Don Kotlos Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Related: This is probably some of the best looking footage color-wise I've seen out of the Sony A7 cameras I don't know Zach, to me it looks ungraded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelaxstudio Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Gelaxstudio, the problem I had with an adapter and the Canon TS 24 II was that there was a lot of light flare hitting the sensor. I believe this is a general problem of all wide-angles on adapters with the A7. It maybe the problem of the adaptor ,try another adaptor ?

richg101 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I don't know Zach, to me it looks ungraded. It looks like the shooter chose a beautiful day, at magic hour, selected the right WB, exposed correctly and avoided s-log and overtly messing around in post all together. Provide these cameras with good light and a bit of an understanding of how to correctly expose and set wb and they never fail. Shoot in 'low light' in urban settings with a mix of horrible sodium bulbs, led's, neon, and tungsten car headlamps and every digital camera will struggle in some way or another.

Nah, as you can see everything is grey, that's slog and probably he filled the grays with some orange.Everything was shot handheld in Slog2 - 2 stops over with the 24mm T1.5 Samyang Lens. Have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxotics Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 It maybe the problem of the adaptor ,try another adaptor ? I might be. But if so, you'd need to buy one of the expensive ones. A tilt-shit lens works by bending the light across the sensor. Sort of like a hose that sprays one side of water onto the sensor, and the rest off to the sides. The baffle in the adapter bounces the light back into the lens. Of course, these issues are meaningless for videographers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronFilm Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 A stills body primarily targeted at video is a niche product. Not hybrid--that's common now--but primarily meant for video, with decent stills as a side bonus. Great for guys like us, but it leaves most stills shooters scratching their heads. Not to mention Sony's lossy RAW, abysmal battery life, and lack of tilt/shift lenses (adapted lenses are an option, but suffer from planarity issues that kill sharpness on such a pixel-dense sensor).a) I reckon people who use stills cameras for video mostly, are more common than you think. Pretty much every indie / low budget / student filmmaker is doing that. b) Sony now has allowed shoots to not use their lossy raw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelaxstudio Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 b) Sony now has allowed shoots to not use their lossy rawFunny thing is, before uncompressed raw was undated to A7RII,that lossy raw still scored NO.1 on DXOmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
