Hi People!
I'm a former Still Photographer becoming a cinematographer, so I have some questions about lens mounts that I can't find anywhere
1- What kind of lens mounts exists? (for example in Still photography there are lots of mounts like Canon EF, Nikon, Minolta A/Sony Alpha, Olympus 4/3, Pentax....etc) So I would like to know what kinds of lens mounts exist in film and digital professional cameras.
2- I will buy this year a JVC HD110, and I know that it has a "1/3 bayonet mount", is it a popular mount? because I can't find any lenses for this mount.
3- Can I use diferent lenses via adaptors? like from more expensive film cameras like Arri, Panavision, etc?
4- Same question as above, but instead of using lenses for film, digital cameras, using 35mm still photography lenses, like a Canon EF.
5- Sony launched a new HDV camera that has an interchangeable 1/3 mount, and there will be an adaptor to use Minolta A/Sony Alpha lenses on this camera (I have lots of this lenses)
So my question is... the JVC has the same 1/3 mount, so Can I use this Sony adaptor to use my Minolta/Sony lenses on the JVC?
Same example for the Canon XL-H1, there is an adaptor to use Canon EF lenses on this camera, so could I use this adaptor to use Canon EF lenses on the JVC? (if the XL-H1 has the same 1/3 mount, I don't know...)
Sorry for so many questions... but I couldn't find this info anywhere
Thanks!
