New Wide Angle Converter for Sony HDV Camcorder
January 01, 2005
Van Nuys, CA - The new Century .7X HD Wide Angle Converter is designed to complement the Sony HDV camcorder’s higher resolution, wider angle lens system.
This add-on lens produces crisp, high resolution images with low distortion, and superior contrast edge to edge, the manufacturer describes, with multi-coated glass elements providing sharp images free of unwanted distortion or chromatic aberration.
Well suited for shots calling for a wider angle of view while retaining full zoom capability, the .7X HD Wide Angle Converter attaches to the front of the 12X lens to offer 30% more coverage at any setting, from wide angle to telephoto. Equipped with a bayonet mount, installation and removal is quick and easy.
The .7X HD Wide Angle Converter permits a variety of filtering solutions.
As an introductory special, Century includes at no charge a rectangular 105mm clamp-on wide angle sunshade with provision for (1) 4x4 glass filter in a holder (holder not included). Screw-on round filters such as the Schneider Clear-UV and Polarizer are also available for direct front lens mounting. Plus, the Converter is fully compatible with most professional matte boxes, including the Century MKII System.
In addition to the .7X HD Wide Angle Converter, Century Optics offers a series of lens add-ons for the Sony HDR-FX1 HDV and HVR-Z1U camcorders, including: the .6X Wide Angle Adapter, 1.6X Tele-Converter, Fisheye Adapters, and Achromatic Diopters.
Suggested U.S. list price for the .7X HD Wide Angle Converter is $995.
