Ken Minehan Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Hello guys, i have a quick question with regards lenses. I was shooting a TV commercial recently using Carl Zeiss Digi Primes. They are obviously very different from eg Zeiss Ultra Primes when it comes to depth and lens size. Is there a website with a conversion chart that can tell me the 35mm lens equivalent from the Video lens? I hope some one can help, Cheers Ken Minehan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen OK, great thank you very much. I did a shoot for TVC and wrote all the camera details down for the animator. Then I realised that his program requires the 35mm lens measurements. I shot with the Digi primes. Thanks very much for your help. regards Ken Minehan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
