Hardev Singh Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Hi everyone, I can get a Canon 8-64 (for my bmpcc) in Arri Bayonet Mount. I've read that there is two versions of the lens, i suppose that this one is the MK1 version (because of the older Arri B mount). So i wonder : -Anyone know if the PL mount MK2 version is optically better ? (i've read perhaps better in term of flare) -Are the two versions separate by a huge amount of years or they were lauched in the same period? Thank's in advance, it's hard to find informations on the two versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob spence Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 My understanding is that all canon 8-64 lenses are the same. Except they changed their colour from black finish to dark grey finish...and there was no change mechanically or optically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob spence Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 p.s. mine is grey finish and has a B mount with a PL permanent adapter fitted to it....this was collimated at Arri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk DeJonghe Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 The early versions had the footage scale too close together, the later version solved this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
