Schneider Optics introduces a new line of Century HD lens accessories created especially to complement Sony’s new PMW-EX1 camcorder. These top-of-the-line optical attachments provide unprecedented image clarity, while enabling the camera to go wider, reach further, and move in closer than the lens alone will allow.

Available in March 2008, new Century accessories for the Sony PMW-EX1 include the .6X HD Wide Angle Adapter (#0HD-06WA-EX1), .75X HD Wide Angle Converter (#0HD-75CV-EX1), 1.6X HD Tele-Converter (#0HD-16TC-EX1), Super Fisheye HD Adapter (#0HD-FESU-EX1), and the Extreme Fisheye HD Adapter (#0HD-FEWA-EX1).

Produced by the top maker of professional add-ons, Century Pro Series HD lens accessories employ state-of-the-art optics to produce high-resolution images with low distortion, and superior contrast edge to edge. Multi-coated glass elements provide sharp images free of unwanted distortion or chromatic aberration. Units are equipped with a bayonet mount for quick and easy installation and removal from the front of the camera lens.

U.S. MSRP starts at $490.00.
