I am about to use vintage Zeiss Jena Flektogon and Biometar lenses, adapted with PL mount, on Arri AMIRA.
Considering that the sensor is not Full Frame, is there a crop factor on this camera? What will be the result using a ZEISS Jena MC Flektogon 35mm f2.4 lens?

Hi, the crop factor depends on the used sensor size.

The ARRI AMIRA is using a 16:9 aspect from the sensor. You can compare and calculate by using the diagonal length, but this is only an approximation, which would result in a crop factor of 1,43
More precise would be to distinguish between Horizontal (1,36) or Vertical (1,62) Crop Factor.
