HMC-150 w/ LEX and nikon lenses

[nantnee]

This is my first real test with the LEX. This is at Mount Sandia, rest is listed above the video. There was def. some quality loss from the transition from FCP to QT to XR. I'll be fooling around to find a good output and such. Here ya go.

Out of those lenses which do you like the most? My Nikon 50mm 1.4 will be here tomorrow morning.

I think for a lot of those really wide shots I would have preferred to see footage without the adapter. It doesn't really do much for me then. I like closeups with the adapter though

looked excellent!!! on some of those shots did you add a vignette effect? or was that the adapter? regardless, i liked it a lot!






(and hell yea, crystal castles!!!!!)

I would say the 24mm. I would have used stocked lens for the wide shots, but I was testing my lenses and adapter. The 24mm gave some cool looks on some close ups i did. The vignetting was actually my fault. Normally, i would go by what I see on my LCD screen to determine if lighting was good, or if vignetting was occurring. But I read that most people zoom into z73, so I did, and I thought the edges of the LEX were out of the frame (which it wasnt), it was too wide for the nikon lens, and in turn caused the vignetting. I would never do that for a paid gig, obviously, but stylistically I do like, and in it turn I edit the video around that. But the blacks and white disappeared during the upload. man o man.

I definitely liked the colors. Did you do any color corrections? Did you use any ND filters for these shots? Or did you utilize the built in ND and iris?

I loved the wide pans. They are great!

I noticed some square artifacts at the beginning when the car drove by....was that done on purpose?

Yes. I did some CC in MB. I used the built in ND filters in White Sands, it was WAY to bright there, hard to judge how much exposure I needed.

Are you referring to the color blocks as artifacts?
