Sony NEX full frame?

[Thoth]

Do note that for the full frame e-mount video camera, if you mount a normal e-mount lens it then only shoots in CROP mode.

The flange distance of the e-mount and the e-mount lenses was never designed for full frame.

Is it so difficult to produce E Mount FF lenses? Sony should just outsource d FF lens design n production to Zeiss once and for all.

Great idea, without AF they will sell like hotcakes.

Learn about flange distance. If sony produces a ff nex, it will also need to create an adapter/spacer just to boost the flange distance.

This has nothing to do with Zeiss.

Yep agree unless the NEX flange distance in the 1st place Sony already considered to accomodate FF sensor

They didn't. The NEX is an unexpected success for them

This is nothing new. Many RF telephotos are long because there's a longer space between the rear element and the film surface. The lenses are going to be large anyway. Nothing is going to change that. I'm personally not seeing the problem of adding a centimeter to the distance between the rear element and the sensor.

 

[Thoth]

They could re design a new NEX system with modified flange to suit d newer FF lenses if any

Then i guess the next NEX FF will not be compatible with current NEX lenses unless it uses an adapter with glass to correct the flange distance. Which will degrade the IQ :-(

Precisely. FF mount? LOL.

There is absolutely no need to do any modification to the system. The Flange distance can be kept the same. The FF lenses can be designed such that the rear element is further from the sensor surface.

In fact I have encountered at least one comment that Sony might have simply adapted some of its Alpha lenses for NEX just by increasing the distance between the rear element and the sensor. Essentially a built in extension tube.

Wun tat add to d bulk?

Yeah but this means your NEX FF lenses is not backward compatible? It wont work with apsc NEX bodies. Unless the non FF NEX uses an adator

They will work. The only difference is the size of the image circle FF and APS-C lenses illuminate. All they have to do is vary the distance between the rear element and the sensor.

FF lenses are bulky by nature of the large image circle they have to illuminate. That's the fundamentally unfortunate aspect that can't be avoided.

 

[m32t8103]

I think the reason why FF does not come in NEX is because Sony already realized that the current E-mount lens is not that compatible with FF sensor =D. Maybe they trying out the Rx1 to test how many people wanted it to be on NEX as a survey and also giving them time to fix the current issue FF Sensor to E-Mount

 

[tntrue]

. . . or maybe a hybrid mount, which more than one website has speculated on . . .

But can current NEX lenses produce a FF image circle? And even if they can, how will the corners look? ;p

 

[Thoth]

End of d day. I'll use legacy MF lesnes on whatever mount d FF NEX provides. Haha

Yeah same question for me

Haha me too

 

[ageha]

And call it F-mount.

That's why Sony might not be interested in releasing such a camera.

I get what you mean bro its like the same for a-mount lenses FF and DT lenses? same mount and flange distance just the construction of the lens will differ... yeah doable but with very narrow flange distance will that result to bigger lens?

NEX flange distance is 18mm the smallest FF interchange body is the leica M mount but it's flange distance is 27.8mm for NEX with FF lens be able to illuminate the 35mm size sensor with that smallish flange distance it need the rear element to be bigger....
