Shot with Canon HV20 and Nikon 50mm lens. The focus is a little bit out as I had zoomed in a little too far into the focusing screen and it was out of the focusing range for the Hv20. Need to get a bit more steady with the shots too. Love the adapter.

    Cool footage. The HV20 seems like an amazing little cam.

    What's sort of cats are they? They look very similar to our cats. Quite funny.
  • Yeah once you work around the HV20 annoyances it does magic for what it is.

    The dark one is a Tonkinese and the fluff one is Birman. Good fun to film as they are both curios cats. What are your cats? show me some footage :)

    Thought so .... we have a Burmese and a Birman cross Siamese. I thought I'd stepped into the Twighlight Zone when I watched your video - they look remarkably similar at first glance to our cats :)
  • Heheh, that would be freaky :)

    That's nice! The RNG obviously does a great job.. I didn't notice any vignetting.
  • yeah I am very happy with it. The next version of the RNG is going to be even better!!

    Hi Peter, Love your pussy cats and i like the music you put with your vid. I hoping to get my HV20 soon and I'm wondering about the comment you made "HV20 annoyances"??? what are they????
    I'm a bit worried now. although every thing i've seen it do is amazing Quality.
  • hehe they are fun cats. The music I whiped up myself so glad someone liked it. Ok Hv20 annoyances are more related to if you have intentions to use it in Proffesional use. I have an XH-A1 and comparatively things like focus and exposure controls are tricky on the hv20 but the reason why the hv20 is great is because alot of Consumer cams dont give you true Progressive, controls for the exposure and even proper focus controls. Really its just getting used to using it. So if you plan to use it in a creative maner all the controls are there. Its still one of the best Consumer cams out there. For the price it can't be beaten.

    Hi there Peter,
    Thanks for the info on the hv20, I was a bit concerned that it might have some little thing that may have been a problem but you have now straighten that one out for me.
    It's also looks likes i might have to invest in a 35mm adapter also to give me more flexibility on the focus side and tele lens, would i been right in thinking this way???
  •  
  • yeah the focus is the big difference but also does give an organic look and a full array of options when it comes to lenses. One thing to keep in mind that if you do invest in a 35mm adapter is that the image is flip-flopped so when you are shooting thats how you will see in the lcd. I've been shooting this way but if you really struggle then there are options to get a flip module like the Brevis or an external lcd screen.

    Hey Peter -
    What type of adapter did you use? How much do they cost, do you know? You get a very shallow depth of field in some of those shots, it looks beautiful. I work with an HVX200 and have worked with the 35mm adapter and some lenses, but I am not ready to buy a kit yet, they cost a lot of money. Thanks.

  • head over to RNG35.com to check out the details of the Adapter, its around $700 which is almost half price of Brevis and Letus. There has actually been a lot more improvements, especially image wise since I shot this footage. Haven't had time to post more stuff with the new version.

    Head over to the RNG Imaging group (vimeo.com/groups/rng) to check out other people using the RNG35 adapter.
