Fisheye for HVX200

[Sektor]

Hey... i need help... i need a fisheye for the HVX200 quickly... any idea where i can get one... i checked in B & H, but they are out of shiping until the 28th april... i need it as soon as possible... so???

(Note: I'm sorry about my english)

Which fisheye are you looking for? If it is one of the Century Optics models, they have a dealer locator on their website.

I use the 16x9inc. .75x

Excellent quality and sharp all the way to the edges.

 

[Joe Lawry]

.75.. that cant really be classed as a fish can it? .3 and wider should be the norm..

 

[Justyn]

For the HVX it's actually either the .45 super fish by 16x9 or the .55 by century. I have the century and fine it more usueful and not as "fishy" and specialized. The century is more of an extreme wide and I use it all the time.

I use the 16x9 Inc Super Fisheye. It's OK... some issues around the edges, but not horrible.

 

[Justyn]

Arges, do you have any footie with the 16x9?

Nice pieces. Like the performance school piece a lot. I would love to have the .45 and the century I have but a tele converter is next on the list.



Your roomate must have been pissed at that.. Funny stuff there. Go cannucks! whatever that means.

Thanks.

Additionally, I used the the .6 Century for MANY of the shots in the performing arts video.

hi justyn. I've heard good feedback from ppl using this one:

The 0.55 Century seems like the way to go, not too wide so useable for certain professional applications. But still wide enough for extreme sports.

Has anyone tried the Cavision 0.4x? cheaper yes, but i wonder what the fish effect is like.

As nice as the 16x9 0.45x looks i dont like the fact you have to step down to a 72mm thread to attach it. This has got to be the reason that with certain hvxs (well most) you see slight vignetting on the left hand side.

But then again, guess you cant have everything, even centurys extreme fish vignettes...

 

[THoff]

Schneider and Century Optics are the same company/product line.

 

[Justyn]

YEP. I have the .55 and it's a sweet piece. I find that it's a better choice than the .6 except if you have to zoom. That .6 is HEAVY...

 

[THoff]

That .6 is HEAVY...

The nice thing about the Schneider/Century optics is that they attach to the bayonet mount of the HVX rather than being threaded on -- that's a much more robust and durable method, and is much quicker too.

 

[RUSKA]

anyone have any century super fisheye footy?

 

[Justyn]

the 3000 extreme fisheye?
