Lens Options for Fixed...

[Aaron Power]

Yes that sounds like a stupid question but what I'm referring to are lenses that will basically act like an adapter. I do a lot of skateboard videography (fisheye necessary) and the skits I film are mainly in small spaces (wide angle).

I know it has a 77mm lens thread, but are companies going to be making these kind of lens attachments for the fixed scarlet? (trying to figure out if the fixed setup makes sense or if i should just go non-fixed).

Google searches turn up little to nothing in the 77mm thread department and I'd prefer to avoid step-up rings as they almost always fuck up my picture.

Thanks

Good question aaron, and what about teleconverters, couldnt these be part of a package deal ? graham

At this moment, I'm sure there are some 3rd party companies working on wide angle and telephoto adapters for the fixed lens scarlet.

Agreed Brad, I bet 16x9inc will have something nice for the Fixed as soon as they can get their hands on it. There will probably be third party products of all types.

I'm not sure if this info is correct but the focal length equivalency is somewhere in the neighborhood of 25-200. If you have to go wider than 25 you probably want to seriously look into with the interchangeable lens scarlet and see if the mini primes or some 16mm glass will give you what you are looking for. I can't remember the smallest mini-prime, but they have a good range. In addition the interchangeable lens scarlet will allow you to use canon or nikon lenses (read autofocus) with the proper mount.
