Effect of Red's FF35 to Industry?

[Stefan Christou]

It's nice to have an ASC at hand to educate us :thumbsup:

Thanks Dave...makes lots of sense.
Just realised I made a mistake, if you have a crop factor of 1.5 that means you should use a 75mm (not 80mm) on the FF35 which means you only need 1 stop....which we'll probably get out of the Epic FF35....

S35/50mm/f5.6 / 4 feet = 5 in (depth of field)
FF35/75mm/f8.2 / 4 feet = 5 in (depth of field)

When comparing the effect S35/FF35 lenses (1.6:1) have on scene magnification, the lenses don't care about the sensor....but the sensor provides a all important frame of reference, so I gotcha on why you're using frame sizes (1.5:1) with different lenses to work out depth of field.

So 1 stop of difference with the Monstros shouldn't be a great problem.
As stated here, the problem will be availability of FF35 lenses or lenses which can cover optical circle.
The SALT test results should be valuable in providing measurements.
I only know of the Zeiss rehoused ZF lenses that would provide a 43mm circle through the full range of lenses.

With FF35 lenses do DOP's tend to shoot closer to the scene/talent?

I guess when Red begin selling their FF35 camera, they'll begin advertising their FF35 lenses.
So far only their FF35 electronic zooms have been announced.
These seem designed as still lenses but I'm guessing they have more FF35 cine lens in the pipeline.
