AaronChicago Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I had the Canon 10-18, very light (plastic) but pretty darn sharp for the price . And very affordable. I did a review. Note that there is Zero vignette on APS-C like the C100 with a normal amount of filters stacked.https://youtu.be/T0wkW0q5gfEWow that looks ideal! It's even STM which will allow for face tracking on the C100. Not worried about the f3.5-5.6 either since most of gimbal shots are outdoors.

I love Sigma. I'm thinking of just going with the Canon 10-18 b/c of weight, and the STM feature of face tracking. andy lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted April 29, 2015 Super Members Share Posted April 29, 2015 Recently got this Zeiss Jena 16mm f1.8 but today was the first time I actually took it out of the box to make sure it works. The frame grab is a flickr link so you can klick and watch in full resolution.(is it me or is the lifted noise in the background quite pleasing and "grain like" compared to most digital noise?) Very small and light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Gentles Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 The Zeis Jena, Pancolar and Biometar Lenses all have that amazing vintage look, its kinda creamy and brittle at the same time and there's good contrast but the colours are vintage. Draws your eyes in immediately though just has that ability to deliver arresting images and super sharp even fully open. The only difficulty is bright sunlight, you just have to be careful about the flares. The Jena 35mm 2.4 is the king of all of them, it has a massive reputation.

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted April 30, 2015 Super Members Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yeah I'm very pleased with the Jenas. The 35/2.8 is my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kieley Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Since I've moved onto the NX1 from the GH1, I have a Rokinon 12mm 2.0 (non-cine MFT version) that is completely useless to me now. I'm looking to get rid of it and get a Rokinon 85mm. Would anyone care to trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff CB Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1363209Found this great deal for the Nikon 28-70 if you don't need AF, good glass for cinema. (not my sale) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gethin Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Just been perusing this thread and reminded me that I've got a couple of old bolex lenses in my dry cabinet. A switar 10mm f1.6 and a kern pailard 17-85 f3.5 compact with an SB mount. Checked on eBay and they range from 100 to 700 au dollars. Anyone know if they have any value (or use?)

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted May 3, 2015 Super Members Share Posted May 3, 2015 Most likely they do. Checkout the C-mount on m4/3 group on FB. Lots of knowledge and potential buyers there. gethin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Acuña Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hi,Could you guys recommend me a manual wide angle lens for under 300 euros? I think I am going to buy the Contax Carl Zeiss 28mm f/2.8 (to match my other Zeiss lenses) but I don't think it's wide enough (40-42mm equivalent, on super35), I'll be using it on a speedbooster so I would gain one stop of light making it a f/2.0, so I am considering other options, maybe a 20 or 21mm?Thanks.

Its fairly decent. Not Sigma ART sharp of course but gets the job done and it cost €30.Best way to find one is to look for an "old camera" in the classifieds or on ebay.I have made a super booring lens test today that includes it. I wasn't going to post it anywhere but a discussion on FB lead me to decide to edit it together. Feels like there is a lack of tests from certain types of lenses. Specially on the D16.I will post later if it gets done. Daniel Acuña 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted May 9, 2015 Super Members Share Posted May 9, 2015 So here are the lens test I did with my cheap C-Mount, m42 and C/Y today.The lenses are:Zeiss Tevidon 10mm f2.0 C-MountComputar 12.5mm f1.8 C-MountZeiss Tevidon 16mm f1.8 C-MountTokina 24mm f2.8 m42-MountZeiss Jena 35/2.8 m42-MountZeiss Jena 50/2.8 C/Y-MountYashinon 50/1.9 m42-MountThey are all shot with identical aperture, ISO, ND, and WB.They have all the exact same correction and grade.So the differences is purely down to the lens.BTW, The BTS was shot on one of them with another camera and is ungraded. Guess which lens? Daniel Acuña, Henry Gentles and mercer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Anyone using the Canon 50mm f1.2 EF often? Andrew seems to be quite fond of it and I would like to have a high speed lens within 50mm range for DOF purposes. Wondering whether this lens is only used in special occasions or on a daily basis.
