Landscape Shots

[Jake Richardson]

hello everyone,

 

i have been reading some posts here now and appreciate the detailed responses.

 

lately i have been take some still shots with a large format camera in the sierra nevada, and i have been wanting to take some 35mm movie shots in the same setting....mountains, lakes, forests, sunsets,

 

here are some digital shots of the scenes

my question is, could i use a konvas 2m, or similar konvas with the basic set of primes such a camera kit would include to get sharp, contrasty 35mm cinema images?

 

or would i need to try and find a more expensive lens, such as a zeiss prime?

 

my concern is that i am not familiar with 35mm movie lenses, and i don't want to

waste time and money using the trial and error method.

 

also, would it be possible to do landscapes under moonlight with a 35mm stock?

 

would 500 asa with a fast lens wide open still not be able to create a decently exposed image?

 

with my large format camera i typically used 50 and 100 speed fuji films.

 

and a night exposure could be 30 seconds.

 

thank you,

Certainly better lenses are always better lenses. If you had a Konvas with a PL mount that would open up the possibility of sharper, faster lenses with better contrast. But 35mm film really can't compare with large format so there will be a noticeable difference.

 

The best way to do moonlight would be with a capping shutter arangement and shoot almost like it was a timelapse shot..
