Sony PMW-EX3 Official Thread

Greetings from Moscow

Well, since this nanoFlash thing became very interesting, and there is the other thread regarding the acceptance of the EX1 and EX3, I thought I ask here Sealux, who has a housing for the EX1, what they think about the nanoFlash and the modification of the EX1 housing. Well, they were very interested in, and promised me (and the Wetpixel folks) that they will take a closer look how they could incorporate it...

Best,

by the way, I made a little interview with them

The beeb etc must have a standard on this due to the fact that there are a fair few cameras around now with HD-SDI out and uncompressed capture is very viable. I thought they had a clause that states if the footage comes from a camera with 1/2" chips or larger and is over 100mm/sec it was classed as HD?

I totally agree with you Shaun about housing the EX-3... I wonder whether it will allow you to use different lenses??? Otherwise I can't see any advantage over the Ex1. Thinking about it.... What lenses are available for the Ex-3?

Other than the lenses actually made for the EX3 mount (of which there are 2?), any 1/2" HD lens can be used. Both Fujinon and Canon make lenses for this chip size. Lately I have been using the Fujinon 13x3.3 lens with the adaptor supplied with the EX3. Ideally, if anyone makes a housing for the EX3 it would incorporate the use of this lens for general work. Unfortunately the cost of this lens and others like it is very high, somewhere around $20K.
