Q: 1. Are there distortion maps stored via cooke/i? How good are they?

A: The Angenieux Optimo Ultra Compact 21-56mm Zoom Lens (Feet) (B&H# ANGOUC2156FT) features very low distortion, no ramping, minimal breathing, and outstanding center to edge performance. Through its external 4-pin LEMO connector for connecting to an external drive or a display unit it will also transfer metadata using the Cooke /i data protocol standard. Since it is not listed as utilizing the /i Cubed standard, however, it will not be providing distortion mapping data in particular.

A: You would need to use the FF because the image circle on the lens will not cover the sensor in open gate it is taller than normal s35.

Q: 6. Do you need to have lens support?. Thank you.

A: The PL mount is robust and meant to securely hold heavy lenses. This lens is not too heavy, only 4 lbs. However, I would not normally use this lens without support. The leverage created on the lens mount by the camera fighting the lens goes right to the lens mount, the most crucial adjustment on the camera. The mount and the lens are set to tolerances of plus minus 5 10,000 so you do not want strain that mount at all. If that adjustment is off, all your footage will be soft or the lens marks will be off as well. So if the camera and lens never move, you probably will be OK. But if you are moving, put a support under it.

Q: 10. Can I use with FX9?
