NIZO 801 (non macro) Wide Angle adapter?

[BJMP]

Hello, I have a Nizo 801 non macro and was wondering if anyone knew if there was a wide angle adapter available for it and if it would work. I feel like someone told me one that only the Macro lens 801's would work with a wide angle adapter? (I'm really new to super 8) I think it has a 62mm filter size.
Thanks

Hi Ben,

I seem to remember using a Spiratone Curvatar on a non-macro Nizo S800 back in the 80s with good results. The Curvatar came in series 7 thread which is smaller than the 62mm of the Nizo, so I must have had a step-down ring of some kind.

The Spiratone Curvatar was made in Japan and also sold under different brand names.
