Press Release

Schneider Optics announces a new line of Century lens accessories
created especially to complement Panasonic’s new HVX200 camcorder.
These new professional add-ons provide unprecedented image clarity,
while enabling the HVX200 to go wider, reach further, and move in
closer than the lens alone will allow.
New Century lens add-ons for the HVX200 include the .6X Wide Angle
Adapter, .75X Wide Angle Converter, Super Fisheye Adapter, 1.6X
Tele-Converter, and Achromatic Diopters in strengths of +1.6, +2.0,
+2.6. State-of-the-art optics produce high-resolution images with low
distortion, and superior contrast edge to edge. Multi-coated glass
elements provide sharp images free of unwanted distortion or chromatic
aberration. Most accessories are equipped with a bayonet mount for
quick and easy installation.
The Century Cine Style Manual Focus and Zoom Gear facilitate accurate,
repeatable focusing and zooming when using cine-style follow-focus and
zoom control systems. The markable white focus gear fits neatly over
the lens’ focus ring. The segmented zoom gear attaches to the camera’s
zoom ring, enabling the use of popular zoom control motors. For
professional light management and filtering, the Century DV Wide Angle
Matte Box MK II and Century Sunshade are now fully compatible with the
Panasonic HVX200.
