Administrators Andrew Reid Posted September 23, 2023 Administrators Share Posted September 23, 2023 Didn't think this would work at first. Turns out it does, and then some! The 9.5K sensor in this thing has enough left over for 4.8K in 2x crop mode The Ultra HD is oversampled from this 4.8K and we have our nice looking Cinema DNG internal to SD card. Something the Micro Four Thirds cameras can't do. So it is basically a Digital Bolex at this point. Frame grab: The form factor is also perfect for these lenses being so small. It feels balanced as a Super 16mm handheld candid camera. It has one over on the Sony a1 for c-mount as well... The 2x crop is sticky, between Cine and Stills, and is remembered every time you turn it on. Whereas the Sony clear image zoom keeps getting reset when you power down or switch modes. So yeah, I think my Digital Bolex D16 itch has finally been scratched!! It's also perfect for bunny pics sanveer, ntblowz, TrueIndigo and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaconda_ Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Looks great! Is this with no crop in post? I'd love to see some moving images with a setup like this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted September 25, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted September 25, 2023 Straight off the camera, no further crop. It has the resolution to do it justice. Will shoot some Cinema DNG with it tomorrow MrSMW and Anaconda_ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majoraxis Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Cool - I try to accomplish the same thing with GH6 in 1.4x crop mode. I would like to see them head to head to judge the dynamic range and color rendition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroszek Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 This looks really interesting - any update on how it went @Andrew Reid? And how the rolling shutter using the FP l in super 16 crop? Just saw a Bolex D16 on the local used marketplace for 3,500 usd and got really tempted. Though anything that can approach the same raw image quality is interesting.
