Century Optics .6 Wide Angle Lens Test

I've used both Century adaptors with the DVX and was very pleased.
My favorite was the zoom through, very useful!
The 35mm seems like a really good option but you have to consider how you're going to use it with the camera.
I do documentaries, run and gun, 90% handheld and the additional weight and size doesn't work for me.
If you're dealing with corporate, narrative or studio shooting maybe the 35 adapt. is the way to go, since you'll be in a very controlled situation, tripod, etc...

Exclusive evaluations of image quality might put you in a tough spot in the 'real world'.
If possible try to rent or test any gear before committing to a purchase, and always consider your workflow on the set (total gear size, crew, time available, budget, etc...)

Good luck with your 'dreams'.

I agree Ryan both seem to have very different characteristics. I guess I'm just curious, we've done all types of tests on this site as to how different 35mm adaptor and camera looks in comparison to another but I have not seen any side by side comparison, even for curiosity sake as to how say a century looks compared to a 35mm adaptor. Even a screen shot at the same aperature, distance etc. I guess I'm just curious as to how they would look and resolve !!
