SURVEY for Allstar 18-35 zoom lens

[David Kellermann]

re-house leica-R would be amazing!

GL optics is making a full set of rehoused Leica R lenses.

 

[Dan Kanes]

Yessssssssss

Tom,

If I already own a sigma 18-35 (EF), can I mail it to you for the rehousing?

 

[Tommaso Alvisi]

Could you make the front thread 77mm??

what about a 114mm front diameter? All my PL lenses are that size, I imagine that to be true to a lot of people...

+1 on both!!

Please Tom!

72mm / 95mm Lite
77mm / 114mm Cinema

!!!

 

[Mathias Erichsen]

...or maybe 77mm threads and 80mm outside

 

[ALLSTAR]

Hey my friends,
I like the lens to be compact, please give me a good reason that why we can`t use set-up ring on mattebox? 114mm is huge and the weight will be increased.

Yes you can, but you will need to pay shipping fee and longer producing time.

You are right Tom,

but the fact is, 95mm is almost used only by Ultra Primes, everything else is using 114mm nowadays...CP.2, Canon CN-E Primes and Zooms, Angenieux, Fujinon, etc etc!

I'd say either 80mm OD or 114mm if you ask me...

 

[Kirk.Attard]

I like 95. All good matteboxes have stepup rings or reducers to 95mm. But 114 is cool too.

 

[Dan Kanes]

80 or 95 is cool for me. Thanks!

 

[Ken Willinger]

I'd be happy with 80.

 

[Tommaso Alvisi]

Tom, any news on the 18-35?

 

[ALLSTAR]

Hi,
The factory is producing the lens parts.
It will have 77mm thread and 95mm OD, 80mm OD is impossible.

 

[Patrick Tresch]

It will have 77mm thread and 95mm OD.

I'm happy with that! I like it small.

[Kirk.Attard]

Sounds good so far. Really looking forward to see picturea of the lens.

ok that's fine Tom, E.T.A.?

 

[George Su]

Tom,
Love the changeable lens mount feature for the sigma 15-35.
is this a feature that can be applied to the 80-200 as well? If I could have this lens in EF + PL, that would be amazing!

 

[Joe Kamimura]

Any updates so far?

 

[Tommaso Alvisi]
