16x9 Inc 169-HDVT15X-72

16x9 Inc. introduces the EX 1.5X, a top-of-the-line Tele Converter designed to enhance the performance of popular compact HD camcorders, including the Canon XH-A1/ & XH-G1. The latest in the 16x9 Inc. EX Collection of HD-quality lens accessories, the 1.5X simply threads onto the front of the camera lens, adding 1.5X magnification, moving the focal range in the telephoto direction.

Extreme Telephoto — Instantly & Simply
The original camera lens focal length 4.5-90mm shifts to 42-135mm, or the equivalent of a 35mm still lens with a range of 304.5-975mm.

Compact Comando
This lightweight (21 oz.), and compact (68mm long) production tool mounts to the front of the A1 and G1 lens via a 72mm screw-in thread. The Tele Converter's 72mm screw-in rear threads allow it to work equally well with similar sized camcorders. For professional shading solutions, the unit comes complete with a lightweight, round hood. The EX 1.5X lens front is threaded to accept either the complimentary hood, 86mm glass filters - or a combination of filter with the hood front mounted for even greater light control.

Innovative, Technically Advanced Design
The 16x9 Inc. EX Collection is engineered and built in Japan for optimum optical performance. The 1.5X features an innovative, technically advanced design employing an elegant assembly of five multi-coated elements. Low dispersion glass reduces chromatic aberrations and provides professional images with exceptional crispness and clarity.

Mattebox Compatible
For professional shading and filtering solutions, the EX Tele-Extender neatly interfaces with Alfred Chrosziel HDV mattebox systems.
