Hey there! I recently got my hands on my own 16mm camera an arriflex 16bl ? I got the camera with a angenieux 12-120 T2.2 which is super nice! But I would love to have a bit wider lens in my setup. I've been looking on ebay but I just can't find a wide angle for this camera. I believe it's a ARRI B mount but can't find lenses wider than 12 online. Do any of you know which wide angle lenses (<12) will fit my camera? Would love to get some suggestions! Thanks!

Rigging the light 6 meters up so that should be fine! Thanks Karim

Thanks so much and happy to hear this would work great on film ? Shooting on 250D cause it's the only thing available at the moment where I live. I do plan to lift the shadows a bit with a big butterfly to get contrast right and don't underexpose the 250.

Hey people, In two weeks im shooting my first passion project on 16mm. Really exciting but scary at the same time as im dealing with some difficult lighting situations and I need some help. So on the day I have a spotlight coming from top pointing straight down on the actor. (see reference pics from my test attached) My plan was to measure the shadows with my light meter but im scared the highlights will be too blown out cause there is that big of a difference in exposure. What would you do in this situation? I've heard some people take their digital camera with them to measure the exposure as well. Is that something I could do in this situation? Thanks for understanding i'm really keen to learn more about film. Noah
