Thanasis Diamantopoulos Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hi I thing that the adaptor for this lense is for video cameras screw mount and looks very worn. BTW i have an angenieux 15 150 2.8 with my super 16 camera and the lense covers the super 16 . I am not a fan of ang lenses but tis one is quiet sharp. I used some times a Cannon 25 100 for video cameras in my c mount eclair npr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rizos Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 (edited) Martin, let me make a suggestion if I may, with all due respect, but after you spend a bunch to buy and convert your camera, why go with a cheap old lens? I would save up and look for a converted Cooke, Zeiss or the Canon 8-64. I don't know what mount that is, probably video.

Martin Yernazian Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Mike, Thanks for the advice, trust that's what I want to, but for the mean time I will like to use the camera and shoot a bunch of projects, rather say, experiment with diferent looks, Yes will I want a set Optar Illumina's , off course, a Canon 8-64, you bet, this cheap lens is for the mean time. I would love to know what are your all time favorite lenses that you will like to have both primes and zooms. Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Marks Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hi Martin - I'd agree that it doesn't make sense to buy an older Angenieux like this when you've spent the money for a PL conversion. Also the mount is a bit of a mystery. Since you might end up spending more money to change out the mount, why bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rizos Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hi Martin My experience is limited to low cost lenses. I've used the Switar primes and zooms, the Angenieux primes and zooms, a few stills lenses. Most of these are acceptable quality, I thought. A few months ago I got a Cooke 9-50, and it's quite spectacular in my judgement. That's my favorite lens. I'm saving to convert it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have bought it just on price... can't hurt to pick up on an oldie like that... never know when you may decide you like it... or need something to use for target practice :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Yernazian Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 he-he well I'm actually saving for either a great lens ( CANON, Cooke, Zeiss, yeap in that order) or get a really nice set of primes ( like the OPtars) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Knowles Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 he-he well I'm actually saving for either a great lens ( CANON, Cooke, Zeiss, yeap in that order) or get a really nice set of primes ( like the OPtars) Don't be so quick to assume the 15-150 is a second-class lens. I picked this one up last year (15-150, 1.9): http://www.cinematography.com/forum2004/in...amp;mode=linear I had some work done on it at Visual Products and they put it on their focus chart. To my great surprise, it was NOTICABLY SHARPER than the equivalent Zeiss and Cooke zooms there that cost well over $5000. Now, I can't say that all the 15-150's are this sharp -- mine is larger and faster than the one you pointed out on eBay -- but now that I have this lens I have no need or desire to upgrade to anything else. At $500 purchase price + a $500 overhaul, this lens will get me through all my S16 projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Yernazian Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Craig, thanks for the info I will love to see some clips with it, , there is 2 kinds of 15-150, and yours is the faster one, and bigger one he! but it seems to be great glass, I'm getting my kit together to shoot a film in Argentina and I'm looking for great glass I will love to see some of the great clips that you might have Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Knowles Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I will love to see some of the great clips that you might have Martin, here are few examples from the first project I used the lens on. They're not perfect -- after getting the telecine back, I discovered the back-focus was off because some shots came out soft/blurry, but I think they give a good representation of the lens. Regular 16, Fuji 400/500T, Best light telecine to DV at Cinelab, no color correction, Eclair ACL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Yernazian Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Dude, those are some cool images!!! they look pretty sharp, even with the back focus issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Knowles Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Dude, those are some cool images!!! they look pretty sharp, even with the back focus issue Thanks, Martin. They're from a short I'm working on about violence. Everything was shot wide-open (1.9) with very shallow DOF. As for the lens, dollar for dollar, it'd be tough to beat. I'm sure it's nowhere near as sharp as modern glass, may not be as sharp as the Canon lens you mention, etc., but for the $500 I paid (plus a $500), it's a great buy that gets you in the same class as the equivalent Zeiss and Cooke zooms of that era, but at a fraction of the price.

Martin Yernazian Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 True, That's my point, why I can just try and see what happens? I feel people Are afraid of trying , and even worse they are afraid of failing, Well in this Bussiness is what it's all about! I don't care if Any Big DP tells me , oh don't try that I know is wrong.... welll I will listen, But I'm still going to try, because I want to experience the same things that he went throught, or maybe I will go in a different new direction, who knows? That's the magic of it! Best ps: I will love to see the short, even if you put a white letter mark in teh middle of it ( to protect your ass) I will love to see it I'm really obsess with color, contrast and definition= texture, I planing this feature in the next year and I'm planning some really unique looks Thanks Again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
