First test with the new Letus35 adapter

Ok well here's my next test video.

Things I must apologize for:

1) the shakyness of the video -- I didn't secure the camera SUPER well so during bumps it will shake a bit.

2) The grain. -- I forgot to turn on the power to move the focus screen.

3) the quicktime codec -- seems that the QT version gets washed out a bit more and isn't as clear. I wanted to keep teh file sizes down though....

Anyway, I will try to get an actual person next with some dialog and remember to lose the grain next time. :beer:

Whoa, be careful, you could spawn a Mac vs. PC debate with a question like that. ;-)

Probably, you've got your videocard set to handle the quicktime files. I'm not sure how all that works, but I know I've done it by accident before, so that the video overlays. It caused a really washed out image on all MOV files, but other programs were fine.

It's probably in your quicktime control panel.
 
Yeah, the interior footage looks much better.
...and keep the Portishead flowing...:beer:
track 9 from the 1997 self titled album would be my request

I bought one for my panny GS150. I'm very pleased with the results so far. I do have to throw a lot of light on things because of the poor low-light performance of the 150, but once I have things lit correctly, the image is great.

I have the GS120, so that's basically the same.. Do you think you could post some framegrabs with the adapter?

Sure thing. But maybe I should start a new thread. It might be off topic for this one, since it's for Reflex's tests.
 
Nice shots...

Thanks :thumbsup: I just finished shooting day 1 of a music video. TOTALLY a guerrilla shoot, one light, a few hours to shoot in that location... so it was a little tough.

Here's some grabs. Color and all that isnt' consistent just becuase i was trying out some different looks and what not. Day two of shooting at a different location will be in about 2 weeks..so finished product should be @ the end of the month.

This is probably a really n00b question, but these 35mm adapters have really intrigued me as of late. From what I've read on the Letus35 page it seems like they just sell it with the lens mounts. No lens included. Is that correct? Do you have to supply your own Canon or Nikon lens?

Right. You tell them what lenses you plan on using and then they will supply the correct mount. Then getting the lens is up to you. i.e. I have a 50mm nikon so i asked for the nikon mount.

Reflex-The grabs look super, super soft. Almost out of focus? Is that on purpose? Tim.

Yeah actually. I just used some magic bullet on them to get a general idea of what I'm trying to do. So it's adding both white and black diffusion on most of the grabs while bumping contrast too. That might not be the final look. After the next shooting day, I will start cutting it. I will have more lights by then and a crowd some other shots so hopefully it will come out alright.

Actually there are a couple more you can check out here if you're bored.

Thanks for the reply Reflex. I was pretty sure they didn't include a lens. I just wanted to make sure before making a buying decision. Thanks again.
