Product Description

Century proudly presents the totally redesigned Mark II .3X Fisheye for DV Cameras. Available in popular bayonet and screw in mounts, this high-performance optic features dramatically improved optics and a lens-saving front shade/protector assembly.

The .3X Ultra Fisheye Adapter offers an extreme fisheye effect and a high degree of barrel distortion. It exaggerates depth by pulling nearby objects closer and causing distant objects to recede into the background. On the Sony DCR VX-2000, the.3X Ultra Fisheye Adapter yields a horizontal viewing angle of 130 degree (180 degree, measured diagonally).

With small digital cameras and the Century Fisheye, capturing extreme action shots is dramatic and practical. With its almost total depth of field and unmistakable style, this adapter is a must for action sports shooters.

I only use it once cauz' i just recently bought it.It's a good lense except you can not zoom it. My guess is, it's because it's a wide angle lense. But besides that, it's a nice lense to have if you want some special effect in your clip.

Can't tell you how well the lens performs because after dealing with "47th Street Photo" for one month I still don't have a working lens. They have turned out to be both unprofessional and disreputable. First lens I received was damaged. Sent back to them and they received it shattered -- assumed I sent it to them that way without even the decency of a phone call to me -- and turned the package around and resent it to me. This action by them has now voided my rights to a claim with UPS. Beware -- dealing with 47th Street Photo may turn out to be a nightmare for you too!
