guim ster Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi, Do you guys know if the Schneider Arriflex Cine Xenon 28mm f2 covers super 16 ? And the Zeiss Jena Arriflex 35mm f/2 ? And Schneider-Kreuznach Cinegon 16mm 1.4 ? All of them on arri st mount. It's 35 mm lenses so it should cover super 16 gate ? But i've redden that some short focal length doesn't. It's for mount on an arri SR2 super 16 modified and PL mount. Thanks a lot G.// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rizos Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 The 28 and 35 certainly cover, the 16 was made for 16mm, but it probably covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted May 31, 2012 Premium Member Share Posted May 31, 2012 Any 35mm format lens will easily cover S16. In fact the image circle will be so much larger that you need to be careful of any shiny areas in the mirror cavity around the gate that may reflect light back onto the film. Schneider never made a 16 for 35mm format, only for 16mm and CCTV. The 1.4/16 Cinegon was the CCTV design for 1" tubes, so it will cover S16. But it was built to lower specifications than the 16mm format Cine-Xenons, 1.9/16 (for S16) and the earlier 2/16, which vignettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the 16mm f2 Cinegon? I like the rendering of the Cine-Xenons (more than the Cinegon) but is there a wide lens for S16 to complete the set? The Arriflex 10mm Cinegon doesn't cover S16, correct? Have you used the 16-44mm f0.95 Angenieux btw? Such an interesting looking lens but I can't imagine it's sharp wide open. Do you know if the 17.5-50mm Angenieux with the retro adapter covers S16. Bad lenses on digital was cool before S16 was cool maybe now bad lenses on S16 is extra cool.

Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted September 10, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted September 10, 2020 I don’t remember where I got my information from 8 years ago. I was working at a different rental house with lots of older lenses, but also Schneider used to have a very good online archive of info on all their older cine and CCTV lenses. Unfortunately they removed the archive sometime around 2012. Schneider lenses are quite difficult to gauge because they made a variety over many years with modifications along the way. I never came across a 10mm that covered S16, but I think there was a 1” CCTV version that covers. I don’t know about those Angenieuxs sorry.
