@DAMIANTURKIEH , 10-11mm is the recommended focal length to match a Super-35 camera to an Azure Kinect’s depth camera in NFOV mode. In our Depthkit Cinema testing in 2020, we used a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 6K camera with the following lenses:

The Irix lens gave us more reliable intrinsic calibrations in Adobe Lens Profile Creator, while the Rokinon generated more errors when creating a lens model. However, the Irix when paired with the Pocket Cinema 6K camera would not let us adjust the aperture, so we only used it wide-open (f/4).

Due to availability, we were unable to test another candidate lens, the Canon 11-24mm f/4L, which shows promising spec’s for use with any Super-35mm camera. Because it is a zoom lens, the zoom ring would need to be secured at the widest position to pair well.

The Samyang lens you linked looks promising as well, though it’s unclear if the electronic aperture is compatible with the Ursa mini Pro series.
