Junipero: The Last Son of Celestie

I really dig these samples. M2 looks like a winner to me. I do notice some quality loss though. Mostly around the edges of the screen I see a loss in sharpness, it looks blurred. On some other people's footage it looks like a zoom blur. Is this avoidable if you calibrate it even better, or will you always be able to notice that it was filmed with an adapter?

Also on particular shots of your short I see some heavy grain. Does the M2 lose a lot of light intensity? Or were you filming under real low light conditions in the forest?

I know this is nitpicking, but these are some questions that were on my mind seeing also other peoples footage. The movie looks really great! Congrats!!

Im using a smaller achromat to lose sharpness on the edges intentionally (some of the blurs were added in post). The whole movie is about dreams and past lives, so I liked the artsy fartsy "dream" look. The M2 also adds "film grain", I'm not sure which shot you say has "heavy" grain but I think the web compression makes it worse than it really is.
