feathered_head Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hi -- I've been wondering if anyone has paired the Sankor 16-C with the SLR Magic Hyperprime 50mm f0.95? This would be used with a GH2. Good match? Any problems? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeldlab Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Tried it together with a Canon FD 50mm today, slightly vignetting. Together with Voigtlander 25mm in crop mode works well, but not as wide we want it to be. Ordered on old Helios 58mm, hope that work well.

gh2sound Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Have a Lomo Square Eiki (esentially a Sankor 16F) and various Century and generic focus thru anamorphics, and it's very hit and miss with the marriage of front and back for me - bizzarely took the 20mm Lumix Pancake and generic 1.5x focus thru to Indonesia lat year and was best footage - given time and prep shot can be made of course , Im just lazy lol. Like old valve amps on a guitar, don't mind a bit of rough on a picture on the edges - like the human eye IMHO, as I told an editor today who was bemoaning the time he had - he'd had 2 weeks more than Kubrik on 2001 to finish, and believe me what he was chopping involved no black monoliths ;p What I'm trying to say is - if it looks nice fk it - it is :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feathered_head Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Yeah -- I ordered a Helios 58mm at the same time as the Sankor but still waiting for it to arrive from Russia so I can test the system. Good information to know it vignetted with the Canon 50mm because that was my back-up plan! I read the Jupiter 9 is really nice with the Sankor, but again, very long wait times from Russia and hit or miss with the quality. I wonder if the Zeiss Planar 85mm might be a good option with the Sankor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
