Wide Angled Adapter and Hood for gy-hm700 at DVinfo.net

I've purchased the Century wide angled adapter (0HD-08CV-JKT) and now looking for a suitable hood for it. Has anyone used the adapter with a hood they can recommend?

Perhaps this would work, but I'm not positive: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/274303-REG/Century_Precision_Optics_0DS_FA82_00_DSFA8200_Rectangular_Sunshade.html B&H has good tech support, you could ask them if it would work....

Thanks Myles,

I found the same hood after some research and received it last week. Your pics helped me orientate the hood the correct way.

Makes the camera look very sharp as well!

I have a polarizer on order for it too!

Cant wait !

I shot this with the wide angle on the Canon 14x lense.

Very Nice. Very clean 24p. Was the footage colorized? I'm interested in a polarizer as well. Trying to get over the price of Century's filter holder. Do you have a solution?

Thanks ! That was the first time I spent 6 hrs with 10 models and just shot them. The back lit window was a real challenge. I will probably re edit some of this. But thanks.

This one with the same lense but totally wish I had the polarizer.

I ordered a 4x4 polarizer that you cant rotate. Actually the guys I buy my equipment from ordered it. Other wise I would have to get one of the following:

68-013002 102MM LIN TRUE-POL NON-ROTATE $360.00. (The filter threads in and out)

Thanks for the reply. Your footage looks great regardless if you didnt have a polarizer

I'm looking to add filter and/or polarizer in the slot provided on the Century sunshade--it will accept a 4x4 filter. It looks like you're committed in having more control over your visuals wilth the potential of adding more than one filter.
