Sony’s new FULL FRAME Sony Venice camera meets with Cinescope Optics
11th Oct 2017
Sony heard we were in town and asked to showcase their amazing new Sony Venice full frame camera with our equally brilliant full frame Cinescope Optics rehoused Leica lenses. The results were outstanding and Sony were real fans of our lenses after the tests.
VENICE is equipped with a 36x24mm full-frame image sensor, designed specifically for the demands and performance of high end cinematography, and can capture images up to a maximum resolution of 6048 x 4032*. By switching imager modes, VENICE can natively support Super35 24.9×18.7mm, 4096 x 3024 resolution (equivalent to 4-perforation motion picture film) and Super35 24.9×14.0mm 4096 x 2160 resolution (equivalent to 3-perforation motion picture film). In other words, VENICE’s new full-frame sensor can capture in almost any format, including full 18mm-height Super35 Anamorphic and spherical and full-frame 24mm-height Anamorphic and spherical*. Almost any aspect ratio can be conjured up: 1.85:1, 2.39:1, 17:9, the list goes on in full-frame* or Super35.
