Hospital Shoot Stills

[David W. Jones]

Here are a few stills from a recent shoot for a hospital with the AF100.
This seems to be the norm as of late, but we were moving very quickly, working in very tight areas, and with very minimal lighting.
Many of the shots had practical lighting only, as they wouldn't allow additional lighting in many of the areas, so the camera gain was kicked up over where I usually shoot.
All the shots were using either a Tokina 11-16mm or a Tokina 16-50mm so we could travel light and move quickly.

They all look good, especially under the run-n-gun circumstances, but I particularly like the 3rd and 4th- great atmosphere for available light!
I guess scanning rooms are naturally moody...

That Tokina 11-16 is looking more and more like a must-have lens to me!
Will you be able to post the finished product?

 

[David W. Jones]

Possibly after the final edit and approval.
Yes the 11-16 has saved my butt many times over shooting commercials in very cramped conditions.
I'll get the Duclos PL mount Version as soon as they build more.

What are the main advantages/benefits of the PL version?

 

[David W. Jones]

Well it saves time not having to change out lens mount adapters when shooting with other PL mount lenses, but Duclos expanded the focus scale a little so you have more control when focusing, and added a manual aperture control.
They also geared the zoom, focus, and iris, and the housing is now aluminum. I think they also have stricter internal tolerances as CA is less evident in the Duclos version.
I borrowed one a while back for a shoot and loved it.
I'm also putting together a set of Cooke Speed Panchro lenses to compliment my Cooke 20-100 zoom.
