Hi,

 

There is a whitness mark where the focus point is, you will need to set the back focus ideally with a sharpmax collimator.

 

Please use your full real name, it's a requirement of this forum.

One of the dilemma's is all HD lenses are not calibrated to the same film plane even though they were all manufactured to work on the 2/3? triple CCD array.

 

The second dilemma is that the Cameras are marked with different film planes from manufacturer to manufacturer and model to model. Here is the big thing to ask when renting an F23 during your prep. On the focal plane plate sony has both markings of 48mm colored orange and 65mm colored white. Ask your prep tech at the rental house to set it based on your Dp's lens package. At Panavision Hollywood we set the camera during service to match the lens going out. There have been crews going out when both are needed and we have show the AC's how to check and set the flim plane plate for there shoot during there prep.

 

 

 

Here?s what we have discovered so far here at Panavision Hollywood???.(we are still testing lens with the F23)

 

 

 

Lenses set to 65MM Focal plane

 

Panavision Digital in B-4 (PV mount is 70MM)

 

Zeiss

 

Fujinon E series

 

 

 

Lenses set to 48MM Focal plane

 

Canon ?new Cine-style?

 

 

 

Cameras

 

Sony 950, 900R, 900S, Betacam, DVcam = 48MM focal plane engraving

 

Varicam = 48MM focal plane engraving

 

Viper = 48MM Focal plane engraving

 

Panasonic P2HD, HDX900, SDX900 = 48MM Film plane engraving

 

Panavised F900 = 65MM Focal plane engraving

 

F23 = 48MM and 65MM Focal plane engravings (reversible plate, white mark= 48MM, orange mark= 65MM)

 

Here is the big thing to ask when renting an F23 during your prep. On the focal plane plate sony has both markings!

 

 

If you have questions on any camera ask during your prep when checking your marks on all of your lens. Ask! Thats why Pro Camera crews going out of our office here are preping all day checking camera and lens and they still ask questions. Thats why there working and why I call them PRO's!

 

Hope this has helped. All the best!

65mm white & 48mm orage ? or 65mm orange & 48mm white ?

 

 

Anyway..

white mark is accurate measuring of distances then orange mark. In my experience...

Teo,

 

I have re-read what I wrote and see I have posted two different anaswers on the focal plane engravings. The correct answer is on the F23 = 48MM and 65MM Focal plane engravings (reversible plate, white mark= 48MM, orange mark= 65MM). Sorry for any missunderstand and for pointing this out! Most B4 mount lens are using the orange 64mm focal plane.

 

Again Thanks,

 

Mark
