  • PMW-350 XDCAM 2/3″ lens mount question

    Posted by Richard Cooper on July 1, 2010 at 8:46 pm

    Question on the new PMW-350 XDCam EX camera.
    It has 2/3″ CMOS sensors and it lists a “2/3-type Sony Bayonet” lens mount on camera. The stock lens is not what I am really looking for, would like to get a nice Fujinon HD wide angle as well as a monster HD telephoto to go on the cam. So I wanted to know if the standard 2/3″ Fujinon and/or Canon HD lenses will fit on this camera.

    The reason I ask is that the F/800 lists its lens mount as “Sony 2/3″ Type 48 Bayonet Mount” and the PMW-350 as “2/3-type Sony Bayonet”

    Are these the same thing? I just don’t want any surprises and find out that the PMW-350 has a “special” 2/3″ lens mount and won’t mount standard HD lenses.
    Any insights would be most appreciated.

    What about the digital back focus? The lens that comes with the 350 has no back focus ring… it is done internally. Does/will Fujinon or Canon offer other lenses with digital back focus for the 350? I also like the autofocus option.
