Canon 7-63?

[Krzysztof Zawieja]

Hi,

Please confirm whether it is Canon 7-63 s16 LENS (attached mft - pl)

I'm asking, because i haven't seen 7-63 in that body shape.

I'm not sure. I know that 8-64 is a S16 lens.
7-63 could be 16mm only... usually that's the way it goes - longer FL = bigger coverage. But it could be S16 as well...

I'm pretty positive that that is the Canon 7-56mm, which was only for regular 16mm (see here for a comparison): http://www.ebay.com/itm/370978860797

The 8-64 was the super 16 version of this lens. However, standard 16mm lenses cover 2k, so it depends on what you want to do with it.

Just out of curiosity, if standard 16mm covers 2k and super16 is also limited to 2k, wouldn't it make sense to get the cheaper regular-16mm lenses (if you're considering that range of lenses)? Or are people actually shooting 3k, and then cropping to ~2.5k with super 16 lenses?

I'd like to use it with bmpcc. Thanks to Joshua, i read that it's going to vignette hard until 8mm.
On the other hand, i can buy it for 1300$. So still it should be good option for documentary lens to BMPCC.
Moreover, 1300$ is the price for metabones speedbooster and sigma 18-35 1.8.
