Are these still lenses converted into cine lenses? If so I assume the focal lengths relate to full-frame 35mm format, yes?

 

[Fred Salaff]

No. These are cine lenses of about 20 years of age...but in top notch condition both optically and cosmetically.

The focal lengths would always the same, however on a different format the AOV will be different. A 50mm lens is always a 50mm lens

Lens question

Lens question

Are these K-35's? Are they in PL mount?
Thanks

 

[Rick Darge]

These are definitely Canon K-35s, built between 1976-1982~. They are amazing lenses. I am biased and own a set but honestly, they're gorgeus. I just ACed a feature and the DP said they were his new favorites. He liked them more than the Cookes. The 24, 35, 55, 85 are all full frame. The 18 will cover 5k but not 6k. 12 blade iris. Dope. Fred, good luck with your asking price.

 

[Fred Salaff]

Yes, PL Mounts

 

[Zakaree Sandberg]

Id say 6 grand too much?

 

[Rick Darge]

Think about the future though. These lenses will be worth more once the FF cameras come out I think... unless lens makers start pouring out full frame cine glass, there aren't many options right now

You're right. I was thinking of s35mm "equivalent" focal length.

I'm always learning something new here. :smiley:

 

[Dave Blackham]

We these lenses manufactured by Canon ? Id always thought they were rehoused stills glass.

 

[Fred Salaff]

Yes, and not original stills glass. These are classic, gorgeous cine lenses.

 

[Fred Salaff]

Sold.

 

[Tony Rudenko]

I actually have a set of these (BNCR), but my housings don't have the yellow markings on them, I'm guessing they were put there as ownership identification.?... But does anybody know the history of these lenses, ie: were there multiple runs of them, are they all the same design/glass throughout the runs... Any info on these babies would be greatly appreciated, as I am always being asked about them...

TIA

 

[Rob Gardner]

Tony, do you use these lenses? If they are K-35's they have quite a history including winning an Oscar, but they are older lenses. I'd be interested in any information people have about them also. I understand they are difficult (but not impossible) to convert to PL mount.

 

[Fred Salaff]

I also have a set of these Canons in BNCR mounts and am investigating their conversion to PL mounts. Will share info when I get it.
