Camera Metal
Posted on Friday, September 3, 2010 in Photography
Why are film camera lenses supported on metal runners?
Cameras like the Arri (for shooting celluloid) or Sony's Cine Alta and other video cameras adapted for cinema (vs. TV) have what look like two metal bars that run under the length of the camera and lens. Is it just because film lenses are heavy and need extra support? And what is the contraption called?
Yes, they support adjustable lens shades and matte boxes.
