Schneider Optics introduces a new line of Century Pro Series HD lens accessories to complement and enhance the performance of 43mm front lens thread camcorders like the Canon HV20/HV30 and Panasonic AG-HSC1U.

To expand the wide-angle capabilities of the camcorders, this line includes the .5X HD Wide Angle Adapter (#HD-05WA-43), the lightest and most economical way to increase coverage. For zoom-through wide angles, there’s the 65X Wide Angle HD Converter (#HD-65CV-43). And for super wide exaggerated angles that have made Century the hero of extreme shoots everywhere, there’s the .3X HD Ultra Fisheye Adapter (#HD-FEWA-43).

The Century top-grade optical attachments feature multi-coated glass elements for crisp, high-resolution images and superior contrast edge to edge. Units thread neatly to the front of the 43mm camera lens. For cameras with 37mm front threads, a 37mm to 43mm Step-up ring (#FA-3743-00) is included at no extra charge.
