The Benoist Berthiot 70mm f1.8 is a very rare lens and it will be hard to find, but you can find many interesting projector lenses online.

so dreamy, I reckon a lens like this with a cinema housing would do really well in a rental house

@MathieuStern Жыл бұрын

For dream sequences or flash backs it would be great in a cinema housing, maybe someone could create a 3D printed protoype

@TheSynthnut Жыл бұрын

Indeed, it really would be an excellent "dream sequence" or "flash-back" style lens. Just need a helicoid with low enough resistance for a follow-focus unit to cope with.

how strong is the field curvature for the focus? I have a 60s for 16mm motion picture. Meopta Openar (I have a full set) but the 40mm f/1.8 gives a bit of swirly as well. It covers mft and I haven't tried larger sensors.

@zhuanjifarms5050 Жыл бұрын

Damn I dig your "way" of photography. You inspired me to finally cut off the rear housing to expose the rear element of my projector lens and generally determine infinity focus . . .then shoved it in a section of a Minolta extension ring with some black craft foam to take up the slop to "zoom focus". Gorgeous images; very high level of correction fer sure.

Do 85mm f2.8 35mm slide protectors lenses swirl? I see so many different slide protectors with the same focal length & aperture

@MathieuStern Жыл бұрын

to swirly it needs to be a fast lens, so 2.8 will not swirl. you need to stay under F2

@BariumCobaltNitrog3n Жыл бұрын

It looks like a 35mm projector? What size image was it designed to project? I'm guessing 3 elements in the lens (maybe 2 no need for a relay), no f-stops, shooting wide open, zero depth of field because it didn't need any. 75-100 focal length? Would love to see some festival lighting in the background at night.

@Fran-sr1sb Жыл бұрын

any proyector lens recomended for dslrs? since they have a longer flange distance u guess its bit harder to come by with lenses that can be used

@TheSynthnut Жыл бұрын

Longer flange distances can be easier to cope with than ones that are too short. I obtained a nice looking Schneider Kreuznach Super Cinelux but it just falls short. Mirrorless users have an easier time in general as mirror-clash is limiting factor. For really long flange distances with lenses that have screw style barrels you can often re-purpose the original sleeve to give coarse focus and leave the fine setting to a dedicated helicoid unit.

@Fran-sr1sb Жыл бұрын

@@TheSynthnut i found a small positive projector with a simple disassemble that fits perfectly with my extention tubes for my canon dslr, but when trying it without attaching it to it in any way, it doesnt bring out any distinct characteristics like other lens. Looking around it seems like a lot of projectors have that same lens. It is an ernolux 75mm f2.5. I want to get more cool bokeh or flare lenses, but no idea how to find them, or at least what the names of them are.

That bokeh quality is so soft that it makes helios bokeh very ugly. Shame they didnt make more of these at the time. Feels closer to something hollywood would use than a helios or even petzval
