The RedEye


Here’s a filter/adapter I’ve kept in my bag for years.  I hate wide angle adapters because they soften the image, cause ugly light flares and make the camera front heavy.  But the RedEye is different, first it’s made by a DOP, Rene Collins... he’s kept the adapter extremely light... it fits under the lens hood and because it’s just one piece of glass, the image stays sharp.  I use it when my lens just isn’t wide enough or a handheld walking shot.  It’s not a zoom-thru, so it’s used with the lens zoomed out to it’s widest position.

With the .7x adapter, the power on most camera lenses will be increased by 30%, the .5x adapter increases the power by 50%, and the .4x is 60%


The Red Eye™ is about the size of a filter and weighs less than 100 grams. The bulk and weight have been eliminated by using a durable and compact, high index, high clarity optical material which substantially reduces the size and weight of the lens. All Red Eye™ wide angle adapters feature a multi-layer anti-reflective coating to increase light transmission to near 100% for optimum image clarity, contrast and sharpness. In addition, hard coatings offer an extra degree of scratch resistance and improve water repellency. The lens housing is anodized aluminum and uses standard 62mm, 72mm, 77mm or 82mm thread mount. Each lens comes with its own hand-crafted padded leather case.


One advantage of the Red Eye™ is that it can be used with your existing lens hoods and matte boxes. In most cases, simply screw the Red Eye™ adapter on your lens and attach the lens shade. Some lens shades require that the Red Eye™ be mounted with the shade attached.

The Fujinon ACM-21 is a lens adapter for the 1/2" CMOS chip PMW-EX3 camcorder. This adapter allows the 1/2" chip camera to utilize high quality 2/3" Fujinon lenses using the B-Mount.

• Camcorders

This adapter will work with the Sony PMW-EX3 with 1/2" CMOS chips.

Broadcast lenses used with 2/3" HD cameras feature optics and image depth that is at a much higher quality than lenses designed for 1/2" camcorders. The upgrade in lens quality will upgrade the image to levels unprecedented in the 1/2" chip realm.
 

1/2” to 2/3” Lens Adapter

Canon LO-32BMT


The Canon LO-32BMT adapter allows you to mount a 2/3" B4 bayonet lens onto any Sony 1/2" proprietary mount camera such as the new XDCAM HD series, PDW-F330/F350 while not affecting the optical quality of the lens. It is important to consider the following information when using a 2/3" lens with a LO-32BMT adapter mounted to a 1/2" camera:


    1. The images produced will appear visually more telephoto by a factor of 1.38x.

    2. The actual F-Number of a lens does not change when mounted on a different format size camera.  (If the lens is F1.9 in the 2/3 "format, the lens is also F1.9 in the 1/2" format.)

    3. The Focal Length and F-Stop markings on the 2/3” lens are correct in either format.

    4. It is highly recommended that HDTV lenses always be employed on HDTV cameras.

  1. Ideal for use with:

    1. PDW-F330L / PDW-F335L

    2. PDW-F350L / PDW-F355L


Focal Length:
When using a 2/3” lens with a LO-32BMT adapter mounted to a 1/2” camera, the actual focal length of the lens does not change. However, the angle of view associated with that focal length changes.  In this case, the lens will visually be more telephoto, by a factor of 1.38x. As an example, the 2/3” KJ20x8.5B HDTV lens (58.90 angle of view at 8.5mm when mounted on a 2/3” camera) will visually appear to have a 44.60 angle of view, that equates to an equivalent focal length of 11.7mm (8.5mm x 1.38 = 11.7mm)

 

Nikon Lens To EX3 Adapter

Adaptimax Plus


The Adaptimax Plus is CNC milled from high grade aluminium, before being anodised. It is then fitted out with an extremely hard wearing brass Nikon mount which is then chrome plated for even longer durability. Unlike our rivals who use an aluminium mount which quickly shows signs of wear, our brass bayonet is built to last.


The Adaptimax Plus is designed for all Nikon lenses, including the DX and G series of Nikon lenses which do not have an external aperture ring. It has a specially designed built in thumbscrew which can open and close the shutter of DX and G glass lenses.

Take a look at the mounting end of one of these DX or G lenses and you will see a small lever which opens and closes the shutter of the lens. Our elegantly designed thumbscrew opens and closes this lever so you can adjust the exposure easily by the eye.

The Adaptimax Plus gives a magnification factor of X5.4, which makes these adaptors perfect for shooting wildlife or macro. You can now get the shots that are impossible with the stock Sony PMW-EX3 lens. Fit on a 80-200 2.8, or 300mm F4 Nikon on the camera and the results will astound you.
