Have anyone tried those 25mm 1.4 CCTV lenses on micro 4/3?

Click here to see on Ebay and Click here to see on Ebay

Any idea of the amount of vignetting?
I have one similar for 2/3" sensor but it seems smaller than those 2.

a fair bit... not too bad if shoot 1:1 aspect ratio. I'm at work right now so I can't post any picture.

Smile thanks
Please post one when you have time.
It will be interesting to see if it vignettes as heavy as the 2/3" version.

I 'm not expecting miracles from this toy lens - it will be just for fun.

I own this lens.
It's a C-Mount lens so I guess it's the wrong area in this forum. (--> Cine Lenses)

I'm only able to test it on NEX-3 (1.5 crop sensor), as I dont's have a MFT camera etc.

It shows strong vignetting and distortion on 1.5 crop sensor
More or less sharp in the center wide open.

Stopped down to 5.6 or 8:

I think it will be the counter-part to the 35mm F1.7 on NEX in vignetting.
Look http://forum.mflenses.com/sensor-sizes-superimposed-on-aps-c-image-take-with-12-5mm-c-t44931.html for cpmparision of NEX with MFT

I never used it for a "real pictures" as vignetting is to strong for my taste and I'm to lazy to crop the edges.

I have also the 35mm 1.7 made by Fujian which does cover the sensor much better and makes a lot fun on NEX and I guess also on MFT.
Look at http://forum.mflenses.com/fujian-35mm-f-1-7-t37181.html for information about it's 35mm 1.7 sister.

I took it out and found that it no longer works! (can't focus anymore) Evil or Very Mad

As far as I remember, the shadow in the corners get darker and darker until you hit f8. At f8 the corners are literally black. It's no where as severe as on aps-c (nex) but the vignette was there and noticeable.

Edit: ok silly me, I got the lens working now.

at f/2.8

Thank you - It does look nice.
Well you have the swirls but still it's not very bad.

Maybe i will give it a try until i find a reasonably priced 25mm f1.4 Leica DG Summilux.
I have missed the black friday bargain from Panasonic's website until i sort my paypal troubles.
