I have been trying to find the sensor size of the si-2k but I haven't had any luck. Will my s16 lenses cover on this camera? They cover on the RED in 2k. Sensor sizes are all over the place so it is kinda confusing.

Yes, they will cover. I can't recall the exact size, but I know that the sensor is somewhere between 16mm and S-16, and slightly larger than the RED @ 2K.

Hi Nathan,

At full 2K the sensor size is 10.24 x 5.76mm.
At 1080 (windowed) it is 9.6 x 5.4mm.

A Full Ap Super16 film gate is 12.52 x 7.41mm.

If your lenses are supposed to cover S16, they will definitely cover the SI2K.
