I bought a wide converter from Alan Photo. Vitacon Titanium 0.5x. It reduces the focal length to about 22mm, so the guy told me. It's pretty wide. Oh and also comes with an attached macro adapter that allows you to take from closer than before. All this for $150, while the Canon original wide converter is abt $250. I thought it was pretty worth it.

Yah, there's visible barrelling at the wider ends of the zoom just realised when you asked. Am not sure whether the original Canon one is any better.
The lens thread is abt 52mm I think.

I just bought it two days ago, so haven't had much opportunity to use it. I attach it to my cam all the time just in case, as it only adds to the camera's ability without any trade-offs (besides the added weight).

I'll take em and post em tomorrow. It's too dark now to take any distant objects

Although I don't think the effect will be so pronounced. As you can see in the pic, the barrelling is most pronounced at the edge of the doorway nearest to the camera. Further edges aren't as barrelled.

(this is at widest zoom. the picture on the left is with the wide thing, obviously)

were the 2 pics taken with the camera in the same location at full wide zoom position? my measurements indicate it's only about 0.74x.

OK, here are the sample images... you can take a look for yourself:
As you can see, there's quite a lot of barrelling for near objects, but it's not obvious for distant ones. I don't notice any vignetting.
