I have not calculated for any of those, i use a Nizo Pro. As far as i know it splits the light to the viewfinder.

Does the notches on a film cart only make a difference when you use the cameras internal light meter?

I noticed in the Super wiki entries for the two Nizos above, that the 6080 had a 200 degree shutter angle but there was no shutter angle listed for the 4080. Is it also 200 degrees? I tried to look it up in the manual and missed it. The Merzbarn spec chart lists both models as XL.

just watched the trailer. that is truely stunning. The eyes really do work and because they are real it seems to really pull you into the animation.

The lighting looks stunning from what i can tell on the 45 second trailer on youtube
