buggz Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 What is the widest taking lens for use with a Bell & Howell 2x Kowa? Briefly playing: - GH4 with Metabones 0.67XL - the widest seems to be 58mm with vignetting - 5DMkII - 35mm ? Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 FF is about 75mm. Other format, just counted as 35mm equivalent FL, max down to 70mm of equivalence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweak Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I can shoot 35mm on 7D with the Kowas (vignette in photo mode). So I'd say something a bit over 50mm (55 maybe) is really the widest you could shoot on 5D for video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgabogomez Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 The widest I've managed in apsc is 28mm (in video mode and cropped to 2.4:1). There is a guy on the anamorphic shooters group on Facebook that uses a 40mm on fullframe. tweak and Seth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could use maybe a 40mm pancake on FF, but I honestly think around 50 is as wide as is good as when you start getting wider you get a lot of imperfections (they might be good for some projects though).
