Today I tried my OCT-19 mount adapter with the Canon EOS 5D.  Didn't work very well. I was expecting that the wide lenses would vignette too much but as with Panavision Primos you can use lenses all the way down to a 35mm I was hoping the same would be the case with the OCT-19 lenses. Not really. Only 75mm and up works and the 50mm after the crop to 16:9 would be serviceable but still a little in the corners. 35mm and lower hit the mirror and look like a pin hole. Bugger as I was hoping it would work at least with the 35mm so it would at least get a little wider. A 5D for normal and telephoto lenses only would be a waste of the full frame sensor.
Well, shouldn't complain too much. At least all my lenses work normally with the 7D and not even the 18mm wide open vignettes.
