The RED V-Raptor 8K VV sensor in numbers
Vista Vision 8K: 40.96 × 21.60 mm, diagonal 46.3 mm. The tables below use a circle of confusion of 0.041 mm (sensor width ÷ 1000) and a 16:9 image taken from the full sensor width, 38.45 × 21.60 mm. A 50 mm lens frames like a 47 mm lens on full frame (factor 0.94).
Lens sets from our list that cover the full 46.3 mm diagonal: ARRI Signature Prime, Zeiss Supreme Prime. Super 35 sets such as the ARRI/Zeiss Master Prime or ARRI/Zeiss Ultra Prime vignette in the corners unless you crop.
Up to 120 fps in the manufacturer’s spec — at high frame rates many cameras crop the sensor, which narrows the angle of view; check the recording mode and enter its active area as a custom sensor.
Depth of field on the RED V-Raptor 8K VV at T2.8
Total depth of field (near to far limit) at three working distances. Example: 50 mm at 3 m holds 2.64 m to 3.47 m.
| Focal length | at 1.5 m | at 3.0 m | at 6.0 m |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18 mm | 2.18 m | ∞ | ∞ |
| 25 mm | 88 cm | 4.67 m | ∞ |
| 35 mm | 42 cm | 1.81 m | 9.76 m |
| 50 mm | 20 cm | 83 cm | 3.54 m |
| 85 mm | 6.7 cm | 28 cm | 1.14 m |
| 135 mm | 2.6 cm | 11 cm | 44 cm |
Field of view and shot size
What each focal length sees in 16:9 on this sensor, and what that makes of a standing person 3 m away.
| Focal length | Horizontal angle | Frame width at 3 m | Shot size at 3 m | Full-frame equivalent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18 mm | 93.8° | 6.41 m | wide shot | 17 mm |
| 25 mm | 75.1° | 4.61 m | full shot | 23 mm |
| 35 mm | 57.6° | 3.3 m | full shot | 33 mm |
| 50 mm | 42.1° | 2.31 m | medium long shot | 47 mm |
| 85 mm | 25.5° | 1.36 m | medium shot | 80 mm |
| 135 mm | 16.2° | 85 cm | medium close-up | 126 mm |
Hyperfocal distance
Focus at the hyperfocal distance and everything from half that distance to infinity is acceptably sharp. On the RED V-Raptor 8K VV at T5.6: 2.75 m for 25 mm, 10.9 m for 50 mm.
| Focal length | T2.8 | T5.6 | T11 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18 mm | 2.84 m | 1.43 m | 74 cm |
| 25 mm | 5.47 m | 2.75 m | 1.41 m |
| 35 mm | 10.7 m | 5.37 m | 2.75 m |
| 50 mm | 21.8 m | 10.9 m | 5.59 m |
| 85 mm | 63 m | 31.6 m | 16.1 m |
| 135 mm | 158.9 m | 79.5 m | 40.5 m |
Frequently asked
What circle of confusion should I use for the RED V-Raptor 8K VV?
0.041 mm follows the cinema convention of sensor width ÷ 1000. For 4K delivery on large screens, or when you judge focus on a big monitor, ÷ 1500 (0.027 mm) is safer — the tool’s “strict” switch does that.
How much depth of field does a 50 mm at T2.8 give on the RED V-Raptor 8K VV?
At 3 m: 83 cm (2.64 m to 3.47 m). At 1.5 m it shrinks to 20 cm.
