XH-A1/SGpro.R3 - day one

[rslv]

Had a couple of hours to install my new SGpro and do a testshoot.

Setup was:
Canon XH-A1
SGpro Revision 3, Canon EOS mount
Canon EOS to Contax/Yashica mount adapter
Carl Zeiss Planar C/Y 50mm f/1.4

No external monitor yet - focusing HD on an upsidedown A1 LCD image isn't easy!

Don't expect much. Just thought it might be of interest to some.

Lovely stuff, definitely looked sharp when you had that focus dialed in

I just got my A1 last week and I'm already thinking about 35mm adapters, even though I can't afford one now. How do you find the light loss with the A1 and SGpro? I love almost every piece of footage I see from it, but the Letus Extreme's small amount of light loss w/ integrated flip is really an attractive option. Still, the look of the SGpro is undeniable.
