DV Series
Century Lens
Accessories for
27-37mm Lens Fronts
Century’s Digital Series Series offers quality professional
lens accessories designed to help you go wider, reach further,
and move in closer than the lens alone allows.
Century's superb optics provide the finest professional
images. These state-of-the-art add-ons minimize chromatic
aberrations and unwanted distortion and produces images that
are ultrasharp edge-to-edge. Most attach directly via 37mm
thread mount. Some require step-up rings (27mm, 30mm,
and 30.5mm included).
The Century 27-37 accessories are ideal for Sony
HVR-A1U, HDR-HC1 as well as other camcorders
.55X Wide Angle Adapter
2X HR Tele-Converter
+2.5 Achromatic Diopter
Here is a low-cost, high
quality wide-angle
solution. The .55X
Wide Angle Adapter
offers a lightweight
0DS-55WA-37
single-element design
that allows the user to go 45% wider without noticeable distortion. It nearly doubles
the angle of view and allows close focusing
— right up to the lens front—on many
camcorders. Allows partial zoom only.
Capture far-away action
close-up. This high
resolution converter
instantly doubles focal
length range in the telephoto direction. The
0DS-HR20-37
2X HR Tele-Converter is
designed to maximize the performance of
high-resolution 3-chip Mini DV camcorders
like the Sony PDX10 and TRV-950. When
applied to a Sony PDX10 camera lens, the
usual 43mm telephoto position is transformed to a generous 86mm focal length.
The Century 2X offers front threads for
convenient attachment of 62mm filters.
Maximize magnification
and image clarity when
focusing tightly on small
objects or photos in
table-top, miniature and
0AD-3725-00
flat field work. These
macro-zoom attachments yield superior
image clarity & magnification while retaining
the shooting lens’ full zoom capability.
.65X HR Wide Angle Converter
For a high resolution,
wide angle of view with
complete zoom-thru
capabilities, add the
.65X Wide Angle
Converter to the camera
0DS-HR65-37
lens front. Yields 35%
wider angle of view across the zoom range,
wide angle or telephoto. Realize best
resolution with 3-chip cameras.
.3X Ultra Fisheye Adapter
Fisheyes are known
for their characteristic
effect and awesome
barrel distortion. They
exaggerate depth by
0DS-FEWA-37
making nearby
objects look closer and distant objects
recede. Weighing only 17 ounces, this tiny
powerhouse features an ingenious design
that allows easier handling.
16:9 Widescreen Converter
Capture 16:9 images
without sacrificing
resolution. Instead
of masking— like
some switchable
digital camcorders—
0DS-1609-37
this anamorphic
adapter squeezes the 16:9 image onto
the 4:3 chip, utilizing every pixel for a
higher resolution image. Century’s
accessory reaches wider than the
lens alone for a considerably more
widescreen angle of view. Appearing vertically stretched in the viewfinder or on 4:3
monitor, the resulting image automatically
spreads out to fill the frame when fed to a
16:9 monitor. The 16:9 Widescreen
Converter allows full zoom capability.
