Yes, with an optical adapter like the MTF, Abekas or AbelCine it works very well.

Oh ok.. thats good news.. what sort of field of view would you get on 5mm wide end on the S35 sensor.. I thought it wouldnt work as the back element isnt big enough to "cover " the size of the sensor.. ?

Thanks

Alister regardless of crop or whatnot is there any way to adapt B4 2/3 directly to Sony F3 mount? (without magnifying optics in the adapter itself)
