Re: Eclair Cameras: Shooting 35mm lenses on 16mm camera-response

[Warren Yeager <wy@warrenyeager.com>]

You do get a significantly different image size between 35mm and 16mm gates
when using the same lens.   The difference between S16 and 35 is a little
less pronounced than it is between R16mm and 35mm, but theres almost a 2:1
difference.  A 28mm lens in 16mm is about equal to a 50mm lens in 35mm.

I'm bored by all the math, but look at your director's finder and see how
the scales line up.

On the long lens size all is pretty good, it's on the wide side that we have
the greatest effect.   It's difficult and expensive to get a good 18mm lens
in 35mm, and it's REALLY difficult and expensive to get a good 10mm lens in
35mm.  My zoom lens is a 9.5 - 57mm, the standard Angineux is 12 - 120.   12
mm in 16mm is a fairly normal lens....12mm in 35mm is wide enough to be
considered a speciality piece of equipment.
