Review Summary
Century Pro Series HD 2x Tele-Converter for Panasonic HVx200, AG DVx100A/B and Sony HVR-Z1U, HDR-Fx1 Created in response to requests for a tele-converter offering even greater magnification than the popular Century Pro Series 1.6x, the Pro Series HD 2x incorporates leading-edge computer design technology to provide extreme magnification while maintaining the advanced performance required by today's higher resolution formats.
This new professional optic instantly mounts to the camcorder lens front to effectively double focal length range in the telephoto direction, while retaining the lens' original F-stop at full telephoto. Like all Century Pro Series professional lens accessories, the 2x employs Schneider Optics multi-coated glass elements to deliver ultra-sharp images, free of unwanted distortion or chromatic aberration.
The Tele-Converter interfaces directly with the bayonet mount at the front of the lens for quick and easy installation and removal. A lens support slider is slider is provided for secure mounting onto standard 15mm support rods. Equipped with a 105mm diameter front, the 2x Tele Converter is compatible with many popular shades, matteboxes and accessories.
To ensure minimal flare and stray light, the new attachment ships complete with a lightweight round shade with a built-in rectangular mask. For even greater protection, the face of the unit offers 102mm threads for direct attachment of Schneider 102mm clear UV filters.
