Zunow WEX-075A Aspherical Wide Conversion Lens and Shade with Sony Bayonet Mount.

Zunow introduces the WEX-075A Aspherical Wide Conversion Lens-the first wide converter to bring the benefits of aspheric technology to DV and HDV cameras, The top-quality optical solution for getting wider angle images from Sony's popular new PMW-EX1 and EX3 camcorders, the Zunow WEX-075A provides a 25% greater angle of view while maintaining full zoom capability.

The Zunow Aspherical Wide Conversion Lens innovative, advanced technical design employs a state-of-the-art aspheric lens element to more effectively reduce geometric distortion and chromatic aberrations and improve off-axis wide angle performance. Utilization of the aspheric lens surface allows the other elements of the converter to be smaller and lighter-without it, the aspheric elements would have to be larger to achieve the same level of performance. This helps keep the unit's size and weight at a minimum, making it especially well suited for handheld work.

The lens contains a total of four multi-coated optical glass elements-including the asphere lens. The lightweight, compact optical accessory attaches securely to the front of the EX1 and EX3 via a convenient bayonet mount. Installation and removal is quick and easy. For professional shading and light control, the WEX-075A Aspheric Wide Conversion Lens is fully compatible with the HU-104 Rubber Lens Shade. Attaching firmly to the front of the converter through a handy quick-lock mechanism, the Zunow broadcast-style shade is designed to hold a 105mm round filter. In addition, the WEX-075A interfaces beautifully with popular mattebox and sunshade systems.
