FORBES70 65mm Motion Camera adapter prototype

From the same brain that brought us Dog Schidt Optiks, Richard Gale has designed the FORBES70, a working prototype 65mm digital camera. Here's a link to where he discuses the basic design and shows examples of focal lengths with various medium format lenses:

It's basically a box with a medium format mount on the front and some ground glass and a Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera inside. This is a gross oversimplification of the design, but those are the broad strokes. It also has 6 stops of internal ND. Although the camera is not capturing as many pixels as some of the higher budget large sensor offerings, I find the larger format visually pleasing.

Another link to some colored footage:

Since it's being captured with Cinema DNG format, you should be able to get the image exactly how you want it.

Hey guy's found this developer whose working on a new Raw 1080p 2/3inch chip CCD Global Shutter camera the images are crisp and filmic. Description: (Truesense KAI-02150 CCD sensor, global shutter, 1920 x 800 pixel, 25/45 fps, other resolutions and frame rates are possible Recording software saves Cinema DNG files, 12 bit RAW Fujinon tv-lens 12,5 - 75 mm/f1.2) Here is what he had to say: "I have calculated it to ca. ISO 200, with gain it is good up to ISO 800. Sensor is 2/3" optical format, image area 10.56 x 5.94 mm, 5.5 µm pixel size. Captures up to 95 fps at 1280 x 544 pixels, sensor has 1920 x 1080 pixel"

If this pans-out right It can be a great tool to use in conjunction with the lovely Blackmagic Cinema Camera, or soon to come Pocket Cinema Camera. Let me know what you guy's think about this development.
