Premium Member Stephen Williams Posted April 17, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted April 17, 2009 So Jan's hyped lenses are here http://www.rebel-lenses.com/ Those focus scales look very disappointing to me, not really Ultra Primes class as promised.

Premium Member John Sprung Posted April 17, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted April 17, 2009 Interesting that it says "for non-mirror cameras" -- looks like they extend too wide and deep into the camera body to clear a mirror. Probably due to the OLPF-friendly design, "more parallel rays" as they say .... -- J.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Stephen Williams Posted April 18, 2009 Author Premium Member Share Posted April 18, 2009 Clearly of zero use to me, I need lenses that would work on film & single sensor video.

I have to agree Stephen. From a focus puller's perspective, those focus scales appear to be spaced like still lenses not cine lenses. I mean, "...80', 20', 10', 6'..." on a 95mm T1.9 lens?! Oh yes, THAT'S useful.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Well considering how long Jan was allowed spruik on virtually unhindered on Reduser, I'd say Jim Jannard knew what they were like from the beginning. Alas poor Yorick, he knew them well... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which begs the question: "How does optimizing optics for microlensed single-chip cameras affect their non-microlensed performance?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member John Sprung Posted April 19, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted April 19, 2009 Just looking at the pix on their web site, it does look to me like there's too much metal sticking into the camera body. They'd collide with the mirror shutter. -- J.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them mirror shutters don't come cheap either :lol: Chrissake, you'd think they'd be aware of that old issue, what with the likes of JVK advising them and all....

Premium Member Brad Grimmett Posted June 5, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted June 5, 2009 I don't know the current Euro/Dollar conversion rate, but you can buy a set of Super Speeds for just a little more than he's asking. I'm really curious who would buy these, especially considering the previously mentioned limitations and issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Duclos is re-mounting Zeiss still camera lenses for PL, 80mm front, 32p gears etc for many thousands of dollars less. Sure, some of the same focus ring issues, but at about $1400 a lens by a legit tech it looks like a much better deal. http://www.ducloslenses.com/Home/ZeissZF.html Bruce Taylor www.indi35.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Gross Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 The lenses shown in our booth were prototypes. The eventually-offered lenses will be very different indeed. And the price should be of interest to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
