Hi

I did a search but with no luck for these questions.


The Red one prime lenses and zoom lenses, what is the diameter of the front element, are they compatible with the 4X5.6 matte box?.


SLR Canon fdn nikkor ed fixed focal lenses, which focal length lenses are compatible and will these lenses maintain the original focal length?.


Thank you

Hi,

Lenses will always maintain their original focal length, regardless of the camera you attach them too.

Hi Gaelkyles,

Check out these threads, they may help you understand why different cameras, with different size sensors (or negative size), give you different images.
