tristan Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Hi, I would like to know how to achieve fish eye look on XL1 ? Should I go for the century attachment OR mini35 adapter with Zeiss wide angle lens? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member drew_town Posted February 26, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted February 26, 2005 Well if you like spending outrageous amounts of money then go for the mini35. But you can get the same "fish eye" look with the Century adaptor for I'm guessing 1/10th the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I use mini35 with Fish eye lens or even 10mm? does it sound logic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member drew_town Posted February 27, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted February 27, 2005 It'll work. The thing you have to watch out for are those "block" adaptors where you clamp on a 35mm lens straight to the camera. There's a magnification effect on most of them (even the Canon eos adaptor). So a fisheye lens might not look fisheye enough. But the mini35 projects an image on the CCDs. So you should get the same or close to the same image a 35mm camera would. That's why they're so popular and so expensive. But I'd suggest unless you going for a theatrical screening the Century adaptor would be sufficient. It was used on "Full Frontal."

Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted February 27, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted February 27, 2005 Hi, The thing is, a 10mm lens without rephotographing off a groundglass isn't that wide on small video cameras. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
