL 3.4-20.4mm L” lens is a 24.5mm to 147mm equivalent. It features a manual iris ring along with the usual manual focus and zoom rings. There are some other cool features that you can read about on Canon’s product page.
