My latest blog post: Shooting wide on the Cinema Camera

Yep, you can sure do it, and I show you some of the lenses I own and have used with our Cinema Camera.

Thanks for posting this, Marco!

Your Sigma 8-16mm results are especially helpful to me. It would be great if you could also show a BMCC frame of the same scene taken at the 16mm end of the lens.

By any chance do you have a Tokina 11-16mm available to test?

Cheers.

Great stuff! The 8mm is indeed quite wide and probably wider than you'd mostly use on a narrative kind of shoot. Fantastic to see the results.

It's funny seeing these blogger/pros posting their results with 15mm Zeiss lenses and admitting defeat, to the chagrin of all their readers who quickly disown the camera as a potential option. Just silly.

Peter: I don't have the Tokina 11-16mm yet. I'd like it, but I'm thinking of waiting for the Mk II to be released before I do. At f/2.8, it's looks like it could be a nice solution as well.

Nick: It amazed me that some people were brewing their own fear that this camera "couldn't shoot wide" before they even saw any in-camera images from an actual wide angle lens. Hopefully my blog post reaches them and their fears will be quelled. It's definitely more than capable in all regards, mattebox included.

Do you guys know how the peleng compares to the rokinon?
