HPX 170 + 35mm Adapter

[jabour]

Hi there!

Anyone using any 35mm adpater for the HPX 170?

I notice that the lens filter size of the 170 is 72mm and not 82mm like the 200.

We will be glad to hear your experiences...

regards

Brevis works on it great. Also the LEX fits well.

Check out "Cold Calls" in TwilightFest, that was shot on the HPX170 using a Letus Ultimate (with the HVX 82mm achromat, had to use a 72mm->82mm step-up ring).

The HPX170/Letus Ultimate is a good combination. Using the Letus achromat for the HVX200A yields better edge to edge focus with 170 than the 200A. The 200A has a different focus number in the center vs. sides/corners and is obvious in real life, not just charts.

The sharper LCD display of the 170 with three focus assists and waveform monitor are also helpful for 35mm DOF use. I like mounting a Panasonic LH80 on the 170 using the HD SDI out, and focus in red mode, but the 170's focus bar works well also.

The small size and lightweight of the 170 are also helpful when using a 35mm DOF adapter.

works just like an hvx200. just dont need the 82 to 72 step ring.
