Newbe lens question - Angenieux 12-120 f/2.2

[Geoffrey Chandler]

Would an old lens originally designed for 16mm movie cameras, Angenieux 12-120 f/2.2 work on a Pocket Cinema camera?

 

Thanks.

It will work but will have pronounced vignetting at the wide angle settings. Not recommended unless you can live with these limitations. The Angenieux 15-150mm is preferable and will provide full coverage of the sensor at all focal lengths and distances.

Great to know Jean-Louis, thanks! :)

For information about which older lenses will cover S16 and the similar sized sensor of the Pocket Camera, this list (and the accompanying information) by Jorge Diaz-Amador is reliable:
