Lens Mount
A lens mount is an interface – mechanical and often also electrical – between a photographic camera body and a lens. It is a feature of camera systems where the System camera, body allows interchangeable lenses, most usually the rangefinder camera, single lens reflex type, single lens mirrorless type or any movie camera of 16 mm or higher film gauge, gauge. Lens mounts are also used to connect optical components in instrumentation that may not involve a camera, such as the modular components used in optical laboratory prototyping which join via C mount, C-mount or T-mount elements. Mount types A lens mount may be a screw-threaded type, a Bayonet#Linguistic impact, bayonet-type, or a breech-lock (friction lock) type. Modern still camera lens mounts are of the bayonet type, because the bayonet mechanism precisely aligns mechanical and electrical features between lens and body. Screw-threaded mounts are fragile and do not align the lens in a reliable rotational position, yet ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bajonett Manual Minolta
A bayonet (from Old French , now spelt ) is a knife, dagger, sword, or Spike bayonet, spike-shaped melee weapon designed to be mounted on the end of the gun barrel, barrel of a rifle, carbine, musket or similar long gun, long firearm, allowing the gun to be used as an improvised spear in close combat.Brayley, Martin, ''Bayonets: An Illustrated History'', Iola, WI: Krause Publications, (2004), pp. 9–10, 83–85. The term is derived from the town of Bayonne in southwestern France, where bayonets were supposedly first used by Basques in the 17th century. From the early 17th to the early 20th century, it was an infantry melee weapon used for both offensive (military), offensive and Defense (military), defensive military tactics, tactics, usually when charge (warfare), charging in tactical formation, mass formations (human wave attacks). In contemporary times, bayonets are considered a weapon of last resort, and are rarely used in combat, although they are still used for ceremonial ...

Kinor
Kinor is the name of a line of movie cameras produced in the USSR. All cameras under the Kinor name were intended for professional use and were equipped with a through-the-lens viewfinder with a mirror shutter, but were otherwise unrelated in their technical design as they were created by a variety of different organizations. Kinor 16SP The Kinor 16SP was the first camera in the series. It is essentially a copy of the Arriflex 16ST, with a three-lens turret and a fixed straight viewfinder tube. Unlike the 16ST, however, the 16SP uses interchangeable magazines by default (where the Arri camera requires modification).

16 Mm Film
16 mm film is a historically popular and economical Film gauge, gauge of Photographic film, film. 16 mm refers to the width of the film (about inch); other common film gauges include 8 mm film, 8 mm and 35mm movie film, 35 mm. It is generally used for non-theatrical (e.g., industrial, educational, television) film-making, or for low-budget motion pictures. It also existed as a popular amateur or home movie-making format for several decades, alongside 8 mm film and later Super 8 film. Kodak, Eastman Kodak released the first 16 mm "outfit" in 1923, consisting of a Ciné-Kodak camera, Kodascope projector, tripod, screen and splicer, for US$335 (). RCA Records, RCA-Victor introduced a 16 mm sound movie projector in 1932, and developed an optical sound-on-film 16 mm camera, released in 1935.

Image Sensor Format
In digital photography, the image sensor format is the shape and size of the image sensor. The image sensor format of a digital camera determines the angle of view of a particular lens when used with a particular sensor. Because the image sensors in many digital cameras are smaller than the 24 mm × 36 mm image area of full-frame 35 mm format, 35 mm cameras, a lens of a given focal length gives a narrower field of view in such cameras. Sensor size is often expressed as optical format in inches. Other measures are also used; see table of sensor formats and sizes below. Lenses produced for 35 mm film cameras may mount well on the digital bodies, but the larger image circle of the 35 mm system lens allows unwanted light into the camera body, and the smaller size of the image sensor compared to 35 mm film format results in cropping of the image. This latter effect is known as field-of-view crop. The format size ratio (relative to the 35 mm film ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Flange Focal Distance
For an interchangeable lens camera, the flange focal distance (FFD) (also known as the flange-to-film distance, flange focal depth, flange back distance (FBD), flange focal length (FFL), back focus or register, depending on the usage and source) of a lens mount system is the distance from the mounting flange (the interlocking metal rings on the camera and the rear of the lens) to the film or image sensor plane. This value is different for different camera systems. The range of this distance, which will render an image clearly in focus within all focal lengths, is usually measured to a precision of hundredths of millimetres, and is not to be confused with depth of field. Lenses can be adapted from one mount (and respective FFD) to another. FFD determines whether infinity focus can be accomplished with a simple non-optical adapter. Optics to correct for distance introduce more cost and can lower image quality, so non-optical lens adapters are preferred. A simple non-optical adap ...

Cine Lens
A cine lens, short for cinema lens, is a specialized optical device designed specifically for motion picture production. Unlike standard photographic lenses, cine lenses are built to meet the rigorous demands of filmmaking, offering precise control over focus, aperture, and other key elements essential to cinematic storytelling. Known for their superior build quality, smooth operation, and ability to maintain sharpness and clarity across various focal lengths, cine lenses are engineered for high-end professional use in film and television production. They offer consistent apertures, minimal focus breathing, and precise manual controls, making them essential for cinematographers striving for artistic and technical excellence in visual storytelling. Difference between Still and Cine lenses While still photo lenses and cine lenses are fundamentally similar in that an array of optics is housed in a variety of cylinders that actuate precisely to manipulate zoom, focus, and iris, there ...
