Q: 5. will this work on a sony a7s ?

A: I bought mine for a micro 4/3 camera - the Lumix GH3, This particular mount is not compatible with the Sony system.

Q: 6. Should my focus ring be more accurate? When my focus ring is set to 7' focus is actually at 5'. When I set to 4' focus is 2' 8 . I do tend to measure my manual focus lenses and this is my first I feel I can't trust. I do feel infinity focus seems a bit soft, is it possible I'm not able to get infinity focus if the actual focus distance is shorter then marked? Wondering if I should return... anyone else test the focus ring accuracy?

A: In my decades of being a motion picture camera assistant, this was a situation the we had to look our for. The problem is either the lens is out of collimation or the lens mount flange depth is off. If both are correct, Infinity is Infinity and 5' is 5'. I would suggest that it is the lens and that you should exchange it if you bought it from B&H less than 30 days ago.Contact B&H Customer service to do so. B&H Customer Service Contact: https://bhpho.to/2caRE5L. If the lens comes back and you still have an issue or you purchased longer than 30 days ago, take or send the lens and the camera to a camera service center.

Q: 7. Since the crop factor has changed for 4k recording on GH5 cameras, now covering all of the frame how does this lens perform ?

A: From the beginning the SLR Magic 35mm T2.4 2x Anamorphot-CINE Lens (MFT Mount) has covered the the full MFT sensor so no problem there. Now with the GH5, instead of a 2.3 crop you will get the normal MFT 2x crop (from a Full Frame sensor). The image will have a slightly wider Field of View (FOV).

Q: 8. I have been trolling for differences between Version 1 and Version 2 (shown here) of this lens. Anyone? Cheers.

A: I can say that usually the difference between version 1, 2, 3 etc, etc with any manufacturer is some sort of improvement and 99 times out of a 100, it is the way you will want to go. My take away from the SLR website is that the mark II version has improved focusing and a more robust front section.

Q: 9. wanna get this on a red scarlet-w ef mount I'm about to order, any PL to EF mount solutions?

A: Unfortunately, there are no PL/EF or EF/PL adapters. However, as a RED Scarlet-W owner, your are in luck. You can get the DSMC TI PL MOUNT from RED. This will change the mount from EF to PL on your camera. While it is possible to do this procedure in the field, I doubt you will want to do this on a regular basis. You most likely will wind up staying with one mount for the duration of any particular job.

Q: 10. Can this lens be adapted to work on MFT bodies like the Panasonic GH5?

A: This lens cannot be adapter to work on an MFT camera. However SLR Magic makes a 25mm lens you could use instead. https://bhpho.to/3nOxHmZ
