One thing I found to be very good on the Century is it being bayonet mount, which is great for documentary work. There's one Sony VCL-HG0872 on Ebay now. Last edited by Carlos E. Martinez; October 25th, 2006 at 01:42 PM. |

Well, I just scored a used but perfect shape Canon .8 72mm wide angle adapter lens for land use.....unless anyone has this lens and can offer an opinion, I guess I will find out how good it is the hard way, lol.

The 0872 appears like one of the best choice right?Anyone that uses it?

Apart from when I'm using a Brevis 35mm, my HG0872 hasn't been off my Z1 since I bought it. (When it first came out).
Great bit of glass with little lens flare, CA or distortion compared to an early Optex WA which was total crap, perhaps they have improved since? This short reel was all shot through it: My Short Video Showreel on Vimeo Some of the adverts on here - CDC, Victoria, Artisan: http://www.darkhorsegraphics.co.uk/s...howreel_08.mov Duncan.

Also to say, it's a heavy bit of glass.
My Vocas Wide mattebox clips straight onto it, it's exactly the right size. So I don't need rails, which is great. Some pics You've probably worked it out but it threads onto the front of the Z1, some people says it's a sticky thread, but I get no problems if I thread it slowly and carefully. More clips: Index of /JIB_SHOTS In fact, lots of the wedding footage on that site is through the WA lens.

Tom Hardwick swears by a Bolex Aspheron that he uses on his Z1. Here's a link to some test photos:

Tom lens is great, buying one and getting filter/mattebox etc is the problem though ;-0

I know a lot of people who have never taken it off from the z1 once it has been mounted on.When you exactly suggest to use it?I mean when your shooting ouside and you find a nice landscape it's ok to leave it on, but what if you have to shoot an interview with the interviewd guy in front of mountains or a landscape,Should i leave it on?Cause it's what i always do....

Of course that was then, if I had the $4000 (for that Canon adapter) to spend today, I would probably aim it in the direction of a Nikon 14-24/2.8 UWA seated snugly on the about to be announced 1080p/24 Nikon D400.

I'm very interested in a bolex aspheron, but I can't find anyone who sells it.
Can anyone suggest somewhere I can get one, and what sort of money I would be likely to pay? I don't mind doing a spot of engineering on the mounting :-) |
