I have been using my JVC GY- HM790 camera for quite some time now and I really like the images it produces. However I do feel that my Canon 14X lens that came with the camera does not have the best optics. It is far better then the stock Fujinon 16X which used to come with the HD100 and 200 series but it suffers from cromatic abberration in high contrast situations.
So for the past month I have been trying to find and buy a different lens for it. However all the dealers I contact, cannot recommend any lenses that are better for it. They say this will always be a problem with 1/3 imagers. Therefore they are recommending to buy a different camera with bigger imagers.
So, going back and forth, I decided to look for a PL- lens instead for my JVC HZ-CA13U PL- adaptor, and landed on the Digioptical DO1850M 18-50 mm T3 PL mount- zoom lens, which looks really nice. Upon contacting the salesreps they gave me answer I cannot understand.
"The JVC HZ-CA13U is for the HD200 only not the canon bayonet on the HM790. It means the HZ-CA13U is not meant for the GY-HM790U. You can use the MTF adapter for PL mount lens and other Canon bayonet lenses will be fine as well and you can use the Letus35 adapter for 35mm lens. There are also 1/3 lens adapters from canon that can be used as well"
I cannot for the life of me understand that the top model HM790 cannot use other and better lenses that would give it even better images. I have only been looking at 1/3 inch lenses including the HTS series by Fujinon.
Any help or input is really appreciated.
