Interesting. How would zoom work?
- user-the-name 6y agoI don't think zoom lenses are very common on medium format cameras.
- brudgers 6y agoSince the Pentax 645 in the 1980’s, medium format zooms have not been uncommon. That’s about when 35mm zooms really took off. The new Fuji G system has zooms and Richo-Pentax has created new zooms in the last decade...and still sells FA models from the late 1990’s. More studio oriented systems still tend to only offer primes.
- rodgerd 6y agoAbout a third of the Fuji GFX lenses are zooms. They're less common than for small format cameras, but certainly have a place.
- andy_ppp 6y agoThe lenses are currently designed to focus onto a flat plane - its actually no different to design them to focus onto a curved sensor, apart from the camera and lenses can be made smaller... I’m surprised smartphone cameras don’t do this for that reason.
- hatsunearu 6y agoNot sure how curved sensor would prevent zooming? (In any sense/implementation of that word)
