wide angle adapter to get as close to 20mm focal length? (for 35mm)

I am looking to get as close to the 20mm look of a cine lens with the HVX200. We intent to matte it in post (2.35:1) and want to get the FOV of anamorphic.

What wide angle adapter would you recommend for this job?

The key features I are looking for:


  1. minimal barrel distortion.
  2. no vignetting
  3. infinite focus
  4. usable with matte box (nice to have)
We don't intend to use the full zoom but having at least the ability to get to 50mm equivalent should be enough.

We are looking to rent.

Cheers

edit: 25mm would be ok too, but the HVX naturally does 32mm so any more than 25 is not worth it
 
I have a 20mm Nikkon mounted on a Letus Elite. I like what I'm
getting. Define "no vignetting" ;-) .. if set up correctly, you'll get
very little vignetting other than the lens itself.

I've got a Zacuto assembly (with matte) and it works well that setup.

With the HVX, you have limited zoom (from about 78 to 100 ZF), otherwise
you will pick up the area outside the ground class imaging surface.

ps: I think the Letus is not too hard to find (rent wise).
 
I am talking about without a DOF adapter.

like something from century optics. I am leaning to the Century Optics .6x one. It doesn't have zoom through. It's FOV is around 87 when the 20mm is closer to 94

The Century Optics 0.75x is a good lens .. not quite as wide as the 0.6, but
it does a near full zoom.
