Michael Schroers Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hello ! I'm interrested in Nikon Cine-Lenses: How is their quality and look ? Whats the difference between them and normal Nikkor-Lenses for still photography ? Are Cine-Nikkors not as good as Kern Switar lenses in c-mount ?

kevin jackman Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Id like to know this as well, had a chance to have a set for about a hundred bucks although I doubt they even come close to the newest sitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Schroers Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi Kevin, If you don't want them, I do. TTT Hi tulio, do you know this lenses ? I'm very interested in them. How is their look compared to the switars ? Are there sharper or softer than them ? I don't understand, why this cine nikkors are so rare and nearly nobody knows anything about them . . .

Thomas Pohl Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I've never heard about Nikon Cine lenses. But there are some companies out who modifi still lenses for filming. Cheers Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Peich Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hello ! I'm interrested in Nikon Cine-Lenses: How is their quality and look ? Whats the difference between them and normal Nikkor-Lenses for still photography ? Are Cine-Nikkors not as good as Kern Switar lenses in c-mount ? Thanks Micha, Take a look: Nikkor Cine Lenses More Nikkor Cine In a Alan Gordon Enterprises catalog from 1985, they list the lenses in C-mount only: 10mm f/1.8 $549 13mm f/1.8 $469 25mm f/1.4 $412 50mm f/1.8 $513 100mm f/2.8 $522 I don't see the lens listed in other major "professional" film suppliers, so, possibly AGE was the sole importer of the Cine lenses to the U.S. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin jackman Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hi Kevin, If you don't want them, I do. TTT That was about 3 years ago. It would have been about 300 bucks to buy a beaulieu r16 with three nikkors on it. I should have bought them for interests sake but after doing some talking to people they arent that sharp.

Tulio Campregher Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I managed to find a set: 10mm / 25mm / 100mm mint as new.they look like they never have been used, therefor the focus rings are stuck, when I find someone who can fix them I will test them against other lenses. I read they were made for the Japanese Air Force for reconnaissance purposes, so they were as sharp as the European crop. Best, Tulio That was about 3 years ago.

Dave Eckert Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdRLXJYxAK8&feature=channel_video_title That is a quick test with the Cine-Nikkor 25mm f1.2 I hope to get more of the set to run some additional tests.
