Stéphane Mandelkern Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Hi, I remember having read on this forum that all Arri standard mount lenses could be not compatible between Arriflex 16S and Arriflex 35 2C. If I buy an arri standard mount lens, am I sure that it will fit on my Arriflex 16S ? Could I have a problem with the distance between the rear part of the lens and the position of the mirror ? Thank you for your information Stéphane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Mosness Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Stéphane, You're generally safe putting 35mm lenses on your 16mm camera. It's the reverse that can be a problem. 16mm lenses, especially the wider focal lengths, protrude too far and will hit the mirror on a 35mm camera, like the 2C That's been my experience. Are you searching for certain focal lengths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Frenette Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) I found this from an Arriflex iiC manual on ebay. 28mm Standard mount is the widest focal length that won't protrude too far, other than the exceptions listed.
