12. Super 35

35

When delivered, the camera is set to Super 35. The Super 35 format offers a range of technical advantages compared to filming with anamorphic lenses:

•a larger selection of available focal lengths,

•smaller and lighter-weight lenses,

•faster lenses,

•shorter lens focus for close-up shots,

•clearly reduced image distortion and geometric aberrations.

In addition, a greater variety of post-production possibilities is available.

For shooting in Normal 35, the lens mount receptacle and the upper plate of the bridge plate must be altered for the format. This ensures that the lenses and accessories are exactly aligned to the optical center of Normal 35.
