View Full Version : Wide angle adapter for Canon YH16x7 IX12 Asaf Benatia March 1st, 2008, 01:18 AM Hello all, I'm working with the pana DVC200 with the Canon YH16x7 IX12 lens. I wanted to know which Wide angle adapter i can use with this lens. Thanks in advance. Asaf Ivan Snoeckx March 1st, 2008, 07:57 AM Hi Asaf, The wide angle adapters form Canon itself are very expensive. They cost more then the lens you own. Maybe it would be better to purchase a new lens instead of adding a Canon adapter. Canon's wide converter W 80 HD + 85 II adapter ($4.840 + $370 list price) Or Canon's wide attachment WA 75 HD + 85 II adapter ($2.2910 + $370 list price) Schneider Optics also makes very good adapters. http://www.schneideroptics.com/century/broadcast/YH17x7KRS.htm The page says YH17x7KRS, but I guess that must be wrong because that lens doesn't exist.

Thanks in advance. Asaf Asaf, Below is the .8x (20% wider, zoom through) lens that you need. The 85mm clamp-on adapter ring is included: http://www.schneideroptics.com/ecommerce/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?CID=1085&IID=1366 We also make a .5x wide angle and a Fisheye if you are interested.
