5 mm lens for landscape filming

simonsee · Post by **simonsee** » Mon May 06, 2002 12:39 am

Does anybody know of a camera with a 5mm zoom lens (or less) that costs around Ã‚Â£100?

I ask because i saw some photographs taken with a 20mm SLR camera and really liked them, and 5mm would be the equivalent for super 8.

would a 6.5mm lens do?

what does everyone else use for wide angle landscape shots??

I understand you can get wide converter lenses but don't these squash the picture?

Thanks

Simonsee.

There is a 6 mm on Beaulieu. Quite good as a Wide...

and you can add a schneider uwl III lens on this 6mm lens and get a 4mm wide angle...

Choose the one that fits your lens... itÃ‚Â´s in German but youÃ‚Â´ll figure it out...

Good luck
