Antoine Pret Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Hi, I'd like to know if this lens covers super16 on a Bolex H16. I have not seen any footage online and there are some old posts saying that it covers and some say that it doesnt cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Pret Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 If it covers the s16 viewfinder of a Bolex, does it mean that it covers/almost covers (slight vignette like the switar 10) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marek Vesely Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) I'm 99% certain it doesn't cover Super 16 completely. Just as the 10mm Kern Switar doesn't cover S16. If you are fine with small falloff in the corners, you should be good. It's the same story as with the Switar. Some people claim it covers S16 and some say it doesn't. Reality is that it doesn't cover properly but most people are fine with the small corner falloff so they say it's fine.

Antoine Pret Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 Thanks a lot, if you happen to have some footage or can link me to some that would be awesome. I found very little infos about the schneiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Pret Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 Came across this video : He's using a Blackmagic micro so it has a super16 sensor. Slight vignette on the side when shooting for 16x9 but for regular 1.66.1 format, it should be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Pret Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 Following this, I was wondering if a wide attachment could be used with this lens. I found one that has the same 32mm filer thread and seems to have enough distance for the lens to close focus into it. Anybody ever tried this ? Could it work ?

Antoine Pret Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 I can now confirm that the Schneider cover nearly S16, very small vignetting on the bottom like the switar. Very usable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Pret Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 Also works with a wide angle attachment, giving 5.5 - 6mm, similar to the switar + aspheron ( 10% crop for s16 covering), infinity & close focus, some chromatic abberation like the aspheron. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ftfiGh5hxwCdgKEZW3sngF85WXnjcg2d/view?usp=share_link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
