Well my eBay Top Dawg housing arrived, and contrary to what Backscatter told me, there IS room for a wide/angle lens and filter for the HC-1 to fit in the Top Dawg. I also called Century Optics as Ihave their .65 hi-res wide angle 37mm thread lens. I ordered a diopter and asked if they had

used the HC-1 with any of their lenses. I was told yes they had, and that the .65 did not work too well, the image was soft. However they said their .55 w/a was very sharp and I ordered one. This is a very short lens leaving enougfh room for a filter AND the longer duration nmq71 battery. Plus it's only $95 and is a wider aspect lens :)

I am off to Australia next week and will report back on the HC-1when I return...
