Blackmagic Forum

I know folks have been talking about wide angle lens options for this camera for a bit now, and I know it's recently released, so there's still a bit of time, but I've really notices a lack of lens options in the 24mm Full Frame equivelant on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. I really like this focal length as it has a really cinematic vibe to it. But according to the crop factor, a 24mm divided by a crop factor of 2.88 equals 8mm. And as you know...there's not a lot of fast lens options, available in that range. I know there are a few vintage lens options floating around, but they seem to be on the more expensive "cine" side.
I've also played around with a Tokina 11-16 with a Nikon Mount Metabones Speedbooster, and that's pretty nice, but can also get a little pricey with the Tokina 11-16 costing about $599, and the Metabones Speedbooster costing about $450 or so, but essentially takes care of that focal length.

Are there any other options that people are trying out in this wide angle focal length?

If you want both a wide and a fast lens, you'll have to spend some serious money. If "fast" isn't your priority you could try the olympus 9-18 (1:4-5.6) at around 500€.

Well there are always the Rokinon Cine lenses. But they aren't particularly fast. I have a 9.5mm T1.3 super-speed, but that's a cine lens in both cost and lens mount.
