Thanks Guys, I shot the film yesterday and I have to say that there were some tricky elements that I didn't expect. I got a lot of differing opinions on the magnification factor and can only estimate from looking through the lens that for S16 equivalent from 35mm stills you need to multiply between 2 and 2.5, which did surprise me. Sorry I couldn't be more accurate, I don't know yet. Another surprise was how bright and sharp the nikkor prime lenses appeared to be. The only downside was that they are not designed for smooth movement and focus pulls. Some were better than others. Anyway thank you all for your help and I will post an update once I know more. Hopefully the film will be alright as well. Cheers Pat

Thanks guys, That's should help me out nicely. I am sure I can figure out what I need from there. I will let you know how I go. Thanks again Pat

Hi, I am new here and an aussie camera operator. I am about to shoot a short on an Aaton A-Minima and I am just trying to find out what the 35mm stills equivalent is of a nikon/nikkor lens is on super 16mm. If anyone knows the conversion rate or could point me in the direction of a chart, that would be great. Thanks a lot. Pat
