Photos and Videos with 35mm Showtime + Nikon 300mm f4 + Canon HF200 (1 Viewer)

Here are some videos and photos taken with the 35mm showtime adapter. The photos were taken with the camcorder's photo mode, not the best quality but quite decent for web sharing.

Thanks Mike. I'm still trying to work out the combo....trying to improve on the sharpness on the video, although the stills will never improve.

Hi Weng,

Nice footages. There are some chromatic aberration on Parrot picture. According to me, if your 300mm Nikon is an older model this may come from the lens. But if your lens is a newer model there should be an incompatibility between the lens and the Showtime adapter. Anyway I believe you footages can be improve a bit more if you correct the CA in software. But they are already nice. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Murat. Definitely from the lens. CA is more obvious when shooting against the sky, but perfectly well when shooting eye level. Well, just have to make use of available equipment, and learn how to use it in best manner. can't afford to change / upgrade lens whenever not satisfy with the final result at this point of time.

by the way, i uploaded the actual footage from the camcorder directly to vimeo without any post processing. since the recording via 35mm Showtime adapter is 'upside-down', i didn't turn and lock the camcorder all the way. instead i make sure the camcorder is upside down so that will save me trouble to flip it using the computer. it works for me!
