James Martin Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hi Selling my S16 zoom lens. Was hoping to sell it as part of a kit with my SR3 (see other listing), but getting a lot of enquires about the lens on its own. Very good condition, will be thoroughly checked by ARRI before sale. Comes with hard case, nothing else. 100% working. Ex-rental lens, so not cosmetically perfect. This is a very recent S16 lens, much better than even the fabled 8-64 Canon. S16 zooms didn't get any better, by all accounts this is sharper than most S16 primes. Price: £4,000 GBP + VAT for UK buyers. No VAT for EU or outside of EU buyers. Will ship worldwide in the price.

petr lom Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 hi there - am interested in your lens. can you tell me where you are located? i am in amsterdam. (ideally i would fly over and test out the lens.) and what is your best price for the lens? i have a canon 8-64 zoom that i use on my sony f5 in the centerscan mode. but it is unusably soft on the wider end. i wanted to ask you how much better/sharper is the 6.6 zoom. thanks a lot.... petr. my email: petr@lomfilms.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted July 21, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted July 21, 2014 i have a canon 8-64 zoom that i use on my sony f5 in the centerscan mode. but it is unusably soft on the wider end. Softness at the wide end of a zoom is very commonly due to the lens back-focus needing callibration (or a back-focus error introduced by an adapter). 8-64s are not normally unusably soft. Should be a simple job for a lens technician. But a 6.6-66 would be a very nice upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Martin Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 For anyone reading the above, my lenses were collimated by ARRI a few weeks ago and reported to be 100%. They look basically unused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted July 21, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted July 21, 2014 Apropos of nothing. Did they ever make ENG-style zoom grips for these? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Martin Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'm not sure that they did. I'm down to my last one of these and they have mostly been going out with LCS systems as I had a few of those in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted July 21, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted July 21, 2014 Sigh. I totally would, and put it on a Blackmagic or something, but none of my clients could afford it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
