You're right ! I use the DVX100 so it does have a zoom lens,,,pardon my mis use of the term Thanks for the examples, easy enough for me to understand

I tried this in the 'lens' section and got nothing gonna give this a try here. All I'm looking for your thought process,,, nothing too deep, just a fast and dirty on what draws you to one lens or another given a situation PASTED POST ---------------- I'm just starting to work with storyboard software that allows for the selection of common camera lens on a set. I'd like to learn what lens and why, or what lens you'd use given a location, or desired effect. Until now I have been tethered to the fixed lens of my video cam. As a result I don't quite know the difference between a 35mm and a 50mm lens, hence the post. The software allows selections that include Primes by Zeiss, Cooke and Panavission. This program also allows for Max Zooms and Hieghts outside the scope of Primes. All that is great but I'd like the 'fast and dirty' regarding the basics to help me select and understand why one would prefer one lens over another given a set or desired effect. Thank you in advance

Thanks Chris,,, seems I should know that but sometimes a fellow's got to be told... James,, I am using Frameforge which is pretty OK I guess Hence the lens question since simulation in the software does not immediately look any different and I'd be interested in knowing the best way to decide on a lens selection for given environments.

Sup ,, no takers ?

Hey all I realize this would be a question that would probably leave one open to the style and tastes of a DOP,,, but here goes...

Hey kids I came across these and decided they deserve a good home. Basically, I don't even know if they work and they do seem to be 8mm cams from "back in the day"... I know I won't use them and I know I'm not going to start a museum anytime soon but someone out there may very well be interested. Again they are free but you will have to pa shipping. I'm thinking 10.00 bucks U S per cam should cover it,,, lower 48 only please. Cheers Joe

WOW 50.00 BUCKS,, can you imagine ? This would be a really cool thing to stage in a film school classroom, would be way cool !!
