[ Tech ] - Sharing C-Mount (cine) lens' photos and gears on M43 bodies


is there any NR filter available for Pentax 25mm c-mount lens?
 

Are there any issues with using a wider angle lens on the m4/3s platform? I used the 25mm one indoors and was dearly wishing for a wider angle and found out that Pentax does have a 12.5mm version.

CCTV lenses with lesser mms will become fish eye lenses, not exactly wide? :think::think:

nope it wont... unless the lens is fisheye :) even with wider angle of view unless the lens is not design to have fisheye effect it wont show that fisheye effect :)

the construction of fisheye lens is different from Ultra wide lenses :) you'll have a very bad distortion or barrelling but I think thats all you be getting

I dont know if I am correct or not hehehe

Alberti is right, 7-14 is wider than 8mm,but 8mm is fisheye,so why is 7mm the angle lesser than the 8mm fisheye? its the glass construction
 

interesting pictures these lenses produce!
just wondering if it is possible to mount these lenses on a 4/3 body like my E510?
probably will have issues with focusing to infinity but will work for macro?:think:

Taken with my 12.5mm 1.4 CCTV lens some time back, on a GH-1 at 16:9. With GH-1's multi-aspect sensor the crop factor is actually about 1.8. I guesstimate that on non-multi-aspect sensor body like GF-1 or E-P2 the vignette will be almost unnoticeable, making it a very usable and wide 25mm equivalent.

The color, sharpness and detail on the finger captured is surprisingly good though.

High definition 25mm f0.95 C mount lens for micro 4/3, by Goyo Optical Japan. Very sharp lens with nice bokeh. I modified it so that it can fit into the RJ adapter. One of a kind. ;)

Too bad these don't work on 4/3 cameras... It looks like something I'd like to have as a novelty lens :bheart:
 

Artgerm, did you crop the pictures? cox the vignetting looks minimal, nice lens :)
 

I didn't crop the bottom image. It is a full one in 4:3 ratio. PM me if you are interested to get one for yourself. :)
 

Hey Artgerm,

Cool stuff~ Looks like those pictures were taken around Katong
 

I got it off ebay for about S$630. I managed to do it myself. I got some waterproof abrasive paper grade 60, 120, 300 and with some water, I slowly ground the focusing ring. I had to remove the focusing ring from the lens body first though. The end result is what you see below.

Now it's working! :)

Does it infinity focus?

Also probably not a great deal at $630 as it retails brand new at $460, as these are not legacy lenses but are still being produced by the manufacturer. Can be bought straight from the manufacturers website. Was going to buy one, but did not want to do all the machining to fit the M43 adapter.
 

Had a buyer for this Kodak Cine Ektar 63mm F2 but the deal is in the roughs. Anyways I took some test shots I thought I share, still in love with the creamy. ;p

Did you cropped these 2 pics? no vignetting at all, love the 2nd pic :):)
 

No vignetting at all, ISO 100 wide open on a GH-1 (1.8 crop factor). Shot not cropped or pp-ed. Typical 16mm cinema lenses won't vignette 35mm and above. My time spent with it was very reminiscent of the Minolta Rokkor 58mm f/1.2. Except this piece resolves an amazing amount of detail and sharpness, with a swirly creme de la creme bokeh.

It has since been sold to a nice guy who just started his c mount adventure on a NEX-5.
