Bayonet mount in VX2100

   Does Sony VX2100 comes with bayonet mount (that is used to attach lense shade)? I want to buy wide angle lense and can understand: should I buy 58mm lense for screw-in only or I can also use lense for bayonet mount?

   Ya know, getting specific manufacturer product info from a user forum is probably not the best practice. This is a good place to get opinions and feedback from camera owners, but not specs and hard info.
   
   You can browse over to the sony website and/or bhphotovideo.com. B&H is excellent about responding to customer questions like these.
   
   With that said, you are forewarned to take this with a grain (or bucket) of salt..
   
   At this time, only Canon XL models (as far as I am aware) offer changable lenses. I may have led a sheltered life, but I'm not aware of any cameras that have bayonet mounts for attachment lenses, only for interchangeable lenses.
   
   Therefore, yeah, you'll need 58mm filters and/or attachment lenses. But wait! Before you run out and buy a wide-angle lens, why not get the camera first so you can determine just which aspect ratio you'll want?

   Actually Compusolver, you are incorrect. The VX2100 does accept bayonet wide angle adapters.
   THe lense its self isnot interchangable, but you can however put a lense adapter, such as a century optics wide angle using bayonet. In my opinion and many many others opinions, the bayonet is a definit way to go, avoiding striping out threads and it is very easy to put on and take off.

   First dont listen to someone when they first say dont go to a message board for a question about your camera, when the forum specifiys SOny Camera's

   Well, that's what i get for investing a whole ten seconds to investigate a question! Thanks for straightening me out. The lens hood mounts by bayonet, so why not filters, adapters, etc.? One of these days, I'll stop, look and think before replying (but not this week!) X-D

   You can turn any 58mm filter/lens into a bayo mount with my adapter as seen here
