No such thing on this camera. Only the Century 1.6 is worth getting.

Mo' money, Mo money', Mo' Money! :'( If you could only afford one, which would you buy: an anamorphic or the tele?
Thanks, Barry

Re: Best lo budget tele lens?
They're for entirely different uses. That's like asking "which would you buy: a screwdriver or a hammer?"
The anamorphic turns your footage into 16x9. The telephoto gives you some further telephoto reach (not a tremendous amount, as it's only 1.6x). Both lenses have their limitations: neither can be adapted well to use filters, the 1.6 has severe vignetting below Z60, etc.
If you want a 16x9 camera, get the anamorphic. If you want a telephoto extender, get the tele lens. If you have a 100A, you may be able to wait longer on the anamorphic because you may find Squeeze mode satisfactory.

Hammer, obviously! Especially if it's a leather wrapped Estwing...
but I don't know why you'd want to use it on your DVX, so maybe screwdriver is the right answer.

The Stanley AntiVibe hammers are as good as the technology gets! And Barry, you can use the claw end as a screwdriver in a pinch ;D
