HVX+SGpro+Nikon+Zeiss

[iposiniditos]

Hello,

i have made a quick test (1hour for shooting and editing)
with the following setup:

- hvx200e
- SGpro (r.2)
- nikon 17-35mm f2.8
- carl zeiss 50mm f1.4 zf
- carl zeiss 85mm f1.4 zf
- extension tubes

I have shot it at 1080p25.
You can see the other settings (camera, lenses) at the video.

As for the shots, really nothing fancy, just some kellog's on a bed:)

No cc, no further post (just titles and 2.35:1 mask).
It has been made in a room with only the available natural light from a window.

My comment after this test...
The first thing that i wanted to see was how my new nikon 17-35mm
will perform with the sgpro. Amazed... 17mm looks great and funky!
This lens is extremely sharp. It can beat many primes in terms of sharpness.
As for the sgpro... nothing new.
SGpro is THE adapter... sharp, sharp and SHARP!

i would like to hear your comments.

thank you,
theodoros

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8D is a lens that made in 1999.

thank you Spartacus.

the 17-35 looks very good on adapters. I still can't get over it's focus ring though.

iposiniditos,

I've seen your "fifty" short film, and that looked nice. One of my friends did a similar themed short film way back but with a $2 bill lol.

Anyway, I wanna know more about the ZF lenses. Other than obviously being sharp lenses, are they really any different than the Nikon AIs? In terms of design: like focus markings, barrel movement/breathing etc?
