The Century Optics Ultra Fisheye Adapter – Digital Series Mk1 is a high-performance wide-angle conversion lens engineered primarily for broadcast and prosumer digital video cameras with small front elements. This non-zoom-through fisheye adapter delivers an ultra-wide 180-degree field of view (diagonal) when paired with compatible lenses, while maintaining full-frame edge-to-edge image coverage without vignetting on most camcorder setups.

Constructed with multi-coated glass elements, the adapter ensures high transmission and minimizes internal reflections, delivering optical clarity and maximum contrast even in high-contrast lighting environments. The design features low distortion control in the center with a deliberate fisheye curvature toward the edges, offering a distinctive hemispherical look ideal for action sports, skateboarding, B-roll, and other dynamic, immersive shooting applications.

The housing is precision-machined aluminum, ensuring tight tolerances and robust mechanical stability. It typically mounts via a bayonet or threaded system, depending on the camera or lens setup, and is compatible with a range of 1/3” and 1/4” sensor DV camcorders when used with the correct step rings or mount kits.

The Mk1 version is notable for its optical consistency and rugged build, which made it a preferred tool in the early 2000s digital video scene, especially among filmmakers and commercial shooters seeking maximal spatial compression and a unique visual signature.
