12. Super 35
The Super 35 format offers a range of technical advantages
compared to filming with anamorphic lenses:
• a larger selection of available focal lengths,
• smaller and lighter-weight lenses,
• faster lenses,
• shorter lens focus for close-up shots,
• clearly reduced image distortion and geometric aberrations.
In addition, a greater variety of post-production possibilities
is available.
For shooting in Super 35, the lens mount receptacle and the
upper plate of the bridge plate must be altered for the format.
This ensures that the lenses and accessories are exactly
aligned to the displaced optical center of Super 35.
