A Nifty Experiment

Over in the brewer's garden today, testing my nifty-fifty apsc (Alpha mount) lens on my full frame A9 (e-mount). This is in full frame mode with no cropping, I have actually added vignette here. So, cheap lens works a treat on FF camera. The extra is unprocessed with vignette removed in Adobe Camera RAW (still noticeable but pleasantly so).  

A Tech Lesson.
This is part of investigating video a little more. It turns out that Sony full frame cameras can still record 4k video with apsc lenses in "Super 35" mode. So no compromise in quality or output. Looking into e-mounts further and you find it's an industry standard in the film world and Super 35 is how most production TV and film is recorded. This is because 35mm film was originally put in movie cameras sideways to spool on, giving us the original apsc format. It seems there are more e-mount lenses out there than any other mount in the world, they're just all cropped apsc is all.
