[Konvas] 14mm are very rare

[H. W. Stone]

 There were several brands of 12mm lenses made for the Arri II series, and they can be mounted in adapters to use on the oct19 mount cameras, and if you check the "old mount" 16mm lenses they tend to vary a lot-- true focal length ranging from 14.2mm to 17.5mm.? Find a wide one, drop it into an adapter, and you've got wide.? I realized how different they were when I was trying to match angle of view with two 1m cameras, and one was just a HECK of a lot wider than the other one.

Not cheap or easy to find, but 10mm lenses in Arri Standard, Arri B, PL, and a number of other mounts exist-- including the oct19 LOMO, which is wonderful.

Like Olivier, I am jealous of your 14mm, Morgan, and wish I had bought it (though funds are low these days given the difficult times we are in)! Speaking of very wide lenses, does anyone know of a relatively inexpensive solution?for getting something on a Kinor that is wider than the std 18mm? Olivier mentioned a Sigma zoom, anyone got a solution or a good idea?
