Hey Everyone,

 

I am looking into buying a set of Nikon Cine Primes similar to these

Can anyone give me feedback on the quality of these lenses and also the pros and cons. I will most likely be using these on a HVX200 w/ either and M2 or Movietube. Will those be a factor in the lenses I do purchase?

 

And also If I do purchase these now will they be useable on a better camera such as the Red or Sony F23? I am new to using 35mm lenses so any help is appreciated. Thanks

They're fine for 35mm adapter work, but I don't think they're really worth purchasing. They're just modified 35mm SLR still lenses and not as sharp or as high a resolution as other cine lenses.

 

I believe Redrock makes M2 adapters with Nikon mounts. You could save a lot of money by getting that version of the M2 and just a bunch of cheap Nikon primes on eBay.

 

If you plan on shooting on a Red or F23 sometime, hopefully there's a budget for a good rental set of Zeiss or Cooke's, or what have you.

I think that is what we are going to wind up doing. It was our original idea but when I saw that set of primes online I thought I would come to my favorite source for info. thanks for the help.

 

The exact adapter is still up in the air. Of course if budget allows I would love to get the movietube or P+S. But the range might fall to the M2 or the Letus I am still researching both. I will take the light issue into account thanks.
