HD Cam Team Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hey Andrew! Did you test the 40mm pancake with Okii USB controllers? In such case how did it work? Does the 5D3 identify the lens for Peripheral Illumination Correction / Chromatic Aberration correction? How was the AF while recording video or in live view mode with this lens on the 5D3 compared to other Canon lenses? As far as I know, since the AF motor and diaphragm system is [b]in the lens[/b], current Canon DSLR should be able to take advantage of the AF and smooth aperture change of this lens (via Firmware update). Could you check if the pancake has the exact same lens connectors as other EF lenses? I'm suspecting upcoming firmware update for 5D3 will include support for this. Thanks!

tehellet Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I would LOVE to see some anamorphic FS100 footage with that setup you've shown there! It's so damn hard to find any decent FS100 anamorphic footage, there's only a few videos here and there but nothing very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 5, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted July 5, 2012 Stay tuned. I'll have some FS100 anamorphic stuff by the bucket load in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleyg5 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 The Canon 40mm F2.8 in Canada is 229$ (sharper wide open, shallower depth of field) The Panasonic 20mm F1.7 is 499$ What a complete joke, everybody talks about what a good deal the GH2 is and then fails to mention how monstrously over priced micro 4/3 lens are. It's not just priced like premium system it's priced ABOVE all other dslr systems when you take lens into consideration. How sad is it that it's cheaper to build a full frame system than a micro four thirds system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richg101 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 thats a nifty little lens right there! It prompts a question relating to your metabones adaptor re. the metabones ef to nex adaptor. does it provide video mode OSS from IS canon lenses on the nex system? Does the adaptor allow Af tracking in video mode? are there any real let downs? i'd like a canon L 24-70 straight 2.8 on a the emount and the metabones looks like it will allow this..

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 5, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted July 5, 2012 IS - yes. AF - no. But you don't need AF for video, it looks shit ;D No optical degradation or drawbacks with the adapter at all. It is a must-buy, if you can find one.

Yes you can use the EF 40mm f2.8 with an adapter to the GH2 but you wont get the same focal and DOF range if it is on a FF Canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printsofpersia Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hey Andrew. Great review. I was reading through the Anamorphic shooters guide and in the coverage/vignetting section it says that for the Kowa (I have a dual focussing Isco Centavision, the one with Kowa glass in it) that the coverage is 45mm on an APS-C. My question is does this 40mm change this. Can this be used with the Kowa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
