Fujis with adapted C-mount lenses

[goamules]

Yes, there are a few c-mount lenses that cover the APS-C sensor, mostly over 50mm. But for telephoto purposes, some of these 16mm movie camera lenses are very good. The first I've been using on my XE-1 is a Kern 75mm Macro Switar, with pre-settable aperture. It is a very sharp, contrasty lens.

For portraits, there is no better name than Cooke. I had this Ivotal 50mm 1.4 recently cleaned by DAG, and it's a keeper. Softer glow, less contrast, it isn't quite as cuttingly sharp as a Canon 50/1.4. Which can be a good thing.

No one else using c-mount cine lenses on the Fujis?

I have some. My Wollensak 25/1.5 is the best one on my X-E1
I'll post samples when I can.

I have other c-mount lenses.
The $35 Fujian 35/1.7 can do wonders.
