Does anyone have this adapter? If so, how is it, and do you know or have any footage that you can share?

Hi, I don´t own that adapter (just the same camera :) ) but I did a quick search on Vimeo and found these videos:

The adapter seems to do a good job. There is some blurring on the edges but I think that that´s to be expected with these wide angle adapters.

Do you need it for a specific reason? The XH A1 lens goes pretty wide as it is.

Yeah I've seen those clips before. I basically need it for a lot of tight shots, like architecture, car shots, etc. The XH-A1 is pretty wide, but not wide enough for me, especially after using the 5D Mark II with a wide angle lens. :(

I'm just wondering how well the lens keeps the sharpness, but from the looks of it, it looks like it holds up pretty well.
