Angenieux 10-150 remount possibilities


Recommended Posts

My CP-16R died today.  Its mostly not worth fixing.  However, I do enjoy using that lens on special projects and I don't want to give it up.  I have the 10-150 zoom for 16mm in CP mount. 

What are my options for using this in PL, EF, or something else more useful?  I looked online and couldn't find an appropriate part, and I'm happy to send it off for re-mounting, but I don't want to pay thousands.  I also can't seem to find a CP to whatever adapter so I could just keep the original CP mount.

 

Any thoughts?

Du-All has a few CP-16 adapters - most work the other way, allowing Arri B or S mount lenses to be used on a CP-16 camera, but there is one adapting CP-16 lenses to MFT:

You could probably have someone like Les Bosher make an adapter to C mount, but it might cost more than the lens is worth. 

10-150 zooms are pretty cheap on eBay, most sell for less than $500. Because they don’t cover S16, and they’re fairly ubiquitous and vintage, you shouldn’t pay more than that. The easiest route is probably to sell yours and buy another one in a more adaptable mount, like Arri Bayonet or C mount.

Unless someone happens to have the original Angenieux parts, having the zoom remounted would definitely cost more than the lens is worth.

Ken Hale of Whitehouse Audiovisual remounted in stainless steel, the Angenieux 10-150mm zoom. I have one. With some examples of the lenses, there may be difficulty with interference to the aperture control ring. I bought the PL-Mount from Ken and fitted it myself in Australia. I would not recommend this route unless you have some serious fine mechanical skills for you will ruin something otherwise.
