Just remembered that HD is 16:9, not 4:3, so my filmback size was wrong. You want
9.6mm x 5.4mm
or
.3780" x .2126"
which on your 7mm lens would give you a horizontal FOV of
68.885°

Holy thread revival batman!

I'm still a little confused by this stuff (I know I know). So in boujou, it wants the film back size (which I don't have, but I know it was shot on a Sony HDW-5900H), and the focal length which is 3'2". I tried searching on the web for the film back size of that camera but no information for that camera even comes up at all. So I guess my first real question is does anyone know the FB size of that camera? The only information that we have on the camera is the lens (7m which I'm assuming is a typo meant to be mm), the foc which is 3'2" and the PSF which is 23.98. Well and some other random info like height, tilt, Tstop, roll etc.

I ran a quick track on it without using the correct FB info and no surprise it comes into xsi with a FOV of something like 12 (way off visually). I'm a little confused with all this conversion stuff so any input would be appreciated.

Thanks guys
