What models of the Vixia line have lens threads

I am new to the Vixia line.  I recently picked up a Vixia HF R40 and I'm pretty suprised at the quality.  However, it lacks the ability to add a wide angle lens adapter.

Is there any list of Vixia HF camcorders that have lens adapters?  I would like to review their specifications and possibly pick up another one or two with the options I might be most interested in.  

thanks!

Hi Tim,

Would you please tell me what product i'm looking for for a lens adapter for the Vixia HF G21? I don't really know lingo for camera stuff, but i've had one for years, and every time i've ever looked up lens converters for it, i've never found one. What product do I need to purchase?

 

Thanks,

Mike

I think I found more than that. The R1x-3x models and R7x-8x models. Thanks

SingingDrummer,

 

The R800 series does.  43mm.  I got the following set: Lens kit.

Cheap quality but they fit.  I keep the UV on as a lens protector.  The zoom lens has some framing issues on the sides unless you zoom in; a step up ring might work to solve that as well.  Either the CPL filter is junk or I am not smart enough to use it; both scenarios are equally valid.  Have not tried the macro lens or the FLD filter.  My set did not come with the 43-52 ring adapter included in the set description.  Good luck.
