Oops, So it actually IS parfocal haha. I just didn't do a proper test. Love the lens. Only gripe is the mins distance.

Just an update: I bought a 15-150 T3.1 Angenieux. Great lens, except it is not Parfocal :C

really cool man! You really brought out the intensity of this guy. Question for you: is your 15-150 Angie Varifocal or Parfocal? I bought one recently thinking it's parfocal :C I'm thinking to exchange it for the smaller Angie 17-68 parfocal. Has that been a hinderance for you in any way? Cheers, -Mo B

Interesting; i also hear the 10-150 covers the d16; if that’s the case then that’s the perfect All around zoom ?

Thanks Tyler; I was thinking to go with the 17-68 and a kern switar 10mm prime; good combo I think ?

Thanks again Dom! I actually found this just now: https://hotrodcameras.com/search.php?search_query=digital%20bolex&section=product It's a full mount replacement to PL, and I pretty much have to send my camera to them to take care of the swap. 1K. Not too bad considering it's a hard replacement of C mount. Someone else I spoke to who has a D16 has the MFT swap on it, and then he uses a PL to MFT adapter which is more secure. He said that it would be hard to shim a PL to C. But yes, if I'm mostly eye-focusing, it's really not a problem. Although then theres the issue of maybe not hitting infinity or close focus on the spot depending on a given lens?? Ahhh. I think doing the PL swap is most ideal then; just more pricey--but most ideal.

Hi all; hope you’re all doing well out there =] For my digital bolex d16, I was thinking to get a PL to C adapter, and use 35mm PL glass, and s16 PL glass. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.ca%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F262890672341 i am such a noob when it comes to things like “flange distance” or things like “the sensor needs to sit further back, so it won’t really work well”—does anyone know much about adapting c mount d16 to PL and if it’s okay or just a bad idea? Would crop factor or vignetting be worse? I wish it came with the hard front PL, but it has its original C mount, and I found a PL screw on adapter.... Your insight is much appreciated ?

Hi dom! Thank you for your insight, it was super helpful! Great advice too with checking lenses before buying on eBay blindly and such. only thing about 10-150; it looks a bit too long for run and gun/practical purposes, especially on a d16 ? range is awesome though; all-rounder for sure. im not interested in TV zoom lenses but I’ve seen some examples on Vimeo where the users really used them to their advantage on the d16. Hmmm. But better to stick with cine glass I would think. where did you get all that awesome knowledge about these old Angenieuxs’?? cheers! -Mo

Wow cool adapter--looks like mechanically it should work

Hi everyone; i originally posted in “Bolex” but there’s been no replies; I figured I should have posted the topic here! my first post here. Very excited to join the community! i just bought a digital bolex d16 I’m picking up soon—I don’t have too much experience with 16/s16 and older lenses. Im looking into the either Option A: Angenieux 10-150 T2.3 or Option B: Angeniuex 17-68 f2.2 + a 10mm lens (kern paillard or Angenieux) I’m not sure if the 10-150 would vignette at 2K ? there doesn’t seem to be enough info online about that lens. the 17-68 is great, fast, and more compact— but it becomes a bit of a tighter zoom after the crop factor (closer to 50-200mm?) so combined with a fast 10mm prime...it seems like a good kit. What would you guys/gals buy for glass? I’m not as experienced as you lot yet, so I hope to learn here ? thanks again; cheers, -Mo
