I've searched and read some of the previous topics about the wide angle and how it gives a really disproportionate/distorted close up view of the action.

I'm still confused about what lens to use then. I'm assuming tele-photo is much too large and macro is not necessary since I won't be zooming into the talent's pores.

Any suggestions?

The VX2000 has a fixed lens, probably a 1:12 zoom with a roughly equivelent angle of view of a 35mm ~ 450mm lens on a 35mm still camera.

If you can't hold steady with the Bower wide-angle adapter, it's not the lens or the camera. Wide angle of view lenses and adaptors like the Bower minimize camera shake, which is why they are so popular with pornographers who have to do loooooong, unbroken shots, without the benefit of the a steadicam rig.

Maybe try laying off the crystal meth? That always gives me the jitters.
