WA Glass for Z1
Hello Everyone
I'm a newbe here, so if this question has been answered previously w/other threads, please post the links. Thanks, in advance. Have been using a Z1 for several months. Shoot a lot of documentary-style close, group activity programs and need a wider view than the attached Zeiss glass can deliver. Am considering the Century .8 WA, the Sony WA, and the 16X9 .7 WA. I would like to maintain a very sharp image as these programs will be released in a variety of formats including Blueray, DVD HD. Anyone out there with any experience w/the above WA glass choices? Have been very impressed w/your collective ability to deliver honest concise and relevant info. on this web site. Keep up the great work! Thanks Doug Mayor |
I have the 16x9 WA and it seems to be pretty nice. It's not quite as crisp as without it but that's expected.
I can post some clips if you'd like. |
I've had the Sony WA since I bought my Z1, 18 months ago. It's never taken off. Great piece of glass.
But I couldn't compare it to any other adaptor. What I would say is I have compared Sony WA HG adaptor to a Optex model for my Sony VX2000 and the Sony won hands down, with less CA and lens flare from lighting on set. |

WA Glass for Z1
Thanks so much, Boyd et als. I believe that you've opened my eyes to the real WA possibilities available.
This makes so much more sense to go w/.6 or .5 WA glass. Appreciate all the links to previous threads. Doug |
