[Nuub44]

Hey guys i just got a dvx100band now i need a zoom lens. i will be filming surfing so i need something that can handle some movement. got any suggestions?

DVX is a fixed lens camera... You can't pop on another lens without using something like a 35mm adapter.

Unless I'm not understanding you.

I think he may be meaning a telephoto adapter like this or this perhaps
Century make real good glass

 

[Jason Ramsey]

ah... well, if he is... 16x9 or century would be good options to look at.

Hmmm.....thanks for the info....I intend on filming surfing as well, here in Hawaii. I wish I could experiment with each one, to see how much of a difference it makes before I dish out more $$$. I just got my camera today so I have not went shooting yet, so I'm not sure if I will even need it. Good thing lots of the waves here break close to shore....Not all of them do though, so I'm sure I will eventually need something to boost my "reach." So do you have a link to the cheapo lens, so I can compare features with the high prices ones? Thanks for all your help everyone!
