Cropfactor 2.3 or 2.4 ?

I always read both. Wath is now the exactly cropfactor of the sensor?

1.6 when compared to Super 35 film...

Full Frame:
36x24mm (36x20.25mm in 16:9) = 2.27x

Canon APS-C:
22.3x14.9mm (22.3x12.54mm in 16:9) = 1.41x

Here's how I might classify focal lengths on the Cinema Camera.

<11mm is extra wide.
11mm is wide.
17mm is "normal".
25mm is portrait.
35mm is starting to look telephoto.
70mm is a telephoto.
200mm is long telephoto.
1200mm is just ridiculous

1200mm is just ridiculous

Well yes. Yes it is, Nick.

Look Fred, I see the space station.

Fair enough, but Full Frame and APS-C are standards for stills cameras. Maybe it's more useful to refer to AbelCine's FOV comparator to understand where the BMCC sits (FOV wise) compared other film or video cameras.
