Wide Angle Zoom That Covers Dragon 6K

[Josh Melin]

I have a project coming up where I will be doing a lot of filming in an old prison cell. To avoid constant lens changing with our current set of primes I am looking for a wide zoom that is comparable to the Angenieux Optimo 17-80 that covers the Dragon 6K without noticeable vignetting. What other options are out there that either old or new? We have used the Zeiss Compact Zoom CZ.2 15-30mm T2.9 and were not too fond of the look of that lens. Any advice appreciated!

Upcoming Angenieux 15-40 EZ2 or Angenieux Style series 15-40.

Daniel Stilling may have the style series Angenieux and he lives in Florida as well.

Thank you Dan. I wasn't aware that Angenieux was coming out with this. Pretty neat that you can swap out an optical block to optimize the lens for either S35 or Vista Vision. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=46&v=xIf0Wf9-VRo

PL lenses:
Zeiss CP.2 15mm - cover Dragon 6K FF, my favourite
Sony CineAlta 11-16 - cover Dragon 5K, at 11mm best for slow-mo IMO

EF lenses:
Tokina 11-16 - cover Dragon 5K
Canon EF 11-24 - cover Dragon 6K

Doesn't the new Sigma 18-35mm T2.0 PL mount cover it?

If you can use wider angle, the Arri Zeiss 9.5-18 has no issues with Dragon 6k.

But does 5.5k on the Dragon.

I recommend the Sigma Art 12-24 f/4 or Sigma Art 14mm f/1.8, both $1599

As a side note, the OP's question inspired me to start a new thread: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showth...est-support-for-metric-system-in-7-x-firmware

The Ruby 14-24 cuts great with sharp primes.

Not a zoom but I've just ordered this one, cover the full Helium sensor and seems pretty good and fast for the price. ($2699)
