Epic-W FOV on 2k.... shooting High speed... situation.

Hmm...

4.81x

It's like If I put super wide 10mm will be most likely 48mm

A bit frustrating on shooting on super slow mo.

I am already looking for widest lens that I can put... in case I need super slow mo.

I use super 16 lenses when shooting 2k so I can get as wide as I need.
Works very well.

Yes but Minu's point is....at 2K on Helium it's going to be TWICE as cropped now.

S16 is 4K on Helium, as opposed to 2K on Dragon.

we need a custom .52x Speed Booster Optic for High Speed or even .71x

After researching on ebay.

Only option is C mount lenses that are go down to 1.8mm - 6.7 mm (6.7mm in 2k windowed mode in Helium sensor is about similar to 22mm on Super 35mm sensor)

Yes, it seems we might have an option. But I am very negative on this answer.

1. Does C mount lens's sharpness good enough to shoot on 2K?
2. Does C mount lens could create similar tone and color rendition as any cinema lenses that are out there to match?
3. According to one seller on ebay, who sells C mount to PL adaptors, he has stated that "There is some risk that the C mount lens could hit your sensor"

In summary:

If you want super slow mo (more than 200fps), you might want to stay in Dragon sensor. As of it's in this current situation, I don't think I can find C mount wide angle lens that can be similar quality as Super 35mm lenses, and it's look. As Jason and Nick discussed, dragon sensor's case, one single wide zoom lens that could figure out most of the problems shooting on 2k situation.

Ideally, it would be really great, some how the Red Team could revolutionized a new "Pixel binning" system into our cameras. But that's just a hope.

there are a ton of different c-mount lenses... Calkovsky Camera has a ton of 16mm and c-mount lenses.

also a bunch of PL Mount super16 lenses, like this, this, this

Zeiss did make the Digi-Primes and Digi-Zooms and they are supposed to be some of the sharpest lens made, but are b4 mount and the image circle are super small. But, at that point you could be using Fujinon lenses, which are comparable...

in principal these lenses are sharper than the full frame lenses.
