can you use beaulieu super 8 lenses on beaulieu r16 bodies

[Ian Nesbitt]

basic question, will the agnieux C mount lenses from beaulieu super 8 cams such as the 2008 cover the frame on the 16mm beaulieus such as the r16? or will I have vignetting etc

I understand they'll vignette, although it isn't something I've tried myself so don't have first-hand experience.

I just tried a Angenieux 8-64mm on a R16.

 

It definitely gives you a looking-through-a-porthole effect at 8mm.

 

Even at 64mm, there is still darkening of the corners. Unusable.

 

I would assume any zoom designed for a super8 camera would give a similar effect.
