Philip Bloom a facut recent un review la Noktor F0.95 50mm, o buna ocazie pentru a afla detalii despre aceasta lentila, dar totodata sa inveti cateva siretlicuri.

De asemenea Philip Bloom a realizat si un test shots  cu Noktor F0.95 50mm montat pe Panasonic GF1.

Review of Noktor F0.95 Hyperprime 50mm lens for Micro Four Thirds

I was contacted by Noktor if I was interested in reviewing this lens for the micro 4/3 system. Naturally I jumped at the chance. Although being away from home I don’t have all my gear. My GH1 is at home but I have my GF1 with me. Not ideal as not as good at video at all, but still usable.

Ever since the lens arrived it has lived on my GF1 and the GF1 has lived in my man bag! It’s such a fun lens to shoot with.

Of course being 50mm on a micro four thirds give it an equivalent field of view of what you would get with a 100mm on a 5dmkII, so it’s not a very wide lens. Much more of a portrait lens which is not a bad thing at all.

First off for a lens this fast….it’s cheap. It is retailing for $750. For a lens this fast you would normally have to pay a lot more.

Wide open obviously it isn’t super sharp, it’s what I would call soft focus dreamy, stop down to F1.4 and it’s surprisingly sharp.

It has a minimal focus distance of 0.6m, a filter size of 62mm and 8 aperture blades. I noticed that when stopped down a little the “Circle of confusion” was hexagonal in shape but wide open was circular. Apart from from the edges which where more half moon. I actually was actually quite partial to this look…Check out these stills I took with camera below. Some are wide open, some are stopped down…

Shooting video with it on the GF1 was a challenge. With no manual controls in video mode I set the camera to shutter priority and 1/50th of a second which is optimum shutter speed for 25p. I set the ISO to lowest possible, set the iris it the F stop I wanted and using the Fader ND 72mm (with a 62mm step up ring) I got exposure and hit the exposure lock button so nothing could change. It’s a sort of way around the auto issues on the GF1. I also used a Zacuto Z-Finder, essential for me to get even close to focus with this lens!

The Fader ND  is essential if you want to shoot video on this camera or even stills and shoot wide open during daylight. It’s my HD-DSLR number one accessory.

The image was definitely sharper closed down but wide open I was very please with the image. I did a few tests shots under and on Santa Monica Pier. I really want to try and use this lens on the GH1 as soon as I can to see what it really is capable of in video mode.

It’s got lovely smooth iris and smooth focus, no vignetting and it’s not too heavy it has the right balance of weight for me and build quality is excellent.

All in all a very nice lens for the price, lovely to be able to shoot is really low light. I would love to see them make one for the Canons now! You can order one here, or at least be put in line for one!

For comparison below is a shot taken on the $11,000 .95 Leica lens in the M9 by Rick McCallum.

Thanks to Sara Collaton for the BTS photos.

EOS 5D Mark II: Firmware Update v. 2.0.3

March 10th, 2010 by admin received No Comments »

EOS 5D Mark II users can now review a Brightness or RGB histogram  on the rear LCD before shooting video.

Firmware version 2.0.3 will add several much-requested upgrades to the EOS 5D Mark II’s Movie Mode, including variable frame rates such as 24p (23.976) and 30p (29.97).

Now, EOS 5D Mark II shooters will be able to monitor and manually adjust audio levels prior to shooting. In addition, the sampling frequency has increased from 44.1 KHz to 48 KHz.Another benefit of Firmware v2.0.3 is the ability to shoot movies while in Av or Tv modes (previously, only fully automatic or fully manual shooting was available in Movie Mode).

March 2nd, 2010 by admin received No Comments »

Canon a anunțat că mult așteptatul update de firmware pentru modelul EOS 5D Mark II, va fi disponibil începand cu jumatatea lunii Martie. Versiunea de firmware 2.0.3 permite înregistrare video în format Full 1080p HD la 24,25 și 29,97fps pentru se potrivi cu standardele de televiziune PAL și NTSC. De asemenea aduce posibilitatea de a controla volumul audio (sound recording levels). Pentru a se potrivi cu standardele de televiziune a fost crescuta si frecventa la care este înregistrată partea audio (audio sampling frequency) de la 44,1KHz la 48Khz.

Modificarile de frame rate:

1080: 24 (23.976fps)
PAL: 1920×1080 și 640×480 la 25fps
NTSC: 30fps (29,97fps)

Histograma va fi disponibila pentru Manual, Shutter-priority (Tv) și aperture-priority (Av)

Cred ca ar fi frumos dacă  are ieși și un update pentru 7D care să aducă control manual pentru audio + altele.

  • Dacă ai jumatate de ora liberă, ce faci cu ea?
  • Ce resurse, din cele pe care le ai, le folosești pentru a-ți împlini pasiunea?
  • Câte din momentele în care meditezi, le petreci gândindu-te la pasiunea ta?
  • Îți manifești bucuria cu privire la lucrul despre care spui că ești pasionat?
  • Ești dispus să faci sacrificii pentru pasiunea ta?
