  • close focus filters for PMW EX1

    Posted by Kevin Kerwin on February 7, 2008 at 5:20 pm

    Hi
    Does anybody have any experience yet doing close-focus work with the PMW? I have been searching for some close focus filters and can’t seem to find any that will fit the PMW.

    Thanks for the help.

    Kevin,

    Assuming the macro function isn’t enough if you can’t find the correct sized diopters for the EX lens, get a step up to Series9 and you can put anything you want in front, and It’ll work for you next camcorder as well.

    Get an Achromatic Diopter from Century Optics. Then, you’ll be able to shoot postage stamps, full frame.

    Thank you. I just received camera yesterday and we’re shooting with it Sunday. I wasn’t aware there was a macro function.
