velocityphoto 0 #2 March 8, 2005 Buy the .3 from here( http://www.royal-lens.com/) zoom it and manually focus it to your liking good luck!

bob.dino 1 #3 March 8, 2005 Or from Waycool. Really low profile, nice lenses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiveoc 0 #4 March 8, 2005 best quality and low profile to not really commenserate. best quality = Century optics, but it is bigger and heavier and more easily damaged. far superior piece of glass than others though, and i have seen them compared side by side. josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eUrNiCc 0 #6 March 10, 2005 ^^I have a Century Optics .3 on my pc9. It gives a really really nice crisp shot, and the 180degree range is just awesome. I have some really neat video from a 8 way hybrid a few weeks ago in which i was a hanger with the camera topmounted. The 3 other hangers (on chest straps), and all 4 belly fliers were in frame. I'll try to upload that to skydivingmovies.com soon. The downside is that the thing is frikin huge. It's about 3'' across, which makes it pretty much top mount only (at least as far as i can figure). Does anyone else use a century?Egad, A BASE life defiles a bad age. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
