MegaFrasiercrane Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Could anybody recommend an affordable 10mm wide lens for a Bolex H16, bayonet attachment? My current lens is unusable in cramped interior scenes. Id be looking around the £200 ($330) mark.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted January 17, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted January 17, 2014 As far as I know bayonet mount lenses for Bolexes were only ever zooms, if you want to use primes with a bayonet mount Bolex you need a bayonet to C-mount adapter: http://www.ebay.com/itm/C-mount-on-Bolex-bayonet-mount-Bolex-cameras-SBC-EL-/261345300099?pt=UK_Photography_Movie_Camera_Accessories&hash=item3cd964ce83 then you can use C mounts like 10mm Switar RX or 10mm Schneider RX or (stopped down a bit) non-RX lenses like 10mm Angenieux etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Millar Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Yup, Dom is spot on with this (and yes non 'RX' lenses will need to be stopped down to at least f5.6/8 for optimum results) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
