Overview

The Sony VX2100E is widely regarded as one of the greatest low-light MiniDV camcorders ever made. Known for its clean highlights, deep shadows, and rich color reproduction, it became the go-to camera for filmmakers and skate videographers looking for that unmistakable 2000s video look.

Century Optics MK2 Fisheye – Additional Product Details

This listing includes the legendary Century Optics MK2 Ultra Fisheye (0.3×) — a highly sought-after professional fisheye converter known for its extreme wide-angle coverage, crisp edge-to-edge sharpness, and classic VX-style distortion. Ideal for skate filming, action work or creative close-proximity shooting, this lens produces the iconic look associated with early-2000s DV cinematography.

This unit is used and shows cosmetic signs of handling, but remains fully functional. The optics have no scratches or cracks; only minor blemishes on the anti-glare coating are present, and these do not affect the captured image in any noticeable way during real-world shooting.

Originally designed for bayonet mounting, this lens has been professionally adapted to support thread-mount setups.

  • Currently included with a 58 mm thread adapter (ready for VX2100E / VX2000 / PD150 etc.)

  • Also compatible with 72 mm cameras using the appropriate additional step-up ring

  • Secure thread-mount configuration ensures reliable attachment without play

Combined with the Sony VX2100E, this fisheye creates a ready-to-film classic setup ideal for skate videography, low-angle work, street documentary, and wide-field creative shooting.
