Jacobsanmartin Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I want to use a zoom with my anamorphic attachment but don't know where to start looking, I need it to be cheap, vintage, and obviously the front filters can't turn when zooming or focusing the lens any recommendations?

andy lee Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 what camera as the crop factor is important to know what zoom might even work !! full frame aspc micro 4/3 which????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I did some research before. Basically 70(80)-200(210) lens (equ 35mm) should work. As a cheap manual lens, Nikon AI-S 50-135 is the one, non rotating front glass, if I remembered. For APS-C, Tokina 50-135 f2.8 is best with auto focus. For M43, Panasonic 35-100 F2.8 is the one.

Jacobsanmartin Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 No manual aperture on that lens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itimjim Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 You can control the aperture in body. Do you need an aperture ring? Stepped apertures aren't great on SLR lenses for video, so there's not much advantage between controlling in body or on the ring except a little convenience.

Jacobsanmartin Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 It's a Nikon lens I have a canon body my camera won't be able to speak to the aperture control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobsanmartin Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'm sorry lol I was looking at the wrong lens! Well that lens is canon but it's 800 bucks And that's just way too much for me to spend on a lens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
