Phillip Torrone has a short and sweet MAKE rundown of a TX1 modification to allow a wide angle lens to be attached. It's not for everyone, but if you're keen to take on the challenge, check it out.

yo, some lenses are coming out that apparantly work:

Has anyone tried one yet, or is this fake?
Hmm. I certainly haven't tried one of those, and I wonder how it fits over the lens, especially once it is retracted. I wouldn't want the thing to fall off every time I switched the camera off.
I e-mailed canon and they said that no extra lens would work
I did the same thing with a ring of styrofoam and a cheap fish eye. Just cut it with a pocket knife. Voila! ;-P
No probs. I even rigged a night vision scope to it one time.
Divx versions of lots of vids I've made using it here:
