Schneider Optics has introduced a new line of Century HD lens accessories to complement Sony’s new PMW-EX1 camcorder. The optical attachments are designed to provide image clarity while enabling the camera to go wider and move in closer than the lens alone will allow.

The new Century accessories for the Sony PMW-EX1 include: the .6X HD wide angle adapter; .75X HD wide angle converter; 1.6X HD tele-converter; Super Fisheye HD adapter; and the Extreme Fisheye HD adapter.

Century Pro Series HD lens accessories employ state-of-the-art optics geared to producing high-res images with low distortion, and superior contrast edge to edge. Multi-coated glass elements provide sharp images free of unwanted distortion or chromatic aberration. Units are equipped with a bayonet mount for fast installation and removal. The new line will be available in March.
