Schneider 28mm f2 Xenon Arri standard mount coverage

A shop in the UK is selling a Schneider 28mm f2 xenon lens in standard Arri mount. I contacted the shop and they said it may cover 35mm, but they're unsure. Did Arri/Schneider make a 16mm version or was there only the 35mm version. Looking at the picture they sent me, it's definatly an Arri cine lens not some lens conversion of a 35mm still photography lens.

Many thanks, he also has a Carl Zeiss Sonnar 50mm f1.5 in Arri standard mounts do you know if this will too.

 

Most of the 50mm lenses in Arri Standard mount will cover 35mm. I know the Schneider 50 does, the Cooke Kinetal 50 does, and the one Zeiss I've seen does, don't remember if it was the Sonnar f1.5 though.

 

Best,

I just picked up one of these 28mm Schneider's for my Arri IIB, the lens is a bit beat up but the glass is good and looks great thru the viewfinder. One thing I had forgotten about the Arri standard mount; (like a C-mount lens) you can disengage the lens locks and you have a built-in adjustable extension tube for macro work.
