Century 16:9 converter lens	Can't Post

I have a Century 16:9 converter lens for the Sony PD 150, vx2000
and vx1000, DV camcorders for sale. The lens is in pristine condition. Got it with the PD150 last month, and have no need for it. Asking $525.00 and I pay shipping.
If interested respond to jay at:

Hi,
No need for it? Did you finally figured out that you can 16:9 on the VX200 and the PD150?

If you want to shoot 16:9 that actually uses all of the resolution of your camera then you will definitely need said lens as the "trick" electronic widescreen on these cameras reduces your resolution quite signifigantly.

I have a question about the Century 16:9 converter lens [In reply to]	Can't Post

Is there a screw on 16:9 conversion lens available? Also, can anyone who has used the lens comment on the image (sharpness) and also the zooming capabilities. Is there a viewfinder adapter that stretches the converted image so that the shot looks normal?
