Do you know anything about these old Kiev 16mm cameras from Russia? They have 3 lenses on a wheel (which can be unscrewed) I was wondering could the lenses be adapted for digital cameras like the SI2K? I see a number of them for sale on ebay these days (sometimes just the lenses, other times the whole camera): |
Re: Aaton 4k
This is an interesting camera, digital and film! I thought I heard rumors about 10 years ago that ARRI or Panavision wanted to introduce a film camera that could shoot in HD and the film magazine would be swapped out with a hard drive that looked like a film magazine. I can't remember where I read it, but it seemed like science fiction to me at the time!

Here's an Abel Cine video blog:
Aaton Penelope Delta Offers Beyond 4K | CineTechnica The 100 ISO will be neat with an optical viewfinder, you don't want heavy duty ND filter pack using that. The Arri Alexa with the proposed optical V/F could have problems if it's only 800 ISO. |
Re: Aaton 4k
It seems that the Aaton Delta Penelope has now evolved into just a digital camera, rather than a hybrid Film/digital camera.

Re: Aaton 4k
That makes sense -- cheaper and easier; the reality today is most indie filmmakers and many production houses are using digital only. I know of one company still shooting film, because their owner/DP is an old die hard 35mm film guy. But they recently bought a RED ONE and started shooting with it. Guess even he's willing to go digital.

Looks like a lovely camera, and they've boosted the latitude up to 14 stops now!
I loved my brief affair with the Aaton A-Minima during university. It just felt so natural to use. |
