True
Widescreen for Digital Video
Some 4:3 DV camcorders have a 16:9 widescreen mode built in. But
electronic widescreen only crops the image, sacrificing resolution. This 16:9 Widescreen
Adapter takes you wider, not smaller — for a wider view and not a pixel lost!
IF Series: Broadcast News
The new IF Series .8X Wide Converter gives you 20% more coverage in a smaller,
lighter add-on for If zooms. Realize wider widescreen in 16:9 and reclaim the angle of
view you lose when you switch a 16:9 camera to 4:3.
We tried this SUPER WIDE ANGLE
on the
PC100 in Progresive Scan Mode and didn't believe our eyes! Fantastic. Great for creative
photographing and videographing.
Jan van der Meer at IBC Amsterdam
Century Booth testing new Century
lens: "This is really a great Fisheye! Superb
quality!
Now we can make these great sport shots with extreme wide angle from just under a
surfboard in one shot! It sure is expensive but great value for professional
use.
This lens fits perfect on SONY VX1000 but also on all other cams from 37mm to
58mm all Stepping rings available.
And it has no vignetting at all. I'm glad one
firm on this Globe is concerning making these lenses, because others who used to do this
don't!"
The
new 3X Ultra Fisheye Adapter
Offers an
extreme fisheye effect and a high degree of barrel distortion.
It exaggerates depth by pulling nearby objects closer and causing distant objects to
recede into the background.
On the Sony DCR VX-1000, the.3X Ultra Fisheye Adapter
yields a horizontal viewing angle of 145° (180,° measured diagonally).
With small digital cameras and this Fisheye, capturing
extreme action shots is dramatic and practical. With its almost total depth of field and
unmistakable style, this adapter is popular among many action sports
shooters.
Jan van der Meer Founder Global DVC uses the Century on
his PD100 to capture extreme surf action along the beach at Zandvoort Holland. "With
the Century Fisheye Adapter, I can get in close to the action and allow the exaggerated
perspective to create the drama and excitement I need in my shots."
