Spike Black... First Prototype photos.

[Cesar Rubio]

There are some c-mount 1/1.8"' Pentax lenses. But they are very rare.

I don't know if some one makes bigger format c-lenses. For MVC with 1 1/2 sensors, mount adapters for use with 35mm lenses like Canon, Nikon, Minolta etc. (even Pentax) are commonly used.

Thanks,
Cesar Rubio.

Chuck:

C-mount lenses only covers 1" sensors size maximum. The Spike & Red Cameras, having a bigger sensor cannot work with c-mount lenses without "vignetting" the sensor image.

1" is 25.4mm what is the sensor size of Misterium, very close?
1" should get you in to the film window, correct?

Andrew:

The size of 1" sensor in a 1080p camera (16:9 or 1.77:1 aspect ratio) is 14.3 x 8.0 mm.

That is close to the super 16 size (1.66:1 aspect ratio) 12.52 x 7.41 mm



35mm film projected size at 1.66:1 is 21 x 13 mm.

The size of the Mysterium sensor is super 35, which is 24.4mm x 13.7mm (1.78:1 aspect ratio).

The Mysterium CMOS sensor is almost 3 times bigger than a 1" sensor. (don't take literal the 1" 'one inch' size)


Thanks,
