.. to answer your question on minute 3:45. the reason you get a shallow depth of field on wide open IRIS is because its bringing light from various angles , only a certain section gets focused, leaving the rest blurry. Deep depth of field is the opposite, you have a smaller IRIS so all light comes from less angles which makes it clearer. Analogy, when you get pulled over and cops flashes his flashight on you to check you for dilated eyes (open IRIS) , he wants to see how clear you can see.

Use Nikon 50mm 1.8 D shes sharp!!

from what i’ve read around on the internet, yes. but depending on the adaptor, it may or may not work with the brand of lens/lenses you already have. be sure to check in to that.

Camera rules are meant to be broken!

Looks crazy, but not awesome. Looks retarded and bad.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:23 am
Rules were made to be broken….Naw I’m just joking, breaking the 180 rule is bad.

Does that mean I could use the lenses from my DSLR on a camcorder?
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:23 am
That was an ugly mistake.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:23 am
That commercial “quick tip” is…just stupid. It brakes the #1 rule in film making. The 180 rule.

as for manual focus… u need to be able to focus, not all the time, just at least from a menu or something. This is because the shot needs to stay focused on the adapter itself, and all other focusing will be done by the actual lens that u put on it. So, if ur camera doesn’t have the option to go into manual focus whatsoever, it won’t work, as far as I know.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:23 am
Ah… I see. However, notice that the actual moving shots are done with the aperture closed down so that there is little DOF effect. If you meant that u were gonna use it for less actiony shots like those at the beginning of the video, then by all means go ahead. Just make sure to close down the aperture on moving shots, it will be impossible to chase after someone and pull focus at the same time lol i can see someone doing that…

Look up skate videos by : steve griggs
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:23 am
okay i know that this is an old comment but u don’t want a 35mm adapter for skate films trust me that will give u RAZOR shallow DOF, and it will be a manual focus situation as well, which means that most consumer cameras won’t work and you’ll literally have to sit there and coreograph all the focus pulling and stuff it will not work

hire one

Alright, my movies look good, but they could always use that 35mm look.
Would a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens work as a make shift 35mm adapter for my canon HV30?

Great episode. I made an adapter based on the jetsetmodels schematic. You can view it on my page if you’d like.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:23 am
hey can u tell me how much it was to make one and if you can tell me how to?
and do u need a manual foucusing on the camcorder?
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:23 am
Pick up a used HV20 on ebay.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:23 am
get a twoneil.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:23 am
could somebody tell me a cheap camera that I could use a 35mm adapter on? I doubt my old Canon MV960 would do it. im looking for really cheap okey, i want to use it with skate films so it may get a bit broken haha
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:23 am
I’m having a tough time choosing an affordable adapter…should I go with the Jag35Pro or just a cheap, static one?
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:23 am
I will be using an HV30 w/ an FD 50mm f1.8 lens. I was looking at the Jag35Pro ($300) but I’m wondering if it’s more than what I need, or if I can get a better deal elsewhere.
I know the difference between static & vibrating but I don’t SEE any difference. I believe I want the achromat lens but I really see no difference w/o it. What’s the best deal & best quality adapter out there for my needs? I want the best quality adapter for my lens but do I really need a vibrating lens that is achromat??
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:23 am
I’m considering a Jag35Pro…any better suggestions? I’m on a budget and I don’t want the homemade cheap look in my films–achromat, 5m screen…is it worth the $300?
