  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

New Canon Primes Price Announced!

I was testing the new 24mm yesterday. The coatings are greatly improved over the prototypes. Very low flaring.

The Canon Cinema Primes will all cover the Full Frame stills format (aka VistaVision) as used on the Canon 5D. 43mm image circle, 36x24 frame.
 
Is 24mm the widest there is going to be?

For anyone interested, I'll have one of the 24mm lenses to test out over the weekend. I'll run it through the paces and see how it performs.

Let us know how it goes, even better if you could post some frame grabs.

Any idea how the lens color compares to say a cooke or zeiss?
 
Yeah I'd be interested in a set of these if they were PL.

Absolutely no interest in EF mount, especially since I sold the 5d and bought a D800.

If they rounded that out with a 35mm that would be a nice set.

What is your opinion of this lens versus the Nikon 24mm f/1.4 G?
Yeah, I too would love to see sharp 14mm...18mm fast prime that would cover 36mm x 24mm frame.
 
Canon has stated that there will be wider lenses in the set, but has not provided further details.

just a thought

just a thought

been thinking on this.. since i do not have the CP's maybe a lens tech or CP owner could chime in on this:

what woould happen if you mount these canon cine lenses on a zeiss ZE to PL adapter from the CP.2 series? would it fit/work? since canon mount should be canon mount, maybe with a shim? this would supply your PL mount on this wonderfull canonglass? normally you would not because you would loose arperture control on all those L lenses etc, but since this one is fully manual?

another thought; zeiss ZF with nikon to canonring and then the zeiss canon to PL adapter.. would be a bit like the b-stock superspeed I monsters (=
 
Won't work. Zeiss doesn't use an adapter to go between PL and Canon EF mounts. You remove one mount and replace it with another.
 
:emote_hippie:Guys relax,
It's just a matter of swapping the mount.
Either Canon will supply the mount (most likely) or I can make one easily enough, or any number of after market companies will.
with the after market you may not have the i-data (or LDS) initially however. Canon will most likely provide it.
Come to think of it this may be the holdup (on the PL) They need to put in the electronics to translate the Canon EOS protocol to either i-data format or LDS.
With the EF mount it's already in the right format....
