Thought I'd mention that - rather surprisingly - my venerable (but butchered) Pentax A*85/1.4 is now in regular use as part of my son's video kit!
Being a (3rd year university) he doesn't have much spare money so I gave him a load of bits and bobs to use for his projects and paid work. He is currently editing a video that he shot of a new 4 million quid building that opened at London South Bank University, and I saw a rough-cut last night. The were a few really dreamy shots with narrow DOF and lovely bokeh - I asked which lens and sure enough he has been using the Pentax (and wide open) for anything like that. The sensor on the C100 camera is Super-35, so not quite full frame. When he's finished it, I'll try and get a link to view. A 35 year old lens still doing great and mixing with a bunch of Canon L glass. Who'd a thunk it. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Production ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
