  • Need help finding camera part

    Posted by Don Wilson on January 17, 2007 at 11:26 pm

    I have given up trying to deal with Panasonic’s parts people. It amazes me how clueless they are as to replacment parts for the HVX. Anyway, I need to find a replacment outer lens element for our HVX200. TSA put a nice gash in it for us and didn’t even charge us for it.

    Thanks for any advise.

    You can call Abelcine Tech or Nivie Electronics. Both know cameras well, keep replacement parts in stock and definitely can help you.

    Did you not have a UV filter on the lens? It’s a good idea to keep a UV filter on all your lenses to protect them from scratches, etc- a broken UV filter is quick & cheap to replace.

    OK OK, I get the UV filter. We had a matte box on the camera with a clear filter to protect it. TSA took the camera out of the case to “inspect” it and knocked the matte box off and scratched the outer element in doing so.
