Zoom lens for anamorphic?

[Jacobsanmartin]

I want to use a zoom with my anamorphic attachment but don't know where to start looking, I need it to be cheap, vintage, and obviously the front filters can't turn when zooming or focusing the lens any recommendations?

[itimjim]

Which anamorphic attachment?

[Jacobsanmartin]

It's an isco optic ultrastar I use it with a clamp so I need a zoom that dosent have a spinning front

[andy lee]

what camera as the crop factor is important to know what zoom might even work !!

aspc

micro 4/3

 

which?????

I did some research before.  Basically 70(80)-200(210) lens (equ 35mm) should work.

As a cheap manual lens, Nikon AI-S 50-135 is the one, non rotating front glass, if I remembered.

For APS-C, Tokina 50-135 f2.8 is best with auto focus.

For M43, Panasonic 35-100 F2.8 is the one.

I've used tokina 28-80 with my GH2 and Bolex 16/32 1.5.

I have a t4i so it's aspc 1.6 crop factor I'd perfer vintagelenses manual controls, I can't seem to find info on wether some zooms have spinning fronts or not

[itimjim]

Tokina 50-135 2.8 is internal zoom and focus.

[Jacobsanmartin]

No manual aperture on that lens

[itimjim]

You can control the aperture in body. Do you need an aperture ring? Stepped apertures aren't great on SLR lenses for video, so there's not much advantage between controlling in body or on the ring except a little convenience.

It's a Nikon lens I have a canon body my camera won't be able to speak to the aperture control

[Jacobsanmartin]

I'm sorry lol I was looking at the wrong lens! Well that lens is canon but it's 800 bucks And that's just way too much for me to spend on a lens
