My vote still goes to Nikon mount SLR lenses. Their cheap (by film
standards), sharp, and I find the large barrels lend themselves very well

to

focusing while handheld. Downside is they aren't particularily fast and

wide

lenses aren't that wide in 16mm. You can get ACL-Nikon mounts occasionally
or a C-Nikon mount is easy to find and cheap. And they are great for S16
applications because you only use the inner (sharpest) portion of the

lens.

I just bought a Fujinon 12.5mm TV lens in c-mount. I'll post my results

with

that lens in the future.

I use them, but there's nothing fast or small below 20mm.
The original request was for a wide angle lens.


ps. As a side note does anyone know of a company that can convert the

stock

ACL CA-1 mount to Nikon? The Moviehouse in England used to do it but

they've

since discontinued.


Optical Electro House, Culver City, CA
(310) 204-6577.
They are the premier ACL techs in the US.

from that lens. does anybody have any suggestions for a prime lens on my
ACL?  i handhold alot and my angenieux zoom is a real pain.  the lens

should

be fairly wide. i would like it to be compatible with super 16 down the
road.  any advice?  what are other people using?   thanks.
