Unmatched resolution. Unmatched speed.
NEW MKII!
September 2025
The K65K team will be visitig IBC in Amsterdam, September 12–14. We’re sure you’ll spot us walking through the halls — don’t hesitate to come say hello. Stop by and you might just walk away with an exclusive K65K speedcameras giveaway!
August 2025
Since August 2025, the K65K Mark II has been available — a major leap forward in the evolution of our 65mm high-speed camera. With dramatically enhanced stability and improved optical resolution, the MKII redefines what’s possible in large-format high-speed cinematography.
July 2025
Some milestones are technical; some are human. Director Brady Corbet stopped by in Milan — a friendly, off-the-record catch-up as a friend of the project. K65K talk: true 65mm at high speed; notes on internal focusing, stability, and honest analog texture.
March 2025
A friendly hello in Favignana with two Academy Award winners — Hoyte van Hoytema and Andrew Jackson. Outside The Odyssey base camp, a brief look at K65K: true 65mm at speed. We spoke about internal focusing and registration at 360/720 fps — “Nice to meet crazy people.”
Definitely not designed to be a quiet MOS camera, the K65K brings high-speed cinematography into the 65mm film format.
This giant rotary prism camera can shoot on commercially available 65mm negative stock in two unique formats: the large square 1:1 12-perf format, with a maximum speed of 360 fps, and the ultra-fast 2:1 6-perf format, capable of reaching an incredible 720 fps.
We are proud of our proprietary, patent-pending internal focusing system, which enables the use of a wide range of focal lengths — from 50 mm up to 500 mm — while maintaining maximum stability and optical resolution.
| Specification | 12-Perf (1:1) | 6-Perf (2:1) |
|---|---|---|
| Film format | 12-perforation 65 mm analog film | 6-perforation 65 mm analog film |
| Image aperture | 52.5 × 52.5 mm | 52.5 × 26.2 mm |
| Maximum speed | 360 fps | 720 fps |
| Parameter | 5-Perf 65mm | 15-Perf 65mm | Digital 65 HS | K65K MKII |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frame dimension (mm) | 52.5 × 23 | 70 × 52.5 | 51.2 × 30.5 | 52.5 × 52.5 |
| Max speed (fps) | 100 | 48 | 140 | 360 |
| IBI (Tiz) | 12.1 | 17.6 | 21.9 | 99.2 |
We created the Image Bandwidth Index (IBI) — a clear metric that expresses how much visual information a camera can capture every second.
It is calculated by multiplying the exposure area by the maximum frame rate, showing the total image surface exposed per unit of time.
IBI is expressed in Tiz, a custom unit equal to 1 dm²/s, which effectively corresponds to the bandwidth of standard 35 mm film in one second.
For reference, standard 65 mm at 24 fps has an IBI of 2.9 Tiz.
The higher the IBI, the greater the visual bandwidth of the system — meaning more image data, more detail, and more cinematic power.
'Jumping to Conclusions' is entirely shot on K65K mkII – 12 p @ 300 fps, the fastest 65mm camera of the world
