Hi, Mark
I appreciate the advice on the Schneiders. It will be more efficient for
me
to get an adapter for the Arri lenses that I already have. I have the
standard 28-50-75mm Schneiders for the Arri 2c. I'll just have to get me
a
10mm Schneider for the wide shots and I should be fine as far as primes
for
the ACL are concerned. I'll probably test the Angenieux against the
Schneiders anyway. If there's a vast difference in sharpness, I'll put
them
up on eBay.
Cordially
Vic
PS: I enjoyed the discussion on Super 16 vs... 35mm that a few of us
have
been posting. Thanks to everyone for your response to my original
enquiry.

There are two kinds of Arri-S adapters for the ACL. One screws into the
C-mount thread, the other into the outer threads of the flange (similar
to
the CA adapter). The latter is preferable. Even though I haven't ever
done a
comparison against Schneider lenses, from what I hear they should be
vastly
superior to the Ang primes. Mark.
