When you need to get a wider angle of view, add the Super Fisheye
Adapter. The Super Fisheye produces an extraordinary degree of barrel
distortion with a magnification factor of approximately .55x. It comes
in our popular Bayonet Mount that attaches with a twist to the front of
the lens.
While extreme telephoto shots tend to flatten the subject against
the background, the Super Fisheye exaggerates depth, pulling nearby
objects closer and causing distant objects to recede into the
background. Due to the Super Fisheye Adapter's characteristic barrel
distortion, extreme low and high-angle shots are made more dramatic. An
attic crawl space induces heightened claustrophobia. A forest of tall
skyscrapers bend menacingly over the audience.
Because the Century Super Fisheye takes in a much wider angle of
view than the human eye, it may be used to visually plunge the audience
into a scene, surrounding them with a noisy crowd or exiling them to a
lonely beach.
This Century Precision Optics 0HD-FESU-EX1 Fisheye Adapter Lens
is optimized for the Sony PMW-EX1 camcorder. The Fisheye produces an
extraordinary degree of barrel distortion with a magnification factor
of approximately 0.55x. This lens will mount with a bayonet directly to
the lens of the PMW-EX1.
