21. "Parallel" EOS C300 Test
1 month ago
PRONEWS asked me to write a review on EOS C300 over the last year-end. To explore the camera and its potential in the shortest time, I decided to shoot a short film with it (...for, after all, it's a 'Cinema' EOS, right?). Knowing it would be a no-budget project, I wrote a simple script and called up some friends to see if they had the time to donate for the project. So this is how this little piece was born. I hope you'd enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Where didyou get that magified optics from on the sunhood of the TVlogic?

Anyway...
The lens I used as a magnifier on the hood is a macro scope adaptor, Raynox M-150, attached upside down. It is actually not a magnifier glass, but a photographic lens.

So it is superb, free of distortion and chromatic aberration. But you'd better be careful not to allow direct sunlight into it; it'll burn your LCD panel otherwise.

Thanks for the answers! This looks like a good solution.
Viewfinders and monitors.... It's allways a problem!
I know from the burning... had ones a small issue with a viewfinder of a Canon Xf305...
For the next project I might use the Canon C300. It's a feature film to be shot in Jordania. So I need something reliable!
Thanks again Akihiro and keep up the good work!!
This is the C300 pre-release film that I've seen so far.
The shots are also for the most part loaded with super fine detail that really stressed the camera and its codec. As far as I can tell, it held up wonderfully except in the 2nd shot. The blinds showed luma aliasing pretty bad (upper 3rd of frame). I didn't see it anywhere else, I guess it was just a tough shot for the sensor.
Well done! Thanks for sharing.
Mostly though, I'm trying to imagine what the moire on his kimono (while crossing street) would look like on the 5d, or almost any other camera). Overall the detail and freedom from aliasing is simply astounding. Thanks for posting these files.
The locations you chose are so lovely...
So you're good to go with the camera's default, so to say! :-)
Did your HocusFocus work fine with the used lenses?
