C mount Cin Lens with T3i

dbobbgf — Wed, 01 Apr 2015 23:59:18 GMT

Im looking for a inexpensive TV/Cin lens to use with my Canon T3i for shooting video. I have found a Tokina TV Lens 12.5 - 75mm f/1.2 C - mount and was wondering if I can use it on my T3i. I have used other lens on my camera with adapters and or extenders. Will this work with this or similar lens'? I am willing to trade-off some vignetting for the low F-stop and zooming capabilities. Any suggestions?

To get full coverage of the sensor, you generally need to use a 25mm c-mount lens or higher otherwise you get a “peep hole” effect as well as vignetting because the image circle of the lens is smaller than 25mm and will not fill the whole sensor.

I have no idea if anybody makes and adapter but somebody probably does. They seem to make them for any combo you can think of no matter how bad it will be.
