I'm trying to determine how my old camera setup compares to the AF100, specifically when it comes to FOV and crop factor.
My old setup was an XHA1 with a Letus Extreme. I used the same lenses on it I use now which are Nikon Primes. The A1 has a 1/3rd chip and required me to zoom onto the ground glass of my Letus to zoom point 72 or so out of 1000. The internal lens on the A1 is as follows:
4.5-90 mm (32.5-650 mm; 35 mm photo equivalent)
So based on that zoom estimate I landed at about 61.56mm on the internal lens or 444.6mm as a 35 mm photo equivalent.
I'm trying to figure out what the crop factor is on the lenses I put on this old setup. Also, I'm wondering what size chip the Letus simulated for me giving me the DOF. To my knowledge zooming in on the ground glass was basically giving the camera a new "chip" on which to record info, right? That's the basic idea. So does it really matter at all what zoom point I was at? Does zooming in and focusing on that basically cancel out the 1/3rd chip and internal lens to a degree?
I need a math wiz here.
EDIT: Just found out the frame size in the Letus35 Extreme is 46x30, larger than the 35mm full frame size (36x24), and much larger than 24x18 (academy frame size). To my knowledge I didn't zoom very far into the GG, but just enough to escape any dark edges.
