5Excellent, sharp and WIDE!
By chiflatin
I have an XL H1 and this lens was a perfect compliment to the 20x which is sometimes not wide enough for smaller spaces. This lens worked excellent for DV shots where I needed the 3.4mm wide angle and still have the bright 1.8 iris.The close focus range is unbelievably close (mere inches, if that!) and also has a nice built-in ND filter.Not sure what else to say about it other than it's a must have lens and the first one to upgrade to!

5The other lens you need for the XL2.
By Stephen Rustad
The Canon 3x lens is the perfect complement for the 20x lens that ships with the Canon XL2. Interior shots and expansive vistas, to name just two possible shooting scenarios, demand the wider angle offered in the 3x lens. Frankly, I think the camera shouldn't ship without both lenses.
