Kern Paillards are sweet for sure. And one can by a set of three for peanuts. Used the 16mm switar as well as the 25mm and 75mm for this. I'm looking to buying a new set. Found all three plus the 10mm for $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, I paid $200 for my 16mm on ebay. :/ I'd definitely like that 25mm and 10mm too. All are pretty expensive on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cool to see all of your BMPCC and D16 footage on there. Btw, that's a great price on those Kern lenses. I can only assume you got a Bolex with it? I just picked up a couple Angenieux lenses... The 10mm and the 15mm. Not a bad price, but nowhere near the deals you are finding. Does the D16 need an IR cut filter? I love shooting on my BMMCC with these old lenses but I do need to get some step up rings because the IR pollution is out of control on some of them.

Yes it included a Bolex, that I used the other day for my next D16 review No there is no need for IR Cut on the D16. mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Just got the Meopta 20mm c-mount lens in the mail, so I used it in a scene on a short I'm working on. I was actually out scouting locations when I found this old, abandoned cabin in the woods. For handheld and wide open... I am digging this lens. I think stopped down a notch or two and she will really shine. kidzrevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Anyone ever used the Canon EF 28 1.8? I know it gets kinda bad reviews and there is the sigma 30 1.4, but the canon has the much shorter MFD. I was wondering whether the softness of this lens might not work in favor for us video guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're shooting canon 1080p it wont be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRenaissanceMan Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I like the 28 1.8. It's got some character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shijan Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 A little test of vintage lens KORREKTAR 150mm on BMMCC camera. The lens was made for some kind of reproduction machines and covers huge 12x18 cm frame. Probably another bad copy of industrial Zeiss or Nikon (as all things done in USSR). Although the specs calmed huge resolution for 12x18 cm frame, its not very sharp on tiny s16 sensor in regular (not macro) mode. The good thing about this lens is that in macro mode you can be very far from object. It has perfect round bokeh at any F-stop and very flat and even image area. The test chart is DIY printed A3 paper so don't expect it to be very precise at high resolutions. The camera was located about 5 meters from the chart. For lighting i use two 100W incandescent bulbs. The images were shoot in RAW and processed in Davinci Resolve in ACES workflow. All images shoot at same camera settings and Gain (In ACES its same as Exposure) was boosted in post to keep them the same as F6.3. I also attached image shoot at F22 without Exposure boost so you can see how many shadow details this camera can recover in post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidzrevil Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 really wish sony would create a 35-85mm f1.4 constant aperture lens for the next RX10. The RX10ii lens is surprisingly sharp across the board check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Fujinon 25mm... Lens porn? jase and Zach Goodwin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted June 23, 2016 Super Members Share Posted June 23, 2016 Good finds today. A 100% mint 15mm f4.5 that covers most full frames. Viewfinder and awesome rearcap included. Total cost $250. Sample using T-Max 100. Also a Fujinon 12.5mm f1.4. Very solid and good price. No sample so far, will use it on the Bolex. The M6 will also use the 15mm. homestar_kevin, BrorSvensson and tokhee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar_kevin Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 ^Nice haul, Mattias, I'm still getting all of them sorted out for use on the pocket cam, but I recently got a haul of C-mount lenses including that same Fujinon 12.5 f/1.4 Also came with: Fujinon 25mm 1.4, Cosmicar 8.5mm 1.8, Cosmicar 12.5mm 1.8 Excited to see how they all do.

Those are all fun lenses, good steal. Might vignette a tad on the pocket but not to bad. Thats one of the perks with the Bolex. Almost all C-mounts cover.

Parker Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 What is the crop factor of an average c-mount lens? I've considered buying some before because I'm pretty sure they would work for 4k on the NX500 given the camera's extreme 2.4x crop and all, some of them look like they'd be pretty sweet to play around with. Has anyone tried this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a thread on here that shows all the c-mount lenses that can cover a m4/3 sensor ? I like the look of these lenses but I shoot stills as well so it would be dope if there was a list setup somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
