Red Eye Unveils New DV, Betacam Wide Angle Adapters
March 15, 2004
Toronto, ON - Red Eye will add to its line-up of wide angle adapters, the manufacturer has announced.
The Red Eye is a non-zoom through wide angle adapter, designed to work with a broad range of DV and professional Betacam lenses. It threads onto a camera lens that is equipped with an auto focus feature, macro or back focus adjustment. With the .7x adapter, the angle of view on most camera lenses will be increased by 30%, the manufacture reports.
The Red Eye is about the size of a filter and weighs less than 100 grams. The bulk and weight have been eliminated by using a durable and compact, high index, high clarity optical material which substantially reduces the size and weight of the lens. All Red Eye wide angle adapters feature a multi-layer anti-reflective coating to increase light transmission to near 100% for optimum image clarity, contrast and sharpness. In addition, hard coatings offer an extra degree of scratch resistance and improve water repellence. The lens housing is anodized aluminum and uses standard 58mm, 72mm, 77mm or 82mm thread mount. Each lens comes with its own hand-crafted padded leather case.
One advantage of the Red Eye is that it can be used with your existing lens hoods and matte boxes. In most cases, simply screw the Red Eye adapter on your lens and attach the lens shade. Some lens shades require that the Red Eye be mounted with the shade attached.
