In situations where it is difficult, dangerous or even impossible to move in close, Century's 2x Tele-Extenders are the ideal solution. Easily mounting between your camera and lens, they double your lens focal length, allowing you to fill the frame with far-away action. Model XF-212B fits most 1/2" bayonet mount lenses (Panasonic and JVC), XF-2325 is for Sony 1/2" bayonet and the XF-223B is for 2/3" bayonet mount lenses.

Packaging Info
Package Weight0.72 lb
Box Dimensions (LxWxH)4.7 x 3.3 x 3.25"

With a 2x Tele-Extender, subjects that were previously out

of range will now fill the frame. Get a shot across a stadium or over water. Attaching easily, the 2x instantly converts a

9-144mm 16:1 zoom lens into a 18-288mm super telephoto zoom. One caveat though, doubling the focal length results in a two-stop reduction in the amount of light reaching the focal plane.

Characterized by their shallow depth-of-field, they also make it easy to isolate a subject from foreground and background. For example, wildlife videographers find this helpful when shooting an animal whose natural camouflage causes it to blend with its surroundings. Reduced depth-of-field is also effective in shooting past visual barriers, such as chain-link fences.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Apparently the clamp mount can unthread from the unit, what is the diameter of the native thread on the adapter?

A: It appears that the non-threaded clamp measures 93mm. If you have a lens that size or have a step up ring from a lens to 93mm, you can clamp on this wide angle adapter. Most likely you will need a step up ring such as the one attached here.

Q: 2. Can the OHD 16TC fit a Sony Pmw 200?

A: While not specifically listed for the PMW-200, accessories that work with the EX1 tend to work with the PMW-200 as well. This 1.6x Telephoto Converter Lens should work with the PMW-200.

Q: 3. can this teleconverter be adapted to the 82mm diameter G lens on a sony pxw-x180?

A: Sorry, but the 0HD-20TC-EX1 cannot be mounted on the the PXW-X180 for it has a bayonet mount and the camcorder does not. We would suggest the Raynox HDP-9000EX 1.8x High Definition Telephoto Conversion Lens B&H # RAHDP9000EX. You will need this adapter step-down ring. Ewa-Marine 72-82mm Lens Step-Up Ring B&H # EWRA7282. This lens weighs 29.1 oz (825g) so a 15mm LWS (Lightweight Support System) is recommended as well as a robust tripod and video head. The zoom magnification of the Sony PXW-X180 25x zoom is demanding as is and with the Raynox it will be 1.8x more so. a strong tripod is essential for keeping the image steady. The slightest touch, wind or ground vibration will affect the image otherwise.

Q: 4. Can this lens work with the Panasonic DVX200?

A: We're afraid not. This is designed to work with the HVX200, it will not work with the DVX200.

Q: 5. Will this work with JVC GY-HM850U?

A: According to Century Optics this should be compatible with the JVC GY-HM850.

Q: 6. The item, original packaging is - Schneider exterior carton- No. 68-885603?If not,can I buy at the B & H -Schneider filter holder 68-885603?regards

A: This is a genuine, in the box Schneider product.

Q: 7. will this fit a Sony HXR NX5?

A: Yes, the Century Precision Optics 0HD-16TC-Z7U has a 72mm thread size.

Q: 8. will this also fit a xf100?

A: No.

Q: 9. Hi, I'm using Sony PMW350K, the Fujinon kit lens do the back focus digitally which can be chosen from the menu. There is no way to do it manually. Can this adapter be used ?

A: This is a tele-extender that is solid and not adjustable. You cannot adjust back focus with it.

Q: 10. Will this convert the 0.7x Wide Angle Converter Lens for Sony HDR-FX1 to a 77mm threaded mount? If not is something available that will convert this wide angle lens to a standard threadmount so that I can put the beast to work with my cine lenses?

A: The Century Precision Optics 0.7x Wide Angle Converter Lens for Sony HDR-FX1 has a bayonet mount. I am unable to find any adapter ring that will enable you to to do that convert that mount to a screw in.Outside of one or two times with small format zooms and close up filters, I have never seen conversion lenses used for cine lenses. What you might consider then is selling your Wide Angle Converter and get an additional lens.

[0.72 lb] I bought this for my telephoto lenses, outdoor applications with Sony FS100 and Nikon D800. No softening, no green color cast. Also used it with my strobes indoors. Colors are true. Even better than my Heliopan Variable ND. It will last me a long time I am sure.

[0.72 lb] Purchased this lens prior to a Coues deer hunt in Mexico. The effective range for an EX1 in a hunting situation is about 300yds for a normal sized whitetail to be seen effectively. Coues deer are much smaller and I was picking them up effectively out to about 500yds. MUST HAVE for those needing long range video. Cons: HEAVY! The extra weight added to your camera will affect the way you move. Make sure your head can handle the extra weight and do not walk with this lens attached!

[0.72 lb] Normally I am not a fan of the fisheye but I really like the look of this one. Not overkill on the distortion and no vignette. Great Price as well!

[0.72 lb] I've waited about 2 years to save up to get this Converter. Got the HVX200 and I shoot lots of Surfing so you can imagine the frustration of trying to get great clips of guys surfing that looked like ants.. Im so close now.. and the depth that this lens gives the picture is so amazing.. i look at some test shot of filming birds and empty waves and it looks so so good. well worth the money.... I wish i would have got it soon.. If you shoot far away stuff gotta have it..

[0.72 lb] I remember a shooter had an older version of the same fisheye. He needed to fit a ring around the camcorder lens before putting the fisheye on. With this model, it's just a quick couple of twists and you're good to go. I find myself popping this on and off for a variety of different shots while on the move.

[0.72 lb] This lens doesn't lose any light like it says. I tested it in the field chasing planes in the sky. My biggest concern was that it would have made the stabilization fail in the HVX-200 or cause jittery shake. To my surprise and delight I don't notice much more than normal shake and I may be delusional, but It seems like the stabilization works better with the lens attached. I would recommend this lens if your looking to get closer to a subject or need that beautiful narrow depth of field look. Only semi-cons: obviously a 2.0x adapter is not going to be able to zoom through and this lens is no different, however you can zoom out some with no loss before seeing the black lens walls. The Lens really needs rail support if your going to be using this lens attached, it comes with the support but no rails. The camera will support the lens without, but it's a comfort factor you may want. Buy a UV filter for it, that glass is expensive. Overall: I would recommend this lens.
