Details
It is important to consider the following information when using a 2/3" lens with a LO-32BMT adapter mounted to a 1/2" camera:
- The images produced will appear visually more telephoto by a factor of 1.38x.
- The actual F-Number of a lens does not change when mounted on a different format size camera. (If the lens is F1.9 in the 2/3 "format, the lens is also F1.9 in the 1/2" format.)
- The Focal Length and F-Stop markings on the 2/3” lens are correct in either format.
- It is highly recommended that HDTV lenses always be employed on HDTV cameras.
Ideal for use with:
- PDW-F330L / PDW-F335L
- PDW-F350L / PDW-F355L
Focal Length:
When using a 2/3” lens with a LO-32BMT adapter mounted to a 1/2” camera, the actual focal length of the lens does not change. However, the angle of view associated with that focal length changes. In this case, the lens will visually be more telephoto, by a factor of 1.38x. As an example, the 2/3” KJ20x8.5B HDTV lens (58.90 angle of view at 8.5mm when mounted on a 2/3” camera) will visually appear to have a 44.60 angle of view, that equates to an equivalent focal length of 11.7mm (8.5mm x 1.38 = 11.7mm)
