Kapkur has changed the lens and now they are only shipping the 72mm .3x with a 72mm to 58mm (or whatever your size is) step down ring, as opposed to the appropriate thread size being cut into the rear element housing. I put a bigger post about this on your other video. NFG! Really wish Schneider / Century would just spin up the production again. I'd happily pay $800 for the real thing today!
Hi Ben! I've been looking for a fisheye to my vx1000 for a while now and stumbled into your videos. Century lenses are out of question cause i'm on a budget, and i think this lens of yours looks great! I'm being really tempted to order this, one reason is that the shipping is free too... So would you recommend this lens for basic filming, mainly skateboarding? And does this come with the spacer ring and screwdriver etc all of that crap? Should i just go for it? Thanks! Ps. Love ur videos, keep up the good work!
Hey man, my kapkur lens just arrived. Its great and it does have a spacer and comes in a nice bag. It arrived in like a week from China to Belgium (I ordered it from dhgate.com). When I bought it last week it was still 110€ (free shipping) for the 52mm lens (same as vx1000 thread), but now the prices seem to have gone up. I think you can also get it from aliexpress / dhgate / alibaba / ... just make sure its an official kapkur account. If you have any more questions feel free to ask :)
@@thechrisdo Thanks man, just ordered mine from aliexpress (link in ben's description). I hope the shipping will be as fast as yours, can't wait to get it.
I guess I’m too late to the party because not only is the price $160 but it also won’t even let you purchase the item anymore. Opteka ones are out of stock everywhere too , help !
I found one of the 37mm baby death lenses for $45 but the 52mm one is only $25 cheaper than opteka and the 58mm is the same price as opteka🤔 I wonder if they went up in price since you made this or something, I haven’t done the conversion into dollars either
@@BenJonesVideographer yea i saw it. Looks pretty good. Make some daylight footy bro, i'm gonna order it on monday on aliexpress sales. Its gonna be 117 euros 😎

I need help. I just want a fishwye for my vx but cant find them anywere

If they have that'd be insane. I doubt such a large company would watch a video from someone so insignificant as me
its 160 dollars atm
hey, in europe i actually can't find this fisheye lens? Is it still available in US?
Would a 67mm with stepdown ring look strange on vx1000 because i cant find any 52mm 0.3x fisheyes
You might be able to get away with it!
Thanks man, i needed this. I have a vx2000 and im gonna buy this lens. I was goin to buy a cpl filter too. Can you make some footy with it?
My newest video was shot with this setup!
@@BenJonesVideographer yea i saw it. Looks pretty good. Make some daylight footy bro, i'm gonna order it on monday on aliexpress sales. Its gonna be 117 euros 😎
@@pasquale Sick man! And I do plan on filming some more during the day for a better view. And enjoy it man!
Wsh the fisheye is not available in 58mm on aliexpress but there is one on alibaba we agree that it is exactly the same ?
You'd have to link me so I could see
@@BenJonesVideographer The links do not work in youtube comments :(
@@noaboucher83 aye unfortunately there is a weird thing going on regarding Kapkur rn. I'll make a video soon regarding it
@@BenJonesVideographer on aliexpress the kapkur store is out of stock in some sizes. I'm trying to get a 0.3 fisheye for my trv900. What can I do
do kapkur 58mm fish eye len fits onto vx1000?
Yes with a 52mm to 58mm step up ring
how would the vignette looks on 58mm? does it looks same on 52mm as well?@@BenJonesVideographer
@@TheRust_Crass I'd say it'd be pretty damn similar, maybe a tiny bit more vig on the 52mm, maybe
okay thanks for the info!@@BenJonesVideographer
just bought this lens bc of u
is an opteka titanium is the same as a Kapkur 0.3? Shapes are looks same
They're IDENTICAL! Literally the same! Same as the lens that VX1000Market sells, same as the Deathlens Fisheye Sales guy sells!
can u link the spacers? thanks :)

Sorry to be that guy. So for the Vx1000 I want a 52mm thread?
Los spacers son lo mismo que un anillo adaptador?
si bro ambos alejan
Just wanna ask does it comes with adaptor? Cause i might be using on panasonic ac130
I think the AC130 is a 72mm thread isn't it? You'll wanna get that size and a spacer ring or 2
Ben Jones tqqqq
you can show the link of the space ring please thank you a lot ? ;)
The eBay seller isn't selling the spacer ring anymore but it's basically a 52mm 3m spacer
@@BenJonesVideographer ok man thank you a lot ;)
Up next, finding things that will fit that stupid massive thread on the ol' HVX200.
(up next, saving up to buy more goddamn P2 cards)
82mm to 72mm is your friend!
Too bad those Mk1 lenses are like 2grand now. Blah! They only gonna make 300 now.
Like the vid but democracy and capitalism have nothing to do with the price of vintage gear
