CS to C mount for a Bolex?

Post by seekaee »

Sadly, We all know you can't use those cheap C mount CCTV lenses on a Bolex Rex, but maybe there's a chance of using a CS Lens? With a CS to C mount adaptor like the one their selling at Spytown, you can fit a CA lens on a C mount TV camera.

So, you Guy's think there's any chance of this adaptor fixing the Bolex issue :idea: or is it just another "bonus" to owning a Beaulieu R16 :)

Hi,

you can't use a CS-mount-lens on a camera that expects a C-mount-lens because the CS-mount's focal length is shorter:
