Cinemas lenses on the 7d?

That just put a huge smile on my face. Problem is, I'm scared that it requires removing the mirror and I want this thing for stills too.
 
Someone. quick. Set me up the Angenieux 24-290.

All your 24pee Are Belong to Us.

BTW- Where did the PL adapter come from? I cannot find anything that exists to convert to eos. I have evil OCT19 plans.
 
It's a Panavision mount, not PL. AKA you probably will not be owning one of those. LoL

Hence the Panavision lens on the front of the camera. You could attach a PL mount, but you would have to chop into the camera.

Panavision registration and mount is different.

oh oh right, duh. Wouldn't there be a way for some manufacturer to create a relay system that would allow it to take a PL mount without chopping into the camera? Like a thicker adapter.
 
I have no idea but I don't think it would be worth the trouble. You would probably completely decimate the advantages of cinema lenses outside of mechanical operations. Maybe someone will do it though and we an figure out if it's viable.
 
the issue with cine lenses is that the design of the PL mount extends the lens much farther into the camera body than still lenses do. Seeing as movie cameras have no mirror in them, the lenses can do this. (I read an article about the Stanley Kubrick 50 f/.75 that he had custom built was mere millimeters away from the film plane and, thus, had a special mount to make sure it didn't hit the film) because of this, the lens cannot be put onto a Canon body because, in order to get the flange distance correct for the lens, the mount will have to extend into the area currently occupied by the mirror. It is sort of similar to the issue with making FD mount lenses work (slightly different, but same broad concept)

I am not sure if this same idea applies to Panavision lenses, but I imagine it does.
