HVX 200
I need to shoot some footage with a very small depth of field
can I attach a further lens to the camera or is there another solution
appart from placing the camera far away from the subject and zooming in ?simon

Do you mean a teleconverter? Yes, I think Century Optics makes a good teleconverter for this camera.

There are two teleconvertes for the HVX200, both from Schnieder Optics. I have used the 1.6x, I own the 2.0x. Problem is, they’re not cheap, and you only have the second half of the zoom range to work with, due to vignetting from the lens.

If you want extremely shallow depth of field, look into a 35mm adapter such as the Letus35, Redrock M2, Brevis, SGPro or other.

Redrock’s come out with a new “flip” module that fits between the camera and their adapter, and takes care of flipping the image for you (so the camera displays/monitors and records rightside up). They were demonstrating it at the Panasonic booth at NAB.
