10mm PL mount low-light?

[michael zaletel]

Can anyone recommend a PL mount, 10mm super-wide-angle lens with the largest possible aperture for shooting indoors in low-light?

I apologize in advance if this has already been covered in another post.

Custom made PL mount 10mm for F5.6
It's an orthographic projection glass.

Is there a link for this?

Honestly, I probably need F1.8-2.8 max. Is that possible? Doesn't have to be cheap. Looking for the best available 10mm F1.8 if it exists.

Someone explain if I'm missing something on this possibility.

Arri have a 10mm ultra Prime that is widely available. The actual aperture size may be f1.8 but transmission is T2.1

Why do you need exactly 10mm? If you can go to 12mm there are more options. (10mm is pretty wide..)

There isn't commercial 10mm, F1.8 or T1.9.
You have to ask Nippon Kogaku or Carl Zeiss.
They make for scientific application.

closest one is: Zeiss makes 10mm T2.1 Arri Prime.

12mm would work. Which would have the largest aperture and the best price/value combination?

There is a 9.8mm/f1.8 Kinoptik that occasionally comes up on Ebay and some other places. Usually they are in Arri Standard mount and require an adapter. I have one (standard with an adapter) and have tested it on our Red. Works just fine, although certainly not as sharp as a modern zeiss or the like - just depends on what you need it for. It was used in the maze scene in the Shinning and a few other pretty well known examples.

Google it to find out more about the lens or search this forum. I think someone else may have posted some comments at some point...

It's actually a 10.5mm. And looks to be a very good deal. It's converted from a 16mm format, I believe, so it's smaller and lighter than the Zeiss 10mm. The Zeiss 10mm is T2.1. The UltraPrime is a 2.0. The Masterprimes are T1.3 but the widest is a 14mm.

What would these lenses typically cost to rent weekly or monthly? Are they available in Phoenix area. I'd much prefer to rent first.

Max it's not converted from a 16mm format, it's converted from a 16mm 35 format lens, then they add a aspheron type optical element.

Shooter should be around $100-175 a day
