  1. I'm wondering if any of you would be so kind as to help me out with a little

    advice; any help would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Recently an old freind from my film school days recently got in touch to

    ask if I'd be interested in going into partnership and starting a short film

    production company with him. He's from a theatre background, and would

    like me to be responsible for the cinematography. He's asked me to source the equipment in line with his budget.

     

    I'm considering whether to reccomend a Canon 5d MK II (many good things

    I have learned of this camera), but one thing I need to find out before

    we go ahead, is how compatible the camera is with Nikon lenses. When

    I've been using a 35mm lens adapter, I have a good collection of Nikon prime lenses, and if I can use them with a full 35mm frame camera

    we would be doing very well. However I've heard of difficulties with

    adapters, although I know there is a cheap version and a novoflex

    version. I just wondered if there are any genuine problems such as

    vignetting, obstructive pieces of metal on certain Nikon lenses, unusual

    difficulties with the more wider angle lenses (24mm is my lowest at the

    moment but a 16mm might be coming soon), or anything else of note exists

    that you might have ever encountered in your own recent experiences.

     

    As mentioned, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Many thanks again,

     

    Tommi
