Originally posted by Ben_Edict There is also a Tokina with the same f/2.6 max. aperture. But that is not a real advantage over the standard f/2.8 zooms, just about 1/4 f-stop. I guess, if it was an "improvement" Tokina would still produce it, but it was superseded by the more common f/2.8 version.
Then there's the M42 Zenit 17-69mm f/1.9 manual zoom lens for Krasnagorsk 16MM cine cams. But a 16MM or Super16 frame is much smaller than even a 110 frame, let alone an APS-C sensor. So yes, it's a Pentax screwmount, but I suspect the vignetting would be unbearable even on a Pentax 110 SLR. I'll try to find specs on that lens...
Look here [
The Krasnogorsk-3 (K-3) 16MM Film Camera - Filmmaking ] at that lens on a windup K3 cine cam, and you see that it's short but wide. Looks like a fun camera to use.
format ----- frame size -------- diagonal (min. image circle)
-------------- -------------------- -----------
16MM ------ ~10.25x7.5mm -- 12.7mm
Super16 --- ~12.5x7.4mm --- 14.5mm
110 format: 17x13mm -------- 21.4mm
ApS-C dSLR ~25x16.7mm ---- 30mm
EDIT1: The lens is called the Meteor 5-1 (or maybe Meteor 3-2). I'm still looking for specs. I search eBay for METEOR ZOOM LENS and find various offerings, all CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP and probably unusable on our SLRs. Bother...
EDIT2: Here [
eBay.ph: METEOR-3-2 ZOOM LENS 1.9/17-69mm FOR KRASNOGORSK-3I (item 230369372265 end time Mar 18, 2010 21:39:23 PHT) ] is the lens on eBay. From the fuzzy photos, the rear element looks to extend quite a way into the camera body. A SLR's mirror probably wouldn't like that very much.
