century optics 1.6x tele & dof w/dvx100b

[robfilms]

i'm new to the dvx100b.

i'm wondering how effective using the century optics 1.6x tele is in throwing the background out of focus.

longer tele = narrower dof = images beyond focus point with be "soft".

those who have used the century 1.6x tele, have u been successful?

thanks in advance

be well

ps- what is your opinion of the century .7 wide angle lens?

The .7 "converter" lens lets you zoom through compared to a .6 "adapter" which does not. It alows for 30% wider shot.

PS. I think it weighs more than my camera+battery lol!! So if your doing hand held and not doing much zoom you might want to get the adpter... It depends on what you want to shoot
