  • Lens Mount and Flange Focal Distance
    This is a page of data on the lens flange distance and image coverage of various stills and movie lens systems. It aims to provide information on the viability of adapting lenses from one system to another. Video/Movie format-lens coverage: [caveat: While you might suppose lenses made for a particular camera or gate/sensor size might be optimised for that system (ie so the circle of cover fits the gate, maximising the effective aperture and sharpness, and minimising light spill and lack of contrast... however it seems to be seldom the case, as lots of other factors contribute to lens design (to the point when sometimes a lens for one system is simply sold as suitable for another (eg large format lenses with M42 mounts for SLR's! and SLR lenses for half frame). Specialist lenses (most movie and specifically professional movie lenses) however do seem to adhere to good design practice, but what is optimal at any point in time has varied with film stocks and aspect ratios! ] 1932: 8mm picture area is 4.8×3.5mm (approx 4.5x3.3mm useable), aspect ratio close to 1.33 and image circle of ø5.94mm. 1965: super8 picture area is 5.79×4.01mm, aspect ratio close to 1.44 and image circle of ø7.043mm. 2011: Ultra Pan8 picture area is 10.52×3.75mm, aspect ratio 2.8 and image circle of ø11.2mm (minimum). 1923: standard 16mm picture area is 10.26×7.49mm, aspect ratio close to 1.37 and image circle of ø12.7mm.

  • Large Format Lenses from the Eastern Bloc 1945-1991
    Large Format Lenses from the Eastern Bloc Countries 1945-1991 © 2011-2019 Arne Cröll- All Rights Reserved (this version is from June 17, 2019, the first version was published on this web site in spring 2011) During the cold war, the main manufacturer of large format lenses in the Eastern Bloc countries was Carl Zeiss Jena in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). The Zeiss Jena lenses as well as their short-lived successors from Docter Optic have been described separately in three other articles [1-3]. However, Zeiss Jena was not the sole supplier. Other LF lens manufacturers were Hugo Meyer in Görlitz in the GDR, Meopta in what was then Czechoslovakia, PZO in Poland, and several plants in the USSR. Examples of these Eastern Bloc lenses show up on the market occasionally. In terms of usa- bility one has to keep in mind that – with some exceptions - these lenses come in barrel, and mount- ing into a shutter may rarely be justified. But optically they can offer some unusual choices, so if front mounting to a shutter is possible, they can be an alternative to Western-made lenses. This is of course even more true for the few lenses that do come in a shutter. Hugo Meyer Görlitz – Meyer Optik, GDR The company Hugo Meyer & Co. in the city of Görlitz (now at the German-Polish border) was a well-known German manufacturer of LF and other optics. Founded on January 5, 1896, by the Gör- litz native and master optician Hugo Meyer [4], they started out making Aplanat-type lenses and later added anastigmatic lenses to their line.

  • Introduction Carl Zeiss Biometar 80Mm F/2.8 Is a Pentacon Six Lens (Or Kiev 60)
    Introduction Carl Zeiss Biometar 80mm f/2.8 is a Pentacon six lens (or Kiev 60). That is a medium format mount build for sensors, app. 50 x 39 mm (or more) compared to Full Frame which is 36 x 24 mm. The medium format sensor covers 1,977 mm 2 while the FF sensor covers 864mm 2. The lens is, in other words build to cope with much larger images going to the sensor than FF need – and even much much larger images than my Olympus camera with the small four thirds sensor need (225 mm 2). This mean that you need an adaptor ring to get the lens on the camera. You can get adaptor rings at eBay and mostly for a small amount of money. You can even get adaptor rings that allow your camera to make the Focus “beeeep” when you hit focus. But the lens is, however, still fully manuel. This is good help. Because when you stop down the aperture, your viewfinder does get more and more dark. Due to the size of the sensor; this 80 mm lens was build to be a “normal lens”; which is about 50 mm on a Full Frame camera. The size of the sensor gives a negative crop factor. But the lens isn’t as big as you might think. Biometar 80 mm f/2.8 weighs about 400 gr., it uses 58 mm filters and it does come out with between 35 mm and 45 mm from the adaptor ring. Wide open is f/2.8.

  • ARAX-88 Camera Manual
    A R A X – 88 MEDIUM FORMAT CAMERA INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE 1. GENERAL NOTES The ARAX is a medium-format single lens reflex (SLR) camera with either an all-metal (gold or black) or light-tight rubberized fabric curtain shutter and interchangeable film magazines (sizes: 6x6 or 6x4.5 cm). The camera is designed to meet the needs of any photographer, from the advanced amateur to the working professional. The ARAX cameras are hand selected KIEV-88s that undergo an extensive mechanical upgrade process. These camera bodies and magazines are re-assembled, adjusted, tested, and matched to provide superior accuracy and to assure a light tight fit between the magazine backs and camera bodies. Any deficiencies in the basic Kiev design are addressed via reinforcement and/or replacement. The camera is designed to use 61.5-mm wide non-perforated roll film (type 120/220). The camera’s curtain shutter offers exposure times over a range from 1/1000 to 1/2 sec. and manual exposure "B". The shutter cocking mechanism and the film transport mechanism are interlocked, thus preventing unintentional double exposures. The camera comes complete with the MC ARSAT 2.8/80 “standard” lens. The lens is provided with a special multi- layer antireflection coating (MC = Multi - Coating), which upgrades the image quality and enhances its contrast due to better-integrated transparency and reduced light dispersion. The focal length of the lens is 80 mm, the relative aperture is 1:2.8, the diaphragm setting limits are f2.8 - f22, and the near focusing limit is 0.6 m.
