Good wide angle option for S35 sensors + Iscorama

[Rick Moonbeam Darge]

I'm looking for a wide angle option for my S35 camera and Pre/36 Iscorama. Right now all I have is a 50mm. 

 

Any suggestions out there for older lenses that won't vignette on an s35 sensor? 

 

I heard the AIS Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 wasn't a bad option 

 

Thanks

Get the Mir 24N or 24H, 24M. Amazing lens and it works for the isco in crop s35

 

The letters are mounts N and H are Nikon and M is Pentax M42

 

About $130 and even if it says MC it flares beautifully.

Very cool. Thanks Rob 

 

Any experience going wider than a 35mm? I'm wondering what the widest I can go with this Isco and an s35 sensor 

[Rob Bannister]

35 is pushing it I really think at 28mm you would vignette. I just sold my 28mm or I would try it. I do believe I was able to get that with 1.5X but 2X would vignette then I was back up to 50-58mm

Which 28mm did you own? The Nikkor? 

[Rob Bannister]

Yeah I had the 28mm F2.0 AIS nikkor. I was going to use it as a wide option for the BMPCC

I used the 60D (same or similar to S35?) and 35mm was as wide as I could go with the Iscorama.  You'll see slight vignetting, but not a distracting amount.  

 

You might want to try the Nikon 35-70mm f/2.8.  It's a push-pull zoom, so it won't mess with your anamorphic alignment.  It also makes for some decent flares and artifacts...
