Re: telephoto lens for $100 bucks?

Hi Folks, first time DVX user.

I took the plunge and bought one from Ebay and just got it today. I am new to the Video world and I would not do justice in reviewing this lens like all you pro's. I am willing to trade this for something of equal value or $$. Anybody interested?
 
Re: telephoto lens for $100 bucks?

mixmasterwes, the whole point of this thread is for everyone to know the quality, before the buy. no one's going to be interested until the review comes in...
 
Re: telephoto lens for $100 bucks?

Yes mix . . . a frame grab with and without the lens is all it takes ;D
 
Re: telephoto lens for $100 bucks?

Sorry! I told you I was new to all this. So, how should I proceed? What would be the correct way to capture the true quality of the lens or any lens etc....

Let me know so I can provide the stills for everybody to see.

Thanks :o
 
Re: telephoto lens for $100 bucks?

So pick a subject that has a relitive amount of detail to zoom into, have it well lit and lock off the camera, as not to move that is. Then shoot some footage in 24p and take note of the camera settings. Do the same with the lens mounted and transfer the footage to your Hard disk. Use your regular editing programme to export a frame and upload it to any location of your choice that you can link us up to to have a look. A more in depth review would eventaually be a more proficient users job . . . maybe when Jarreds lens falls out of e-bay limbo ;)
 
Re: telephoto lens for $100 bucks?

Ha ha ha... well not so funny. I got it today, and it will be going back tommorow.

If you ever borrowed the coke bottle glasses from that poor nerdy kid at school and looked through them that is what you get.

Im not talking just crappy optics, Im talking about it not even be usable, unless of course you are shooting Fear and Loathing 2.

The lens wont focus past 70, and under 95 it vignettes.

Wait till you guys see the frame grabs from this hunk of crap.
 
Re: telephoto lens for $100 bucks?

some quick grabs, sorry they are so ugly but im not spending any time on this piece of crap.

zoom 70.. about the max point of zoom without loosing focus.

Re: telephoto lens for $100 bucks?

that's sucks, I can't believe how bad that is.... thank's for putting this topic to rest jarred.... I guess if I really want a zoom lens, I'll have to fork out the $$$
 
Re: telephoto lens for $100 bucks?

ah yes.. you definately get what you pay for.
 
Re: telephoto lens for $100 bucks?

hey jarred, where'd you get that fisheye lens? you plan on doing a skateboard flick w/ the lovely vignetting effect? :P
 
Re: telephoto lens for $100 bucks?

ha hah .. if it actually went wide then hell ya it would be kinda cool.. but all you get is a crappy zoom doubler that is so distorted I wanna puke.

Its so bad I think its impossible for this one i got to not be defective, because man I dont know how they can sell em?
 
Re: telephoto lens for $100 bucks?

HOLLY COW!! I SURE HOPE THEY GIVE YOU YOUR MONEY BACK! THANKS ZOOM! NOBODY BUT YOU WOULD DO THIS TO SAVE YOUR FELLOW HUMANITY FROM FOLLOWING A HELLBENT IMPULSE TO BUY THAT THING. HOPE YOU DIDN'T DAMAGE THE THREADS ON YOUR CAM WITH THAT CHEAP _______. ANOTHER REASON WHY I LOVE DVXUSER.COM
 
Re: telephoto lens for $100 bucks?

yes dude its totally messed up.. almost like they put the elements in ass backwards.

Man when I put it on and looked through the viewfinder for the first time I seriously started laughing so hard I almost fell over.
 
Re: telephoto lens for $100 bucks?

and in case you couldnt tell by those grabs... there is absolutely no extention of the lens.. meaning you get the same focal length with or without the thing on.
 
Re: telephoto lens for $100 bucks?

OHhhhh crappppp

I just saw this rad deal on ebay and bought myself 8 of those things.  I was like, yeah for this price I could get 8 telephoto adapters for the price of one, so I could have like a 16times magnification! It would be like useing an 11,520mm lense.

Crap carp carp carp carpediem crap carp.
 
Re: telephoto lens for $100 bucks?

ha ha would be cool if you did.. specially if you got my "model" that doesn't magnify, you would have an 5 foot extension that didnt do squat.. but man you would cool and the chichs would dig ya.
