    downloading  the latest resolve version however i think i'm temporarily rolling back to an earlier version  as the current version 16.2.1 and the version im downloading require 32 gigs. Ram has been ordered however the guy that runs the store has no idea when it will arrive as apparently corona virus has messed things up nicely and that was two weeks ago . Resolve does run and it hasn't fallen over yet, it does tend to be rather sluggish. The whole, is it running, will it finish or fall over is annoying to me ( not that i hold bmd responsible ) i just want it working like it did before in a previous version. Considering my editing is at a rather basic level, living with an earlier version isn't an issue  for me.
    Teaser photo of the canon lens, still waiting for the adapter, should be here by friday i hope. I dont imagine it would be a cinematographers first lens choice. I have a couple of projects in mind where this could be useful. It does like mint inside and out. Once the adapter arrives i should be able to confirm if i got a bargain or not. Actually just had a brainwave i still have a canon t90 in the cupboard i can mount it to that and check out the optics. Initial impressions are, looks like i got a bargain i'm a happy chappy at the moment. Considering the pretty average light bulbs i have, things look good. while i have the t90 out, heres some vintage action for you   i had forgotten what lenses i had looks like the fd mount will get some use after all

    Dear lens enthusiasts,
    I plan on doing a showoff of my adapted projection lenses with a little comparison to 'normal' consumer glass.
    Initial plan was to put the camera on a tripod, put a tiny something around 70 cm in front of it, then have a human subject (most likely me) sit around ~ 2m in front of the camera and, finally, some deep background with just a bit bokeh in it.
    Rack focus between those three.
    Time and place of shoot: golden hour, somewhere outside, non-controlled environment.
    No color charts (I don't have any), no corner-to-corner sharpness tests.
    Maybe I'll manage to put an anamorphic adapter in there, too.

    A visualization of what I have in mind (apart from the color chart):
    Examples taken from this test.
     
    i'm thinking out aloud, if a few people could do something similar with their lenses, that would be quite a treasure trove of information.

    You can, Braw was added in v6.2, so v6.1 was the last update with DNG. You can get it here: 
    Update notes - Mac - Windows
    If I remember right, it's just a case of removing any other BMD update software from your computer, installing this and plugging the camera in. It should then install v6.1 (on cameras that shipped before Braw)

    leslie got a reaction from kye in Simulating a Tiffen Black Pro Mist filter in post   
    i kind of think if the 1/8 is too weak, then perhaps it can be enhanced in post. You have dedicated a whole thread to making something from nothing, not that i am knocking your efforts at all. My mentality is its easier to physically fill a hole than it is to dig a hole, so if i carry that over to the digital realm i would rather add than subtract. I feel that for my way of doing things, its better / easier (perhaps) to do it in camera, then if you have to enhance it in post you have that option. 
    damn it kye, now your costing me money as im now curious as how a 3/8 would work and how it would compare to a 1/2 and i dont even have a 1/8 yet 🙄
    actually for a bit of a theological side debate, do you guys feel that an image will hold up longer if your add "effects" to it as opposed to subtracting an "effect" and  it would break sooner ? Hmm not sure i articulated that well enough, hopefully you get the idea

    thanks for that info heart0less. I think for now a circular 1/8 in 58mm will cover most of my lenses and is cheap enough to experiment with. I kind of like a subtle look, less is more, well that's the way I'm leaning at the moment 😀

    I was after a 2.8 manual focus mid range zoom for years when using Pentax DSLRs and just occasionally, I would see this lens on Ebay.
    I have had a lot of mid range manual focus film era zooms and most have not been great, two exceptions being the Tamron adaptall 70-210 3.5 (model 19b), a lovely lens but very big and heavy and Canon FD 80-200 f4 L (this one I never had until a lot more recently).
    When I DID see a 60-120 2.8 lens, they were very few and far between and all from Japan and usually very expensive or had fungus or other issues.
    More recently i have given up on old lenses unless I get them very very cheap from the charity shop I volunteer at or likewise at a pawn shop i haunt but have gotten rid of most of them in the last couple of years.
    I was looking for an AF portrait lens on Ebay for my A7s but kept going down and came across this old lens (around 40 to 50 years old).
    $150 Australian plus postage is an absolute bargain and when the lens was listed as near mint condition, well I put off paying the electricity bill to buy it
    It turned up today (two days early) and I fell in love at first sight and want to marry it after a minutes use!
    There are very few reviews of it around but most say it is very good though some say it is not sharp...Well I think it may well be the sharpest zoom i have ever had and its bokeh is to me, superb.
    It is not quite mint (though looks like it was made yesterday), One touch and the focus works very smoothly but the zoom action is a little stiff (better that than loose though).
    Minimum focus distance is a fraction longer than i would like but that is just nit picking.
    For video, I will only use it to record single musicians either seated or not moving far just for the odd song (on a tripod and zoomed to the focal length wanted and set).
    For stills it will be a wonderful portrait lens (all I need are victims) but it might be a while before i can use it properly unless i stop random people in the park.
    I am sure it will have downsides (maybe if a light source is in view though yet to try it) and I get a new flash in the next few days that i want to try it with.
    IF you can find one in even half decent condition, from what i have seen so far, I would say BUY it (or kill for it but check the prison will allow you to keep it with you first).
    Some lame first shots.    Any errors are MINE, not the lenses.    All at 2.8

    Well its been awhile, a couple of lenses have been added to the collection. The first being a russian lens an industar 61,  53 f2.8,  nice exterior, great lenses but more play in it than the local kindergarten, which is rather disheartening. focusing turns really easily till it hits a rough patch in the middle. it was the only question i didn't ask the previous seller seeing it was pretty cheap it would probably cost more to send it back. So far it seems like it requires a different flange distance adapter to what i have already Things being a bit tight i haven't really worried about sorting it out just yet. The other lens is a vintage canon or fd mount, but its a bit of an odd one for the forum i think, and its still on its way from the usa. Postage was quite reasonable oddly enough coming from the usa, however the conversion rate left me high and dry. Looking on ebay it seems about $60-80 cheaper than some others i have seen, hopefully its a good deal.
    I have sworn of lenses till i can put some dollars together for a fvd16a for the elmoscope type 1. Got a confirmation email from rapido this morning that the fvd16a will fit. I'll just buy the front adapter / clamp thing as well, i have the rear mounting already sorted.

    well the first timelapse of 2020 is done and dusted. If you have a spare one minute 40 seconds take a look,
    used the gopro with the letus anamorphic and the rage cam battery eliminator. The battery easily lasted the day. I had the gopro setup on video with the timelapse function so it built a video as it took a photo i ended up with 1.3 gigabyte file. I did edit it down to just show the birds, lots of bees use the water i notice. Pretty sure a lot more animals use the water than i caught this time round as usually the bath is half empty. May have to run a light or two and film into the night, but thats a test for another time. i'll keep going trialing different settings and see what else turns up. I defished in gopro studio then edited in resolve, the cuts are pretty noticeable need more practice with that aspect. there is no sound might have a word with ironfilms about a cheap 2 channel recorder thats good at ambient nature sounds

    Put in a session with the p4k and the lomo 40mm and elmoscope this afternoon.  the lomo fits inside the clamp housing and slides in nearly 10mm, no vignetting with it at either up against the elmo or sitting at the back of the clamp. the only issue is that the lomo has the aperture adjustment on the front close to the lens which is a pain in the ass. So its not a long term solution but at least i learned 40mm doesn't vignette on the p4k with the elmoscope. 35mm does vignette with the elmo but since i usually crop the sides it would probably be ok. Thats a test i want to do soon.
    One layer of masking tape allows for a nice snug fit with a cheap 77 step up filter and nd on the front of the elmo. Had some issues with my cheap card dropping frames so the samsung t5 ssd holder is back on duty slung underneath. Has anyone found a usb 3 cable with a 90 degree end ?

    Ignoring how poor the photos are (this old 70-150mm lens is very ordinary, I can take it back and get my money back but better to not let it back out in the wild again).    The filter looks a lot better on a 50mm lens but I do not have any anymore (will get a cheap one soon i guess).
    Near wide open with filter, without and stopped down without at 70mm.     By rotating the front ring of the filter it effectively changes from four rays to two (it is freezing out so I just went out my front door for  minute or so).
