Just spoke with Century Optics about their accys for the HVX:
If you have a C.O. rail-type matte-box designed for the DVX100A or Z1U/FX1 (as I do) the locating pin on the mounting bracket will not fit - it's too big. The "widescreen" matte-box itself, the side wings and large french flag will work just fine, you just need the appropriate mounting plate and lens-alignment card.
The bracket designed for the HVX is in the works but no exact release date is available, although they hinted at "soon".
The 1.6x Tele-adapter will be available in a few weeks; all the wide to fisheye lenses won't be out until probably March.
