stepping up to cine lenses without blowing the bank account

Frank/Postmasters link goes to the mtf website so I am guessing he is just pointing to the adapter (am I wrong Frank?).
Adapter is €350 (link) but for that price I am surprised that there is no mention of back focus adjustment with the adapter.

edit:
on the product description page for that adapter it says

which doesn't make any sense to me. I'm pretty sure they are not referring to full frame still lenses as this is E to PL mount. Anyone know why they are saying this?

Isn't that about the crop factor of Super 35mm to APS-C, perhaps they are saying that because most e-mount cameras are APS-C.

You are right, I guess I still have to wait till Monday till mine arrives :-(

You can bet, the first thing I do when it comes in is, I post a photo with the camera and me, with the biggest grin evar!

Sorry for not posting the link with the photo, I got distracted while typing.

you don't need a camera to know a definitive answer. If there is no glass there is no crop- simple as that. Clearly an error that will be corrected as soon as they reread it...

that's what I thought Jacek and why I wasn't worried about it.
 
The Zeiss zooms for the Alpha mount are less than 2K apiece (plus the adaptor). Autofocus is slow, but other than that, you can treat them like manual lenses if needed. I saw them at E.C. Pro in NYC. Very small compared
to regular Cinema type lenses. I believe it was Mark Forman who had them.
 
No problem!

One thing to think about when considering some of the older cine zooms is their minimum close focus ability.
Cooke 20-100mm 28"
Cooke 18-100mm 28"
Cooke 25-250mm 5'5"
Angenieux 20-100mm 40"
Angenieux 25-250mm 6'

Have always like the look of Cooke lenses when shooting people.
Right now I'm leaning toward a Cooke 18-100 with the Duclos 11-16 on the wide end.

Greeeeat combo...... just; preend the 18-100 doesn't have a T3. Just go directly to T4/5.6 split. Its amazing there....
 
Well it looks like I'm the new owner of an old Cooke 20-100.
Not the 18-100 I was looking for but this will let me stretch my budge a little farther for F3 glass.
 
Just saw this - just in case someone else want´s to go that route:
