Thick-head here again. Tom* will think I'm mad and probably I am but have been looking at a S/H offer of a Sony DSR 500 with the above lens with a 2X extender. I know the camera has 2/3 inch CCDs so the lens must match those but I haven't been able to find out any more about the lens. Can someone point me to the information or the site with it, please.

* the point would be that I would be able to shoot WS and not have to get any more equipment than I already have.

Peter, the DSR 500WS (for widescreen, natch) is the 16:9 version of the 500.
I'm pretty sure you can shoot in widescreen with the 500, but you'll sacrifice image quality if it simply crops the chips.

Thanks, Tom, will check that,
Peter.
