thomas-english Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Has anybody ever used these lenses? They seem fairly good value for money and are good equivalents to the much sought after mk2/mk3 superspeeds, but are they any good? build quality? http://www.optica-elite.com/default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Gross Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Very nice actually. Early units had build quality issues but I believe this has been corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Max Jacoby Posted September 10, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted September 10, 2007 You can also get the Elites from BFC in Brussels and JDC in the UK (under the name Xtal Express). JDC had the lenses rehoused and changed some of the focal lenghts ever so slightly (the 14mm became a 14.5mm for instance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stateside it was the Blimped Fox Camera (65mm if I recall) sometimes also refered to as the Big F**king Camera. lol Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member John Sprung Posted September 13, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted September 13, 2007 Yes, BFC was Mitchell's 65mm offering -- BNC "Blimped News Camera" was the 35mm equivalent. -- J.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Max Jacoby Posted September 13, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted September 13, 2007 I think it stands for Brussels Film Centre. They also have a set of anamorphic Elites by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
