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.

New Panavision Digital Cinema Camera

70mm Digital Raw.

The camera will feature on-board recording via an SSD, perhaps 1.5Tb

It will feature a Titanium body, and should be a couple of pounds lighter than the Arri Alexa.

It is expected to record DNxHD and ProRes, in RGB and maybe RAW.

The sensor can be windowed down to 42mm and 35mm formats.

They’re keen to allow a wide range of metadata to be captured and recorded onboard, making it “the VFX department’s dream camera“

They are also looking to develop a new open codec format

We’re expecting to see a prototype in the next six months…
