True Lens 2x PL Extender MK II
This small and lightweight lens system mounts easily between the camera’s PL mount and thezoom or prime lens PL mount.
The extender multiplies the focal length of the base lens by a factor of 2.0 with the loss of two T-stops at full aperture. The combination of this extender and zoom lenses provides a financially practical solution over expensive long range zoom lenses, with only little or no influence to the optical quality of the lenses.
This PL doubler can be used in conjunction with Kipperie Revolva products without obstructing the rotating ND filter.
Spintec Rain Deflector – 105
The Spintec RD deflects rain and snow instantly by spinning a specially produced Tiffen glass filter 3000 times per minute. The spinning glass creates both a centrifugal effect which instantly removes rain drops (and even water splashes) and a vacuum effect which removes the lighter snow flakes which may have not been removed by the centrifugal effect.
The unit easily mounts on both internal focus lenses and external focus lenses with external diameters of 75-105mm. For internal focus lenses the Spintec RD simply snaps on. External focus lenses are mounted via special bracketry which mounts onto standard 15mm rods.
The Spintec RD operates via a 12 volt power supply directly off the camera battery. The RD105 kit includes sunshade, power cable and a special camera cover.
