RE: Eclair Cameras: Shooting 35mm lenses on 16mm camera-response

[august loessberg <jerdog@ou.edu>]

Nikor still lenses use a different helical mount internal to the lense they
do not zoom properly for motion picture film work.  Nikors are the best
prime you can buy.
The myth that 35mm lenses are telephoto to 16mm is a myth.  A lens focal
length is static.  A nikor 35mm is a 35mm is a 35mm. The focal length is
constant only the image circle is different. Compare a 24mm Nikor 35mm to a
25mm for 16mm the image is about the same.

Thanks, and that does answer PART of my question, but the main one is that
people claim the zooming on the Nikon will not look proper on film, and that
these lenses are not set up properly to zoom while filming?

The lens that is on the camera is the 35-135, or something like that, and he
says it is fine, but many people say it is not good to zoom with Nikon
lenses.
