Effective focal length of Sony A lens on EX3
I've found various references but no clear explanation so forgive me if this is a topic previous visited.
Are 2/3 lens mounted on the EX3 fully functional? |
Most 2/3" broadcast lenses will be functional with the right adapter, however, due to the smaller 1/2" sensor your field of view will be about 35% narrower. In other words, an 8mm lens on the EX3 would feel like an 11mm lens would feel on a 2/3" camera. Most people (including me) wouldn't like using that as their normal lens. So, you really need to have a very wide 2/3" lens, unless you only care about the telephoto end of the spectrum.
Here's the adapter you'll need. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/576005-REG/Fujinon_ACM_21_ACM_21_2_3_Lens_Adapter.html If you haven't bought a 2/3" lens yet, you'd be a lot better off buying a 1/2" lens for the EX3. I used my Fujinon HSs18x5.5 lens on my EX3 100% of the time and loved it. Changed the "feel" of the whole camera. |
The MTF EX3 to 2/3 B4 adapter is a lot cheaper than the Fujinon adapter. Powered B4 to EX3 Adaptor : Lens Adaptor.Com

DOF on EX3
Using this adaptor with the 2/3" lens, finally the DOF on a EX3 will be like a 2/3" sensor or 1/2" camera sensor?

Re: Effective focal length of Sony A lens on EX3
DoF is governed by the sensor size, so DoF will be 1/2".
