Do you have it oriented correctly?
If you aim at a circle...it should now look a like a vertically skinny oval in your viewfinder/lcd. [And not a flattened oval]. |

Cavision makes a variety of lens shades, maybe one of them will work?
http://www.cavision.com/LensHood/sunshade.htm Century also makes some clamp-on models, I have one for my .6x and 1.6x convertors. Don't think they're listed on the website however - try giving them a call. |

Filters for use with a Century 16:9 Anamorphic Lens?
Is a matte box the only option for filters when using the Century wide screen lens?
Is there anything else? Bob T.

Century makes several sizes of clamp-on lens shades but I don't believe they're listed on their website. Give them a call and see what's available. I think Cavision makes some as well.

Century GL1/2 16:9 adapter for $99.00 at Schneider optics
Schneider optics, who now owns Century optics is listing their GL1/2 16:9 adapter for $99.00....
Link here: Century 16:9 adapter I'd order one myself, but I already have one.... I guess they are just dumping inventory on older cameras....they have the same price on the Sony VX2100 adapter.... Bob T.

Now if they'd only offer the full zoom-through version for that price....

From their specs, looks like it gives about 8x zoom range, and nets to abut 12% wider field of view than the standard lens, vs 33%wider were it full zoom through at the wide end.
Bob: Wonder how people like it who may have a higher price? Sounds like at $99 you think it is a good deal.

It is practically a permanent part of my camera.... I much prefer 16:9 and I rarely need full zoom. A buddy of mine just ordered one for his VX2100... Bob

You got it right. We are looking to unload a lot of 16:9 and other pieces. I will keep everyone informed as other deals happen. We also have monthly deals on our front page for filter sales. 70%+ off. Ryan Avery Schneider Optics |

Thanks for filling us in Ryan...
Hope I didn't steal your thunder by posting this, but there are a lot of used Canon GLs and Sony VXs being bought by beginners on a budget, (like myself), and it's one heck of a lens for $99.00.... Bob T.
