Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the Angle of View of the lens I’m using
be affected?
A: No, the Angle of View of the lens on the
Mini35 will be similar to the Angle of View as
seen in the Academy 35mm frame. Reason:
The image the Mini35Digital creates is not
projected directly onto the camera’s CCDs,
but is first resolved onto the focus screen.
The camera then captures this image, with
all of its filmic characteristics, including
Depth of Field.
Q: My image is vignetted (dark frame around
image). Why?
A: Make sure that your matte box and any
equipment in front of the lens does not cause
the vignetting.
Some old lens designs with small rear lenses
do not work properly with the Mini35, because
the diameter of the last lens is to small. This is
concerning the Cooke Series II & III and Zeiss
Distagons below 40mm. The 25-250mm zooms
by Angenieux as well as Cooke are both tight,
but work properly. We did not test all still
photography lenses, but due to the bigger
image size (Still - 24x36mm vs. Cine –
18x24mm) no vignetting is expected.
Q: Do I have to send my camera to P+S Technik
to do any mechanical or electronic changes
before I can use the Mini35Digital image
converter?
A: No. No modifications to the camera are
necessary.
