richg101 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 A great lens for character on smaller chips like 4k gh4 and bmpcc, but as Tito has said... this aint single focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Who bought this, must regret. http://www.ebay.com/itm/141889067943 So I doubt Century had ever made good lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the DS-1609 model, the WS-13 listed above is far rarer and better in many respects. $320 USD for a DS-1609 is actually a good deal! valery akos and Tito Ferradans 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I owned it before, that is the poorest ana lens I had. If you accept the IQ, I have no words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yes one should do their research before buying one of these to avoid unrealistic expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tito Ferradans Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Sorry Ken, but I have to disagree with you. I've had 4 or 5 of these small Century adapters, and I still like them a lot. It's gonna be tough selling the last one. The best thing about them is they're small and light. I have tests to prove it can achieve decent IQ even on full frame, which is tougher than smaller sensors. (start at 4m13s) But I still have the WS-13, which is considerably better.

ken Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Looks all 1.33x Ana lenses are difficult to get clear image on edge. Soligor is better then acceptable, and lighter then century's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when there is 22% European VAT on top. That would make it $4880 in all. Just curious as I'm after one and I've never seen one that expensive... Need to be sure before I part with cash.

It's almost double focus, but not quite. If you watch my review you'll understand. redimp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristieEnglish Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I ended up purchasing lucabutera's lens and I love it. It works great with my Samsung NX1 and 50-150 S lens. Bold, richg101 and valery akos 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweak Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 1.33x seems not worth the hassle in my opinion. Better just to get a filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
