Front Element remove of the Century Mk2 Fisheye

[360flippedupeltoro69]

DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF AN OPTEKA FRONT ELEMENT WOULD FIT IN THE CENTURY HOUSING? (opteka titanium and century optics mk2)

[jablowm3]

Second song reminds of super smash bros for some reason hahaha

[thebmxican6]

@thecabbahood wut

[sidewalksurfer562]

@MacFilmProductions that's why you don't get that cheap opteka shit. You get what you pay for and those lenses are cheaply made. Century Optics all the way!

[AlleyKatKid]

@sidewalksurfer562 my opteka 52mm got kicked off of my vx, ripping my VAP completely off. Not a single scratch. opteka rules. Just wait till they come out with their own mk1.

[MacFilmProductions]

i need to replace the front element on my opteka 52mm death lens and it wont come off.....any suggestions?

[VX1media]

@MacFilmProductions smash it

[quadrider454]

MF doom!

[MackTheFilmer]

the ring around the front element wont come off on mine. is there a good way to loosen it?

[SubZerohp920]

Today when my mk2 came it the front element fell out during shipping so if i wasnt for me watching this video a week prior then i wouldve been screwed but thanks to you i fixed it

[mikeneilfilms]

the ring on mine is stuck at a certain point.

[bakerjose]

do you need to hae that thing you took out 1st the not the glass its self

[Braulio258]

Whats the name of the first song?

[ollieGinDAhouse]

does anyone know if mk2 mods are supposed to fit vx2100s? and how do i keep it from falling off???

[audddy8]

where can you buy a new frontal element!?!?!!?

[Mrskater13100]

should have gotten a raymod

[skimcty28]

mf DOOOM!!!

[jesusask8]

what was the point of that?

[javieralza]

i like that lens, it screws on from the outside, very worth getting

[arathan23]

Are All Those Lens Hit On Your Camera?

[KingBoshua]

ur poor camera

[PestVic]

that was the most annoying music ever. haha but good vid

[DionnetBhatti]

is there anyway to buy just the front element glass? incase you scratched your old one?

[alecbaldwin777]

@DionnetBhatti If you haven't figured out yet yes their is a way and you can get a good one from century optics or opteka.

[NtnseSkatr]

i need one of those

[fakieflip100]

This is so hard without a clamp.

[bootytickle326]

hey whats the actuall song of this??? cant seem to find it

[rikishi0062]

you all are fucking retarded because the mk1 dose not come with a sunshade and the lens cap is bent on the top not completely flat

[eliik432]

the songs are just metal fingers instrumentals

[skimcty28]

WHAT ARE THE TWO SONGS?

[skateboardism]

does anyone know how to get the front element off the slightly new ones where they're like glued?

[treyflip3losthispass]

if there was a piece of plastic over the top of the lens would it make a big difference in the picture quality? i think it would be able to protect the lens.

[Stepupprods]

thought of it too, but it'd be hard to do it bent to the shape of the fisheye

[supafly034]

im pretty sure thats a mk1

[Isaksk8]

haha, it's a mk2 !

[treyflip3losthispass]

@supafly034 pause at 1:15 it clearly says mkII on it

[sk8rman48700]

no its an mk2 the mk1 has writing all over the ring

[sardo97]

if i had that lens i would be scared to do that to it but if it needed to be i would have to

[focus17]

thanks a lot!

[Patricijus1989]

Hey there, what is the name of the song? five stars!

[venturamedia]

where can I buy Front Element for Century Optics MKII? 'm from mexico city skate filmer

[SCHIZOPHRENlC]

I've been using my death without the front lens for wideangle shots at parties and shit, way better than buying a new lens.

[skateemerica134]

the begining clips were with a mk1

[KiCkFLiPsNoTfOoTyS]

hey did you replace the front element or what how did you get rid of them scratches???

[Stepupprods]

i was just wondering what does the front element actually do? does it give extra fisheye effect or does it just protect the lenses inside?

[harryizzle]

somebody likes MF DOOM

[RLadhani93]

EVERYBODY likes MF.

[sk8foodtv]

on the last clip it went from bad to worst because it got hit... then he put his finger on it

[FullyFlaredSkater96]

the widest fissheye out there is a

extreme fisheye

[CBurt90]

ahh how wrong you are

[FullyFlaredSkater96]

look at it and it was a sayng

[poofoo294]

you fuckin retard

extreme fisheye is the biggest

[uknowthisisme]

somebody please tell me! how do you mod a mk2 to make it wider??????

[EnjoiYourMeal]

you cant. MK2 is the widest your getting without an MK1

[uknowthisisme]

can't i get spacers... so that i get some vig? where would i get those?

[johnnyskate]

w00t, vigs sucks, alot cleaner and more enjoyable to watch without Imo..

[ihaveakeyboardforyou]

@johnnyskate vigs?

[DanielColeProd]

@johnnyskate i totally disagree

[jablowm3]

@johnnyskate I strongly disagree, but everybody is entitled to there own opinion.

[NickGoesR0aor]

yes you can but you would have to take the bayo off and then i think its a 72mm thread so you would get a step down ring and then i guess some spacers but the mk2 vig is blurry

[PEIskate]

get a mk1

[KiCkFLiPsNoTfOoTyS]

yes you can mod it spacer mod it ?

[uknowthisisme]

whats the point of taking it all apart?

[procaps123]

to clean the inside if any dust has gotten into the lens, or to replace the front element

[uknowthisisme]

does anybody know how to mod a mk2 to make it wider on a vx2100?

[Kammanderkool]

but the tillte lens you use to mod the raynox in the mk2

[TankManer]

aint a mk2 for a vx2000 like 500 bucks??

would it be cheaper to get a opetka extreme?

[uknowthisisme]

i just got a used mk2 on ebay for 200

[LanceCampeau]

Century lenses are way WAY overpriced... most people buy them just because they are the "gourmet" fisheye lens... I have used over 15 different brands/styles of fisheye lenses... many much cheaper... The Century lenses are a total waste of money. If your shooting web videos, consider a cheap lens first. I use a cheap Kenko 0.43 on my Canon HV20...lens looks amazing in 1080i and cost me a whole $8 at a flea market... Don't buy into the hype... try other lenses first.

[verderoller]

im sorry but thats bull shit. its not hype its quality, no cheap lens can compare to he quality and width of a century.

[LanceCampeau]

I don't agree. If your production is destined for NTSC, PAL or web based video then the Century lenses are total overkill. These recording mediums make little perceivable use of any optical clarity offered by a Century lens over cheaper brands... considering the price... you could buy 10 cheaper lenses of decent quality and not lose sleep if a few of them get destroyed in the field...

Century Lenses = overhyped, overpriced

[LanceCampeau]

I don't agree. I've tried more than a dozen fisheye lenses. If your shooting for NTSC or PAL DVD or web based video then the Century fisheye lenses are a total waste of money. These formats are low res and don't take advantage of the increased optical quality offered by the Century line. They cost over 10 times as much as a generic fisheye lens of slighly less optical quality. For the price of ONE Century lens I could get 10 generic fisheye lenses. If one breaks, who cares? I have 9 more...

[verderoller]

dude, quality ove quantity. kenko and all those other lenses suck. not wide at all

[LanceCampeau]

170 degrees isn't enough for you?

[XzOoYoRk]

can an mk2 lens fit on vx2000?

[skateconnecticut]

yes, a 58mm mk2 is made for the vx2000

[XzOoYoRk]

thank you.

[Gmancrap]

Whats the first song?

[bluby9101]

a skaters worst nightmare

[AlexNeuhauser]

were do u get the replacment lens

[skateemerica134]

good lens but terrible camera

[nickfleischer]

[DirtySkateRats]

300

[fbasuns7]

ight kuz i just got one and i wondered if it cud work like mk1 does

[fbasuns7]

hey can u use mk2 with out the front element and the lens wont fall out?

[scared101]

No, you can`t. It will fall out.

[nickkk222]

Sadly, i had to do this with my baby death lens.

D:

[JTmarrey]

Whats the second song called?

I dont mean ''mf doom - charnsuka'' thing, the other one...

[Mexico445]

lol those people are out to destroy ur lens

[thepigpod]

can you still get an mk1 front element

[jordanRezka]

everytime i try two turn the ring with the two small nails it doesnt budge

[halfraid]

did u do that to get rid of the vignette?

[NickGoesR0aor]

no..... you do that to clean it or get a new front element

[SheshTilTheDeath]

the mk2 never has vig.

[daltondjskater]

unless you use spacers

[SheshTilTheDeath]

do they have bayo spacers??

[daltondjskater]

yes

[fearofthedark888]

why would you ever want to do that

[robratz]

to clean it

[fearofthedark888]

true

[verafly6]

ur if it gets hit u can replace it =]

[robratz]

hah

[MrRoche123]

does anyone know where i can get a MK1 from england?

[southbanktrousers2]

youll have to order it from overseas unless you get lucky with a british buyer on ebay

[MrRoche123]

ok, thanks

[imilianus]

best setup= vx 2000+mk2-> no ugly vig. !!!

[Dmoz15]

cannon gl2 and a mk2 works real good to even though the quality isnt as good there is still barely any vig thats what i use

[DunesProductions]

should i take of the sunshade or no?? just a newb question lol...

[billyhottie2]

no it stops lens flare and unwanted random flashes and shit like that... id keep it on :)

[ZiggyAllan]

Yeah, But it also has to be aligned perfectly... well at least the screw on one.

[gabe007g]

sweet

[mannymo1k]

whats the second song?

[emericashoes]

Its all MF DOOM and NAS collab. the cd is called Nastrodamus i think just type in mf doom and nas the song is called last words.

[KBTwinProduction]

wheres the best place to buy one of these?

[SheshTilTheDeath]

is a raymod on a vx1000 any good compared to a mark 1 or 2?

[skater8au]

its wider than the mk2 but the quality is not as good, the mk1 is still wider than the raymod though, and of course better quality. but for 600$ cheaper you cant go wrong

[bgskater6]

buy an mk1

VX1000 + MK1 fisheye = Best setup ever

[skategnarr1995]

no.

[stickball720]

what.

thats preety mutch a peephole but Bigger!

[3zZaBoi]

aite mate im having trouble un screwin the thing of so the glass releases it just WONT move...

[PaulMasterFilmer]

how much is the 1st peioce of glass to replace...?

[esfootwearrocks]

the front element is about 300

[KBTwinProduction]

is the lens better with our without the fin things, i wanna call them shadow protectoers? idk what they're called but ya

[akanathan]

Shades?

[SheshTilTheDeath]

nahh the lens will still look the same with the sunshade on or off, but it blocks the sun and can save the glass on your lens if it gets smacked.

[misterrockin]

what is a baby death?

[blankbrian]

when you kill and infant

[waltabeast]

hahhahhaahhahahahahahahah!!!!!­!!!

[KBTwinProduction]

omg lmao ffw ahahah!

[PaulMasterFilmer]

LMFAOOO MY NEW HERO RIGHT HERE!!!!!!

[massam1221]

its a 37mm death lens instead of a 58 or 72mm fisheye

[curtisburd]

coughing

[EnjoiSk8ing226]

are there any fisheyes that fit my Panasonic PV-GS90? i really need an answer right away. THANKS!

[cusabir]

whats the thread size?

[GetWreckedFilms]

yes...Raynox HD 3032 Semi-Fisheye is the best one to get for that camera if you don't want to spend alot of money..it also comes with 6 different thread sizes...plus you can mod it as well..check out my Bmx Trick Tip video..its a pretty good example of the Raynox HD 3032 Mod

[snobbiGnavE]

not unless you want to glue it on.... there is no threads

[loveja1]

It is an awesome lens, mine has been hit a few times also and it just rubs off, I first bought it for my gl2 then I bought a sony pd170 and I had to send it back to century to have it fitted for the new camera, took over 2 weeks to come back, the saddest 2 weeks of my life to watch it go,lol thanks for the tutorial, didn't know that could be done.

[fbasuns7]

u have some bad luck lol

[horseballs]

how much does it cost to replace the front element?

[Dmoz15]

Damn that lense got hit alot lmao

[PaulMasterFilmer]

I LOVE MY MK2 DEATHLENS!!!

[ShaYAN00202]

me too

everyone calls it a death fish cause they get confused

lmao

[thatdummykidd]

What's the first song ?

[jedrekDSK]

MF Doom - Charnsuka

[naji2323]

its call fastlane king gedoriam

[K2twins191]

it makes me wanna cry

[NorthsideSk8Co]

i yelled NOOO so loud at 00:21 that looks like a very upsetting scratch

[skaterdeclan]

so if this just for cleaning? or if the lens gets scratched, you can replace it yeah? i think i'm missing the point here haha.

[scared101]

Its for both. You can clean or replace it.

[skaterandfbiagent]

i would kill for that lens.

[taso1388]

i have a vx2000 ive heard to get a mk1 but since the mk2 is newer and made for the 2000 why isnt it better? do u know

[blankbrian]

well it is designed better like now it doesnt have any vig but for them to do make it like that it couldn't be as wide as the mk1 also the mk2 has lens shades. they pretty much do nothing but i guess thats an upgrade

[DearlyBelovedxx3]

which is better a mk1 or mk2? i have a

sony vx1000

[williscool1234]

in that case go for an mk1. They are a bit wider than the mk2, and the vx1000 and mk1 are like bread and butter together.

[DearlyBelovedxx3]

lol ok thank you

[Gibbyx6]

where can you buy a new front element??

i have a baby death so.....

[SkateWithMisk]

go buy a new fish eye lens lol jk idk

[scared101]

Directly from Century Optics

[Gibbyx6]

idk i looked on their website aand they dont sell it.

[scared101]

You have to write a email. They sell it not "official"

[Gibbyx6]

oh okay thanks a lot bro. do you know how much they run for??

[dickmharter]

[schitter93]

[passalt]

wats the song

[mickanelawd]

0:25 = :O

[IIEpiXII]

wow.

that is a dirty ass lens. maybe you should try cleaning it when you take it apart next time.

[wantsomegish]

will the mk2 fit any 58mm camcorder?

[Keifer48]

yea

[brad8500]

i would never fucking put my lens in a vice

[krookedskater13]

death lenses are so sexy!

[thorshammr]

all i know is that instructional videos set to mf are fucking amazing

[blankbrian]

theres two little piece of dirt in my lens should i do this myself or send it in to get cleaned. Its like 50 to send it in for a cleaning

[saltskatecity]

do it yourself is so easy. you dont even need a vice clamp just set it on a towel and get a two small nails and do what this guy does.

do thay have fish eye leses 4 flip camcorders
