p.1 #1 · Pictures with CCTV Lenses Thread.

Just got a 25/1.4 1/2 inch CCTV lens in the mail. I put it on the NEX, and got some not-half-bad photos with it:

The flare is pretty bad wide open, but seems to go away at f/2.

Share some of your photos!

Wow. 0.95? Does it cover enough for NEX? That's crazy fast, and great pictures with it too!

As for the 35/1.7, that looks like my next lens.

thanks-

for those interested, the Pentax CCTV 25mm f1.4 is easy to find NIB on ebay for <$90. Don't pay B&H prices.

What's the difference between that one and the one I shot with? I got mine for $15..

Is it the same coverage?

Is yours a Pentax? Is yours new?
This is the one I'm talking about, and have owned. It is a 1" format lens.

Hi,

No, I wish it did (too much fall-off), so it stays on the G2 for now. I have used it on the OM-D with similar good results. It was found during another of my "pawn-shop crawls" in Reno last summer...
I also found a 8.5mm f1.5 and 2.6mm f1.6 fisheye, which I have not played with yet. I paid more for lunch and a brew than I did for the three...

Regards,

Edd

Hi Brock,

If I can get some time tommorow, I'll shoot some photos of the lenses in my lab. The fisheye may not cover the u4/3 format at all, but the 8.5mm should.

I also found a 12.5-75mm zoom (missing aperture scale) that will need some "love" and a new mount before I can test it. It does have a 10-blade iris, so just for that I will spin-up the CNC system for a bit to make the mount.

Regards,

Edd
