Q: 2. Can you add shims to this adapter and are any sold for it?

A: Unfortunately, the manufacture does not list shim capability for the SLR Magic PL to MFT-Mount Adapter.

Q: 3. does this lens cover full frame?

Q: 6. description says "suitable for 4k capture", will there be image issues if I record on a higher resolution than 4k?

A: There won't be issues recording higher resolutions with the SLR Magic MicroPrime CINE 35mm T1.5 Lens (MFT). The higher resolution may render the "flaws," in the lens and they may be more noticeable. Some consider such flaws to be "character."

Q: 7. Will this cover super 35 sensor?

A: No, the SLR Magic Microprime Cine Lenses cover micro 4/3 sensors.

Q: 8. how would this lens work on a smaller sensor such as a super16 - 12.48 x 7.02 mm sensor size ?

A: If the lens mount and the flange depth are correct, then this lens will cover a Super16 sensor and focus without issue. I would assume you are thinking of the Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera and are wondering what this lens would actually look like on it. With anamorphic, in order to maintain perspective, the rule of thumb is to 2X the focal length for the focal length you would normally use. In Super16, the Rule Of Thumb (ROT) with regular lenses: wide is 12mm, normal is 25mm and telephoto is 50mm. When shooting in anamorphic, you would then consider 25mm the wide, 50mm the normal and 100mm the telephoto. With this 35mm anamorphic lens, you would be getting a moderate wide perspective in the frame. This of course is not the same thing as the wide aspect ratio you are shooting in. (Which is the whole point of anamorphic.)

Q: 9. What is the focus throw, is it the same across all the other lenses in the set?

A: All the SLR Magic MicroPrime CINE lenses feature 150° of focus rotation.

Q: 10. Will this work with the 1.33x 40 anamorphot?

A: Yes, SLR Magic says their 35mm will work with their 1.33x 40 anamorphot. Cue Quentin Tarantino.
