What models of the Vixia line have lens threads

SingingDrummer — Tue, 23 Jul 2019 14:18:22 GMT

I am new to the Vixia line. I recently picked up a Vixia HF R40 and I'm pretty suprised at the quality. However, it lacks the ability to add a wide angle lens adapter.

Is there any list of Vixia HF camcorders that have lens adapters? I would like to review their specifications and possibly pick up another one or two with the options I might be most interested in.

thanks!

I think I found more than that. The R1x-3x models and R7x-8x models. Thanks

SingingDrummer,

The R800 series does. 43mm. I got the following set: Lens kit.

Cheap quality but they fit. I keep the UV on as a lens protector. The zoom lens has some framing issues on the sides unless you zoom in; a step up ring might work to solve that as well. Either the CPL filter is junk or I am not smart enough to use it; both scenarios are equally valid. Have not tried the macro lens or the FLD filter. My set did not come with the 43-52 ring adapter included in the set description. Good luck.

Hi Tim,

Would you please tell me what product i'm looking for for a lens adapter for the Vixia HF G21? I don't really know lingo for camera stuff, but i've had one for years, and every time i've ever looked up lens converters for it, i've never found one. What product do I need to purchase?

Thanks,

Mike
