Hi Shel,
IIRC the cine format for 35mm film is roughly similar to APS digital
format. Some are of retrofocal design, so adoption could be perhaps
possible (I don't know what is they register of Arri bay mount). There
are some outstanding lenses like UltraPrimes from Zeiss, e.g. 16mm
Distagon-T with T stop of 1.9 (f/stop of 1.7), and 10mm Distagon-T
with 1.21 T stop! Or some speed kings like 18mm T/1.3 (f/1.2) lens!
Optically the very best of course...
You would have few problems though:
1) weight - from 1 to 3 kg for primes, few times that for zooms...
2) price...
3) price...
4) price...
Figure about 6.000-15.000 Euro for one prime!!!
Good light!
