v1 wide angle attaching filters?
have just ordered my v1 and was wondering about attaching filter to w/a lens (sony one which comes with hood).
i rarely take w/a off any of my cameras - in fact, other than for the odd clean, my w/a has been on my pd170 for the last four years. but with that one there was no way of attaching a filter. apparently the w/a for the v1 has a 86mm thread (?), but in the blurb, it reads as if i have to use either the hood OR a filter, not both together. could anyone confirm how to use a filter on the w/a with/out hood? thanks in advance leslie |
Apart from a matte box no go, no thread on the lens.
The Century 0.65 WA lens is not only a more useful lens than the Sony, it's got a thread on the front, costs around the same, is lighter and claimed to loose less light. And it's a zoom through adaptor like the Sony. |
The Sony VCL-HG0862K comes with a 86mm thread up front
You can fit a 86mm filter under the hood, bit tight with the thicker Tiffens but fine with the Hoya types Cheers |
Bob,
Which Century adaptor are you talking about? Is it one specifically for the V1 or are you talking about using another model with step rings? |
hi, i got myself this one, thought i would take a gamble and i will admit i haven't shot with it yet but i have had it on the camera and linked to my hdtv and it looks fine

Tony can you zoom thru this lens? does have threads on the outside?
Thanks Bob |
yes you can zoom through to get a decent dof, and yes it has a 82mm thread on the outside which i have a filter on.

Yes they announced a couple of lenses at NAB for the V1. Apart from the teleconverters there's two W.A. lenses. One 0.55 that's non zoom through and a 0.65 that is zoom through. I think there was a fisheye as well but it's the 0.65 W.A. that's the most interesting. Ok, here ya go: http://www.schneideroptics.com/ecomm...=1386&IID=6225 |
OK now we have the Raynox HD7062PRO coming out in May i believe, and the Sony VCL-HG0862, and now the Century 0HD-65CV-SH6 lens which, according to the picture on the website Bob posted above, looks like it was designed for the V1/FX7.
Question : I cant find the thread diameter anywhere on the Century specs. I would assume it IS 62mm, but they have a diagram that says the rear EXTERNAL diameter is 80mm, but no indication as far as i can see of the thread size. I guess it must be 62mm, but strange that they dont state that. Anyone know for sure? |
