16x9 Inc. 169-HDWC7X-46 EXII 0.7x Wide Angle Converter (46mm)
16x9's 169-HDWC7X-46 EXII Wide Angle Converter is an HD-quality 0.7x add-on lens designed specifically for camcorder lenses using a 46mm filter thread. Providing a 30% wider field of view so you can capture more on-camera action, the converter's full zoom-through capability translates to no edge vignetting at any point along the zoom range. With three multi-coated glass elements to keep barrel distorton and chromatic aberrations to a minimum, the EXII also offers an improved design and lighter weight over previous EX versions. Its threaded front accepts any 67mm filter, with compatibility extending to Chrosziel sunshades and matteboxes--allowing for high-quality imagery in virtually any shooting environment.
- Compact and Lightweight Design
- Weighing only 5.1 oz, the EXII 0.7X Wide Converter significantly reduces weight compared to other wide converters, a critical advantage for camera operators shooting handheld.
- Wider Coverage & Full Zoom Thru
- The EXII 0.7X Wide Converter provides 30% more angle of view over the stock lens and maintains full zoom-thru capability.
- Highest Optical Standard
- Cutting-edge optics reduce geometric (barrel) distortion and improve off-axis performance, particularly chromatic aberrations and flatness of field.
- Filtering Solutions
- For greater light control, the lens front is threaded to accept 67mm glass filters.
- Shading Solutions
- For a great shading solution, 16x9 Inc. offers an optional lightweight Rubber Lens Shade. For professional filter solutions, the EXII 0.7X neatly interfaces with Chrosziel mattebox systems.

A must for the JVC GY-HM100U. Lightweight. Great zoom through. Slight vignetting, but acceptable. Only wish it was wider!!! Reasonably priced, too. Don't forget the lens shade.

Comments about 16x9 Inc. 169-HDWC7X-46 EXII 0.7x Wide Angle Converter (46mm):
I was looking for a good wide angle converter for my Panasonic TM-700 camcorder and this 16/9 EX II is great compromise between optical performance/weight/price and versatility.
It performs well optically, allows to be zoomed through without too much degradation, don't add too much weight and even has a front thread for an optional filter. The only drawback is that the matching hood sold by 16/9 cannot attach once a B+W filter is fitted on the wide angle. If the hood attached differently it could work. I hope 16/9 will redesign their hood attachment to address this.
