Effective Lens and Crop Sizes - 8K

[Aaron Bernakevitch]

2 Quick Questions

1. If i shoot on the epic-w in 8k on my normal PL lenses, say a 25mm (I own the red pro primes). Will the have the same field of view as a 25mm on my epic-mx?

If so does that mean that everything i shoot high speed in 4k is cropped by a factor 2x?

2. Is the 8k sensor in the weapon the same physical size as the 5k sensor in the Epic - MX, only stuff with more pixels?

Thanks

Trying to wrap my head around everything

HAPPY SHOOTING

Thanks Brendan.

That is a really helpful tool, do we know what the base iso of the helium sensor is?

Thanks

Helium seems to be even more flexible than Dragon when it comes to a comfortable ISO range. These sensors don't really have a "base ISO," or at least I prefer not to look at it that way. That said, Helium seems to be very comfortable at ISO 1000 ~ 1280. Also seems to perform equally well to Dragon, perhaps even better, at lower ISO ratings.

...Or at least that's what I'm seeing from Helium thus far as I only have a few GB of clips to play with until I get an 8K upgrade here. Still trying to decide if I'm going Helium ASAP or will continue to wait for Dragon VV, but I think Helium is looking more attractive every day.
