Schneider Optics introduces a full array of professional Century HD lens accessories to complement Sony’s HVR-Z7U and HVR-S270OU camcorders. These 72mm lightweight optical attachments provide high resolution image clarity, while enabling the camera to go wider, reach further, and move in closer than the lens alone will allow.

New Century accessories for the HVR-Z7U include the .6X HD Wide Angle Adapter (#HD-06WA-Z7U), Fisheye HD Adapter MKII (#HD-FEAD-Z7U), .3X HD Ultra Fisheye Adapter (#HD-FE3X-Z7U), and 1.6X HD Tele-Converter (#HD-16TC-Z7U).

Produced by the top maker of professional add-ons, Century Pro Series HD lens accessories employ state-of-the-art optics for 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 sure installation and removal from the front of the camera lens.

U.S. MSRP starts at $490.00. For more information on Century accessories for popular DV, HDV, and broadcast cameras, contact: Schneider Optics, 7701 Haskell Avenue, Van Nuys, CA 91406, telephone (818) 766-3715; fax (818) 505-9865; www.schneideroptics.com
