Is there anybody who can explain the working of this kind of lens?
I just bought an EUMIG aspherical wide angle lens that fits my Bauer 207Xl and Canon 814 XLS (with adapterring), but when looking through the viewfinder I noticed that the picture is completely out of focus. There is no way to get it properly focussed.
What is wrong here ? Did I buy the wrong type of lens or what can I do to get the picture sharp ?

I have been looking for two things for years.
A) a scope lens big enough to fit my largest lens camera to get the full lens field. (missed out on a genuine TCF Scope lens on ebay)
B) a wide angle converter suitable for application to my existing anamorphic to regain lost field due to zooming throught to out the lens fringing in the frame.
I have found that wide-angle lenses with a 37mm thread for video cameras are suitable in application to the Hypergonar 8 Cinemascope lens which has a fixed focus and fits the Fujica P2 or B&H Autoload serries or Boots equivalent (they are the same cameras). This gives a beutifully wide scope field with the P2 giving the widest image.
The problem is that these cameras are 18fps machines whilst I film everything at 24fps although they will be used for clean-plate shots. I would like to be able to shoot 24fps material in equally wide angles on anamorphic formats. Anyone know of a suitable combination to suit a Kowa 2x for Bell & Howel, Proskar 16 2x, Cinepro 16C and Sankor 16F working with Kinotek/ Quarz, Elmo 106 & 204T, B&H Filmosonic XL 1237, Nizo Integral 5, Eumig Sound 125XL and Krasnogorsk-3 16mm cameras
