  1. Thanks for your response Paul, much appreciated do you have any experience with Canon glass?
  2. Hey guys, I know, I know just looking for opinions. I have an eclectic mix of Canon and M42 lenses so far: Canon 24-105L F4 IS Reasonably sharp and has IS but focus ring is pretty damn short. Canon 50 F1.4 USM Sharp!!!!! Nice colour and contrast, just the focus ring from *! Vivitar 28 F2.5 M42 Pretty soft til F4, vignettes, and flares but cool and retro lens Mir 37mm 1B F2.8 M42 Pretty sharp at F4 but crazy hotspotting Pentacon 50mm F1.8 M42 Soft till about F4 Jupiter 85 F2.0 M42 Soft wide open, but sharper as you stop down, nice CU lens Pentax 135 F3.5 M42 Pretty sharp just flares like a * and pretty low contrast outdoors. Now what I wanted to know is I love all my lenses for their idiosyncracies, but I am gearing up for a feature and I want to add to my lens kit, I want lenses that match and that are sharp for the big screen. Canon glass is cool, but expensive and the manual focus is pretty rough for focus pulling, however love the look of that 50 1.4!( I was initially just going to add a 28 or 35 and 85 in canon to my kit). However, I am rethinking now and leaning towards building a Nikon AIS kit from scratch after hearing such rave reviews from Shane Hurlbut. Are they as sharp as their canon counterparts? I like the idea of having a set of lenses that have long focus throws, are matched and have a solid build quality I just dont want to start plopping down cash if it is not really worth it. What are people's thoughts? Any help is much appreciated. Cheers
  3. Hi Hunter I already PM'd you on dvxuser because I had forgotten my password here. So sorry for the double post, but I just have some questions. Hi Hunter, First off let me say I am a big fan of your work and I just wish you would update your blogspot more often. Love your red tests matching red to super 16 stock etc. I have a 5d mark II would I be able to use such an adapter with a photo lens and could you recommend one? & If so how do you attach the lens to the photo lens do you need step up/down rings do you need to get spacers for focus? Sorry for all the questions but I thought you might have experience in this?! PS is this the type of projector lens you are referencing http://cgi.ebay.com.au/BAUSCH-LOMB-2...ht_2686wt_1007 Thanks in advance for your time, and I hope some day to be able to return the favour! Sam
  4. I think Adam Wilt on provideocoalition said the ex1 had 10 stops of dynamic range which I am pretty sure is more than the jvc has.
