+ What lens mount options are available?
The Mini LF uses the same mount style as the original Alexa Mini. Our Mini LF includes a LPL mount with a PL adapter. We also offer a Canon EF mount.
+ What the heck does full frame mean?
Full Frame is referring to a century-old film/sensor size that is roughly 36x24mm. It is said to have a more natural field of view and bokeh(out of focus background characteristics) compared to the tighter Super 35mm size.
+ Is the Mini LF Camera more light sensitive?
Technically it has the same light sensitivity as other Arri cameras, however the larger field of view allows for shallower DOF with a comparable super 35 lens.
+ How do I figure out field of view?
To figure out a full frame equivelent field of view in LF full frame mode, take a Super 35mm lens and divide by 1.5.
