Super 35 Sensors
The Mark Vb Directors viewfinder will give you readings for a number of digital sensors within 10% of a given lens focal length.
To achieve this, set the aspect ratio ring to 16:9 and read the 35mm window for Super 35 to match the following digital camera sensors: ARRI ALEXA, Sony F35 PL, Sony F65, RED EPIC-X, RED SCARLET, RED ONE, Canon 7D, and the Phantom HD Gold.

- 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen, also known as Panavision or Cinemascope.
Additional Features

- Film sizes and video formats are color-coded for quick reading.
- The eyepiece focusing ring can be adjusted to sharpen the image at any given setting, much like the viewfinder adjustment on your camera.
