Premium Member Tim Carroll Posted July 9, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted July 9, 2008 I am in search of a wide angle lens that would match with Zeiss 10-100 T2 MKll zoom. Zeiss 8mm Distagon T* T2.2 lens. Used to use one with a Zeiss 10-100 T2 Mk1 lens and it matched fairly well. Footage shot with Zeiss 8mm Distagon Wide Open Same scene shot with Zeiss 10-100 T2 Mk1 Wide Open zoomed out to 10mm Best, -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Friera Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 Tim, I am thinking more like close to a fisheye lens. Have you tried this lenses? Thanks for your quick reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tim Carroll Posted July 9, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted July 9, 2008 Ray, No, I have not used either of those so I can't really give you an opinion. Hopefully others here have. Best, -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Anthony Vale Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 No, I have not used either of those so I can't really give you an opinion. Hopefully others here have. I haven't actually used the Century 5.7mm, but I'm pretty sure it's a fish eye. I had an old century catalog which had clips of 16mm film shot with their wide angles. The Angenieux 5.9mm and the Kinoptik 5.7mm are both rectilinear. But wouldn't a rectilinear be a better match for the zoom than a fish eye, which is curvilinear?

Can you explain to me the a difference between rectilinear and a fish eye lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Anthony Vale Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Can you explain to me the a difference between rectilinear and a fish eye lens. A rectilinear lens renders straight lines as straight lines, while a fish eye AKA curvilinear lens renders straight lines as curved. Most photographic lenses are rectilinear and considered distortion free, while the fish eye has extreme barrel distortion. fisheye/curvilinear rectilinear http://photo.net/learn/fisheye/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
