Since neither the focal length nor the effective aperture has changed, the F-number remains the same,
F1.8. Thus, there is no optical sensitivity “loss” involved when using a 2/3” native lens with the LO-32BMT
on a 1/2”camera. As a comparison, if instead of using the 2/3”KJ20x8.5B lens and LO-32BMTadapter,
you were to substitute a 1/2” KH20x6.4HDTV lens, the adapter would no long be necessary. By applying
the same formula, F-Number = f/D, to the 1/2” KH20x6.4lens, the lens will have a faster F-Number, F1.4,
compared to the 2/3” lens and LO-32BMTcombination.
Focal Length
When using a 2/3” lens with a LO-32BMTadapter mounted to a 1/2” camera, the actual focal length
of the lens does not change. However, the angle of view associated with that focal length changes.
In this case, the lens will visually be more telephoto, by a factor of 1.38x. As an example, the 2/3”
KJ20x8.5B HDTV lens (58.90angle of view at 8.5mm when mounted on a 2/3” camera) will visually
appear to have a 44.60angle of view, that equates to an equivalent focal length of 11.7mm
(8.5mm x 1.38= 11.7mm)
The actual F-Number of a lens does not change when mounted on a different format size camera.
Using the 2/3” KJ20x8.5B HDTV lens as an example, its maximum aperture is F1.8. When that lens is
mounted on the 1/2” camera with the LO-32BMTadapter, the focal length and effective aperture of
the lens do not change.
The Canon LO-32BMTadapter allows you to mount a 2/3” B4bayonet lens onto
any Sony 1/2” proprietary mount camera such as the new XDCAM HD series,
PDW-F330/F350while not affecting the optical quality of the lens. It is important to consider
the following information when using a 2/3” lens with a LO-32BMTadapter mounted to a 1/2” camera.

The formula for deriving the F-Number of any lens is as follows:
F-Number = f / D f = Focal Length D = Effective Aperture

1. The images produced will appear visually more telephoto by a factor of 1.38x.
2. The actual F-Number of a lens does not change when mounted on a different format size camera.
If the lens is F1.9in the 2/3” format, the lens is also F1.9 in the 1/2” format.
3. The Focal Length and F-Stop markings on the 2/3” lens are correct in either format.
4. It is highly recommended that HDTV lenses always be employed on HDTV cameras.
