Thanks to everyone Best regards G Do a forum search there is a thread where the lovable Santo describes his use of a century wide angle adapter on the 10mm cinegon. IIRC the may be a wide angle adapter designed to go with the 16mm c-mount version of the Schneider Cinegon 10mm lens but perhaps I am confusing it with the Switar one.

Thanks to everyone Best regards G that is a C mount lens port, right? Check around ebay and such for wide angle C mounts. you can also, purchase/rent a C-mount to PL adapter and use any number of modern wide angle lenses out there. How is the registration and overall image quality? Been curious about these cameras for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! mmm....so the only way is to use a wide angle dapter? No way to find a 4mm or 3mm lens? Thanks! G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Anthony Vale Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 that is a C mount lens port, right? How about Leica M? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernhard Zitz Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hi! I just got my 1st Leicina Special and it seems fantastic!!!... I have the 6-66 and the Cinegon 10mm Lens, I was wondering if exist any very wide angle lens that i can fit on the Leicia Special (i mean wider than the 6mm...) I guess there isn't any wider lens than the 6-66 for the Special I tried the century 0.55 adapter on the Cinegon 10mm. I had rather soft results, maybe because I never hit the right focuspoint. Since it is a diopter you do the focus in the macro-range of the lens and that's pretty hard to focus without groundglass. You could try the Schneider UWL III Adapter on the 6-66 which should give around 3.5mm, but again it's a diopter that uses the macro setting of the lens, hard to get in focus. A thing that could work is to shoot tests and make marks beside the focusring. cheers, Bernhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Chris: Mmm actually i think that does not exist any modern C mount lens wide enough for the super 8 format...the super 8 format is quite smaller than 35mm(4 times)....so for example using a 10mm lens made for 35mm it's like using a 40mm lens...(after mounted in the s8 camera...) Am I wrong?.....i mean,ithin that only a wide angle lens made for super 8 could be a wide angle lens in the super 8 format...right? Apologies if i am wrong..
