Oh I forgot to tell you, this addon has a custom option that you can easily
edit, but it won't remember your custom settings unless you create a preset
file and load it every time.

I don't know if you can code, but even if you don't know Python or
scripting in general, you can add a new preset quite easily.
Just open the RealLens.py with a text editor and in " dCameraTypes " add
your camera specs in millimeters. Just keep the format (quotes, brackets,
comma , at the end if it isn't the last preset, etc)

Ex:
"Arri Alexa HD": [23.760, 13.365]

And you'll have a new option for this camera

Now, the cool thing with this addon is that you specify your camera specs
in the custom property and it will do the math for you and calculate the SI
camera values no matter what Film Aperture you have in your SI camera.
The not so cool thing is that it doesn't change your SI camera Film
Aperture, but it calculates instead the equivalent Focal Length with your
current Film Aperture.

The image result should be the same though.
