My friend has an hfs100 also he dropped big cash on the lense it is heavier then the camera but you won't lose any quality. Quite expensive though http://cgi.ebay.com/Raynox-DCR-FE181PRO-Fisheye-Conversion-Lens_W0QQitemZ310165624539QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCamera_Lenses?hash=item48374fd6db#ht_797wt_939

O ok i looked it up again and noticed that you are talking about the canon hfs100... That lense would fit the hf100 lol...

This would be the right size lenze....
