Adapter FOV

In theory, there is no crop factor because the GG is larger than the standard 35mm size; the camera's sensor is taken out of the equation. But in practice, you'll most likely end up with a FOV that's narrower than a 17mm can provide due to the need to zoom in to avoid vignetting.

It is really hard to narrow down because each adapter yields a different zoom setting to avoid vignetting like Huy said, so FOV is going to differ between rigs. This gets even worse when dealing with wide lenses because you want to maintain the wide FOV obviously, but you have to crop to get a clean frame. The HVX/Ultimate seems to have a pretty great frame size, meaning you don't have to zoom in as much.

Andrew is right, it varies with cameras, adapters and a whether you are talking about an SLR lens or a cine lens . Most adapters will allow you to get the cine lens FOV though I'm not absolutely sure you will get full S35mm you probably will.
However if you are using nikon or Canon lenses that 17mm, the SLR FOV is wider than S35mm. Some adapters will give you full SLR FOV and some won't. Currently with the EX-1 adapters only seem to achieve something loser to cine FOV (i.e. S35mm).

Thanks guys.
So anyways it's an improvement over the tiny camera sensor. That's all i wanted to know. What I was thinking about is how can you have S35 or larger on a camera that is 16:9 natively ? Shouldn't it be a 4:3 cam ?
1 more question: How do you know how much to zoom so you have a S35 format in your viewfinder ? What's the method ? What about if you want to have the 2,35 format ? You just crop in post or can you use a mask on the mattebox for this ?
