Overview
New Large Format Cameras and Lenses for Digital Cinematography
Moderated by David Leitner
The latest development in professional cinematography is the arrival of large-format (LF) CMOS sensors comparable in size to Full Frame sensors in DSLRs. The wider image circle required by these larger sensors has prompted major camera and lens companies to introduce entirely new LF cine lenses, and in one case a new lens mount.
What are the advantages of these VistaVision-size sensors? Are they more light-sensitive? Do they require lenses of the same resolving power? What is the impact on image in terms of perceived detail, angle-of-view, and depth-of-field? And when depth-of-field proves razor-thin, which LF cameras provide for automatic focus?
Which existing lens mounts are sufficient? Which LF cameras can “window” down their large CMOS sensors to capture Super35 or Super16, or crop them into boxier shapes for anamorphic capture?
Featured speakers will answer these questions and more during presentations on their latest LF cameras and lenses.
