Same

Oh sure. That’s actually how I use it. I didn’t end up buy the Electronic ND. I just use a Mattebox and 4x5 filters.

@@ScottBalkum I'm looking for a smaller form factor. I do a lot of gimble, drone and Cineshooter + work with the Komodo for automotive and aviation work. Do you ever use filtration on the front of the lens wo the mattebox? If so, I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you. On the BM’s EF mount, it unfortunately won’t work. They are using the sensor spacing from a mirrorless camera to EF for the optics. With the EF, mount, there is no room, even for the PL to have the optics in there. The PL version only works with the mirrorless cameras, like the BM with the L mount.

Well, I addressed that very thing. Some of these vintage lenses are quite expensive. Renting a set of Super Baltars is about $600/day. Doesn’t take 2 days to pay for it, “if”, the look with the tuner is close enough to what you want. Module8 didn’t just pick 3 lens looks out of the blue. They picked 3 sought after looks that are very expensive to achieve. So, if the look you’re after is met with a Helios, no need to buy one. But if the look you’re after is a little more spendy, these might just fit the bill.

You’ve missed the point…

Way to characterize that character.

Hmmm, I don’t know. They would need to be tested.

Unfortunately, the NISI Athenas protrude too much and cannot be used. The new Nisi (faster) we saw at NAB will work when released.

The Xenon are going to be cool. Total transformation of character. The zeiss should be pretty cool. I’ll be interested in hearing what they do with the Leica R’s.

@@ScottBalkum I will keep you updated when I do. I get back to the USA in Oct.

They really are cool with what they can do. I became hooked once I understood what they did

Great review and test. I really like these things. I’m glad you showed the actual results rather than getting caught up in describing the lenses they are supposed to emulate. I’ve seen people dismiss them as being a gimmick, but they are quite sophisticated. They also aren’t comparable to diffusion filters. I really hope they catch on and the line expands some more.

@@CaseyPreston Thanks. Yea, they are very different from a filter. I think they will catch on. There’s just too much that they do for the price.

Not really since the EF lens image circle is 35mm and VV is 40mm

Removing it is ill advised. These were manufactured without the filters. You need to have a filter made that matches the IR block or else dark clothing will appear greyish.

@@ScottBalkum ah, so it would be needing an additional filter to be made to swap in and out then? Standard monochrome is fantastic, but I’d definitely like to poke into the IR territory if possible.

Its kind of a running joke now that I intro that fast. :)

REX

@@ScottBalkumhi Rex!!!

@@ScottBalkumdo you share the pork with him?

@@StarLightDotPhotos Rex always gets the leftovers if there’s not enough for another meal and its healthy enough for him. In this case, we had like 20 meals from it so he got to lick the plates and we left a little on there for him.

I do tourism videos, like to monuments, on a gimbal... So I want something better than the 15mm and wider for that landscape shoots, but CA and softness are not of my taste. Better to find some old Zeiss za 15mm ef mount?

I appreciate you!

Most welcome!

Excellent!

Sold my SonyA1 because I wanted Nikons telephoto options. Now shoot a Z8... And NO regrets. I prefer the Z8 over the A1, period. And I shot the A1 for 2 years so I know that camera well, the Z8 is bettee in many ways. Bye bye Sony!

Rush?
