Will Arri follow focus work with Kinor lenses?

[Adam Paul]

Is Arri pitch the same as Kinor (Lomo) lenses?

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

No, Arri uses 32 pitch gearing and Kinor uses 50 pitch gearing or "Canon" gearing.

 

I hope that helps.

By Canon, do you mean the Broadcast video zoom gears (the gears on the Broadcast lenses)? If so, the same as Fujinon?

I thought Kinor was 32 pitch, 0.5 module by the way?

Hi again,

 

Yes, I mean the Canon broadcast lenses. Arri/cinema pitch is 32 pitch-, Kinor is 50. It has a much finer pitch than Arri.

So Kinor used video gear on their lenses? Interesting. I wonder why, rather than sticking with the industry standard.
