Use of Film Lenses?

[Shane Ross]

Which camera? HVX-200? HPX-500? HPX-2000?

The HVX-200 has a built in lens…non-removable. Not sure about the other ones.

There are adapters to use a variety of lenses, even on fixed-lens cameras. Here are a few:

I apologize for not mentioning the camera I was referring too. Its the Panasonic HPX500. Can you mount film lenses to the body?

The 500 has a standard B4 lens mount.. So any lens with this mounting will work. When using primes the 500 is supposed to have a switch that flips the image for proper viewing. DVXuser has a couple great threads on different lenses and the HPX500.

I have an HPX500 and use the Zeiss Digi-Primes with it all the time. They look great.

I have also used Pro35 with Zeiss Super Speeds, but prefer the Digi Primes because there is no light loss.

Arthur,

Which primes are in your collection? How much was the investment?

I am planning to purchase the 500, and the use of prime lenses is the reason.
