Hi,
I own a Panasonic Pv Gs500, and i'm looking for a wide angle lens. NOT fisheye which may distort the image. I checked ebay, and there seems to be a great variety of lenses of all prices. Any idea on what to look for or should i just buy a cheap 20$ one? Thanks.

Btw, here are some that I was looking at:

I own one by this same company (the semi fish eye, but its basically this lens with a little added fish eye) and it is great.
It's not as expensive as the good canon one and works great. It is durable, hasn't scratch and has a wide field of vision.
