EXII 0.75X Wide Converters

16×9 Inc.’s new EXII 0.75X Wide Converter is designed with flexibility in mind, fitting more cameras and lenses than the first-generation converter. And, continuing 16×9 Inc.’s aggressive pricing structure for the EXII series, the EXII 0.75X is priced well below the original EX 0.75X (which retailed for $995 U.S.), yet still offers unsurpassed HD-quality optics.

Featuring four glass elements, the compact and lightweight EXII 0.75X Wide Converter provides 25% more extreme angle of view over the stock lens and maintains full zoom-through capability with cameras that have auto focus. Cutting-edge optics reduce geometric (barrel) distortion and improve off-axis performance, particularly chromatic aberrations and flatness of field.

The EXII 0.75X Wide Converter comes in 62, 72, 77 and 82mm threaded mounts that fit a variety of popular HD and HDV cameras from Canon, Panasonic and Sony. Also, new for the EXII 0.75X is the availability of multiple bayonet mounts for even more applications.

Front Diameter: 98mm

Filter Thread: 105mm round filter - Requires Rubber Lens Shade (Not Included)
