CCTV C-mount lens on micro 4/3

[Latente]

i can use these cctv lenses

http://www.pentax.jp/japan/imaging/security/cctv/05.html

on micro 4/3 cameras?

thanks.

Of course you CAN use them since they hace c-mount, BUT since they are made for max. 2/3" sesnors, they will only cover a fraction of your camera's sensor. Don't forget that you need a 21mm image diameter for full sensor coverage!!

You got it!

I came across some lenses for 1/3 CCTV, these were CS mounts with a slightly shorter register than C mount and only good for macro work.

did you read about this lens?

http://noktor.com/

it's smelling of cctv

i find this that was quite similar:

GMY45095MCN

[wilson.c]

Did you check out the other discussion on the Manual Focus Lens section?

I agree, there are several Japanese companies making fast CCTV lenses and this looks like their own OEM version with a m4/3 mount.

how about this?

Senko VFA1213 12.5mm F1.3 $312.00

[wilson.c]

The 1" format it should be ok. I noticed this too:

VFA5095H 50.0mm F0.95 Manual $897.00

Specs just like the Noktor and even more expensive!!

There are two Pentax 25mm 1.4, one 2/3, another 1'' format. Both around less than $100, the 1'' one is back ordered in B&H though.

There is a review here, not sure if this is 2/3 or 1''

With a tip from apicius9 I am getting the 1'' soon

O and here's a google doc made by some other forums' member on the coverage of some C-lens

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p9kkgjwEQQQ-HJwvNDobeEw

Looks like most shorter than 25mm do not have full coverage of the m4/3 sensor

Saw some shots from the Noktor

http://www.flickr.com/photos/theleggett/4396089064/in/set-72157623527995554/

The lens' bokeh doesn't suit me and seems very low contrast when there's light sources in the picture as in some shots within the series above.

I would rather save and pay a little more money to buy a CV Nokton 50/1.1 instead.

It was a pretty nice idea anyway, taking a lower cost TV lens and re-market is as a high-end manual m4/3 lens.

There's a poll on the Noktor site asking which lens mount they should make next. EF is winning by a landslide. How they plan to cover a FF sensor with these should be interesting.
