Step 1: Scroll to the top of this page
Step 2: Click "Search"
Step 3: Type "35mm Lens Adapter"
Step 4: Read
 
I don't use an adaptor myself but I would follow Riceman's suggestion. You'll learn more than you thought possible just by searching this site. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this forum who have provided their perspectives on so many topics.

As far as the wide/fish and tele I highly recommend Century Precision as a starting point. I have all three and am very pleased with their lenses.

as far as screw-on lenses century/schneider/16x9 are all good.

on the subject of lenses for 35mm adapters - thats a WHOLE OTHER BALLGAME. and the two above suggestions are probably smart. go to the various adapter websites: brevis, redrock, sgpro, cinemek... they all have sections on lenses.

but if you want to see what various lenses do, the better thing to do would be to go to photography sites. there are a lot of those that will provide you with more examples than you will find here.

i hate for us to be relatively unhelpful in saying go to search or go to google. but what youre asking is just WAY TOO BROAD to answer in a single thread.

i dont know of ANYONE who just "likes" answering "tons of questions" but yes, most people here do like to help. but your question was just way too broad. what youve basically asked is "what's the best car?" - and that answer depends on a lot of variables. like use, budget, experience, geography, etc... and unless you narrow things down a bit, a single reply could be pages and pages long.

and your description of 35mm use as "nonsence" (sic) sounded kinda snotty and people here dont tend to respond well to attitude.

the search feature here on the forum is a bit too scattergun sometimes. id strongly suggest you start your search either on google or on the websites of the manufacturers i mentioned above.

best of luck
