Having the f2.8 is nice.

Found my answer here :35mm Equivalent Focal Length Calculator (http://www.digified.net/focallength/)

Multiply by 4.

So a 6.5 in 2/3" has the FOV of 26mm in 35mm.

Thanks, but I don't think so.

It's a wide lens, by my eye, I would say it looks to be somewhere between a 28mm to a 32mm.

Thanks,

2/3" lens in 35mm?

Can someone tell me what a 6.5mm wide lens on a 2/3" SD camera, is equivalent in FOV to a 35mm image?

I don't know what to multiply by to find my answer.
Thanks,

What specifically looks better about the JVC footage? Higher resolution/sharpness? Or color rendition?


Maybe the fact that its progressive?

I've tried the 5D2 on the Merlin with the Canon 28mm 1.8, works well.
I think the 24mm would work as well if not better, since it's wider.

I'll post footage with the 28mm later this week.

That's not good.

I was planning on getting the Z7 and the wide angle.

As far as I'm concerned, a uv filter for protection is a must.

I wouldn't recommend the 5D as an "A" camera.
But I would as a "B" camera.

Use the Z7 for your main camera.

For the type of things I shoot, it's great to pull out the 5D for specialized shots....

A wide angle 20mm will be 140mm.
