FAQ like Info about 35mm lenses

Shane Realm said:
P+S Technik Mini 35 and the LETUS35XL are the only two 35mm Adaptors that connect directly into the CANON XL series camera bodies.

Additional information:
i just studied indie35 options.
indie35 has direct mounts for all posssible filter threads. Only if camcorders MFD supports.
 
i just dont get the point of directly attaching it to an XL series camera. you get the multiplication factor, and you lose all the field of view.... there by losing the whole purpose of a 35mm adapter.
 
I just found this thread...good read.

Some toys in the attic to:
28mm Minolta Celtic 2.8
50 mm Minolta/Rokkor-X 2.2 MC/PF
50 mm Minolta/Rokkor-X 1.4 MD
135 mm Minolta/Rokkor-X 3.5 MD
Some Milo Rings 1,2, and 4
a Reverse ring II
along with a XG7

Time to play I guess

So what are you shooting with right now Marlene? Are you on medium format or SLR, or did you switched to digital? You made me curious in more than one way and confused at the same time by some of your posts. I looked at your photographs and I found a fine display of talent. I like most of them (some more than others) because I like nature (but I still have some question marks work related):)
 
so wait, is the the ##mm of the lens that changes the depth of field, or is it the f stop. and cant the fstop be changed of a certain lens, i thought the number fstop it comes with its the fstop at wide open.
 
it has more to do with the lens. and the GG helps define the look a little. but its how the lens renders the out of focus image is most of what of determines bokeh. i also dont get why people are so concerned about bokeh to begin with. every lens on the planet will render it differently. Theres really no reason to care. you cant controll it too much. And if yo uwant it to look like "film" bokeh, you have to buy $100,000 worth of Panavision lenses to get the same looking bokeh.
 
@TimurCivan

As far as I know you can only rent Panavision lenses. But it may cost $100,000 to rent them, I dunno. :)
 
As I said on the bokeh thread the GG has a far greater influence on bokeh than the lens with an adapter. I've also found there's no increase in brightness between f1.4 and f1.2, and the bokeh looks quite hazy with such a large aperture, so IMO you're better off buying a less expensive f1.4 rather than an f1.2 when it comes to 50mm lenses.
