Hi guys i have chance to buy sankor 16c for 250 for short film on canon 60d but i am also looking in to Schneider Kreuznach Cinelux Anamorphic, for 400. What would you guys recommend in 500$ range. I got my self EOSHD-Anamorphic-Guid and it say that you should not use projector lens since they might be over used and are bit and heavy but i really don't care for that since my shoots will be lock down.
It basically say this Anything too heavy is hard to mount and not very practical. Projection lenses are designed for long throws which mean the minimum focus distances are terrible (5m+), and you have to use diopters to do even the most basic portrait shot. There’s also a dearth of information on such lenses, you never know quite what you’re buying. There are a vast array of projection lenses available yet nobody has shot any footage of worth with them - so that tells us a lot.
Any help would be apriciated
