I'm sorry, I don't understand those prices. Yes, I know how to convert yen. But they don't make sense.

What an interesting looking set of lenses..

Clicker · 02-03-2012, 05:32 PM

Where do you get the adapter? Thanks.

*edit* nevermind found a slew of adapters on Ebay for not only the "C" lenses but for my Canon and Nikon ....*nice*

The Pentax 8mm f1.4 is beautiful. Amazing how much bigger the front element has to be to go from Q # 01 f1.9 to this.
thanks

anyone found some example shots with these lenses, especially at f1.4?

SteveNunez · 02-06-2012, 02:34 PM

When are these going to be available?

Verglace · 02-07-2012, 05:57 AM

those lenses with the red strip look pretty darn cool.

aurele · 02-07-2012, 06:56 AM

100 000 Yen = 1300$

(1$ = 75 Yen)

Quite cool in the spec, but, what does it render in real ?

Clicker · 02-07-2012, 08:27 AM

You should see the prices of the Schneider lenses

audiobomber · 02-07-2012, 09:58 AM

Is the crop factor 5.62? i.e. 5mm x 5.62 = 28mm FF equivalent?

Fully manual or auto exposure?

What is the general quality of C-mount lenses?

I just noticed the price translation. A $1300 lens on a Q is not that interesting.

aurele · 02-07-2012, 10:42 AM

those lenses are made for cinema at first, not the Q. That explain the price.

CCTV lenses are not made for cinema. CCTV = Close Circuit TeleVision.

These lenses are ctually for high quality secuirty cams, detail should be insane, big time casinos and banks use these lenses in mass amounts...
