Best Wide Angle lense for Beaulieu 4008ZMII?

Hi,

I was wondering which wide angle lense you guys would recommend for a Beaulieu 4008ZMII?

I'm hoping to shoot some skateboarding stuff with it, so I'm hoping to find a good wide angle.

Thanks in advance

I have a 4008 ZM4 and use the Schneider Kreuznach Ultra Wide Lens III (M62/67) adapter. This works well with the macro setting and gives you and nice and wide equivalent focal length of 4mm. The lens (Beaulieu Optivaron 1.4/6-70) is different from the one on the ZM2, but I believe it should work the same as long as you also have a macro function on your zoom lens. Though I have not tried this, the Canon C8 Wide Angle Attachment (M67), might also do the trick. I have not tried any wide angle primes with the ZM4, but maybe somebody else has?
