If anybody has lens suggestions let me know, preferably under $100 ha, I've been eyeing some Bolex lenses. I'm more towards photography than video although I will say the video quality from this camera by default, the colors really pop.
I'm not sure if it's true, it seems like the best lens for this sensor is the blue ring 16mm 10MP one. Best in terms of resolving power/quality.
I bought these so far:
Fujinon TV-Z lens 9.5-152mm (this was a fail b-mount, listed as C-mount on ebay but I didn't know, need to design a B-C adapter)
Revere-Scienar Anastigmat 25mm F2.5 vintage (works fine, have to unscrew focus)
Vivitar 75-200mm Nikon AF mount (works great with F-C adapter, need tripod/stabilization, sometimes has purple even with ND filter)
Kodak Anastigmat 20mm F3.5 cine lens (works fine, have to unscrew focus)
Canon TV Zoom lens 15-75mm C mount (need to try this one still, it's an unscrew to focus on near vs. far)
Computar 8-48mm CCTV lens (this I had to remove the C-CS adapter to focus, move closer to sensor, still need to try out but looks clear)
Have to try these too still, they look kind of mid though the image, only tried indoors right now
Rainbow S4.8mm F1.8 (unscrew)
Rainbow H TV 6mm F1.2 (unscrew)
Rainbow 3.5mm CCTV (unscrew)
Sonew 5mm CCTV (looks good)
Arducam 35mm CCTV (sharp, but has purple tint sometimes)
Arducam 12mm (can't focus far away, it's a macro lens)
Arducam 8-50mm cool zoom but also has purple tint issue
16mm blue ring 10MP lens (seems to be the best quality image)
Bower 8mm Ultra Fast Fisheye (fail buy, it's an SLR lens can't focus it, Canon-C adapter)
Minolta 50mm full frame (need a MD-C adapter, has this purple tint, this lens is great though on my APS-C Sonly Nex-5n with an adapter)
