    Lens mount flange distance was off a bit so it came out quite soft, not to mention my inability to export proper movies from Premiere to Vimeo, well, first time here...

    What could be the best settings for outputting for Vimeo?

    Looks good! Keep it up! What settings did you use on the HV?

    Have a look at some of the posts by Eugenia Loli-Queru for the best instructions on exporting for Vimeo. She has some brilliant time saving tips.

    So did you use 2 lenses? And which adapter did you go for. The shots look really good, did you add any colour correction or filters?

    Cheers

    It was shot with Letus35 Mini adapter. HV20 was in Cinemode and the only custom setting was in-camera contrast. No CC on the footage. White balance was just plain sunshine preset too.

    Looks great Tõnis! You have a good eye for composition. The 14mm lens gives a nice look. I like it!

    14mm looks great. It is frustrating though that you are still getting the X-shaped lens flares. Good job!
  •  
  • Yeah agreed this looks fantastic.

  • Let me borrow that lens.

    Love the "feel" of the footage. Looks very film like (to me at least).

    do you prefer nikon or canon lenses?
  • Tõnis Liivamägi plus 2 years ago
    Canon FD because of the focusing direction - as the infinity is at the right as on any motion picture or broadcast lenses.
  • Maz1878 2 years ago
    how much of the shot does a 14mm keep in focus? seems like a good run and gun lens.
  • Tõnis Liivamägi plus 2 years ago
    No it isn`t a run and gun lens my any means - it has too radical geometry and some edge softness for that.
    24mm f2 @ 2.8 is good one for hand held run and gun situations. I have shot quite much with 24mm, walking on mountain tracks etc.

    For good export quality from Premiere, use the H.264 codec - excellent results and a wonderful size. It works pretty well for me - 2 minutes of HD footage at 720p came out to about 95 megs when exported with the H.264 codec in Premiere CS3.

    I've been toying with the idea of buying a letus mini for my hv20 but I want to know who does it handle slower and wider lenses. I can see you have some vignetting with the 14mm, which could be a problem for my 15-30mm. Was the vignetting intentional?
  • Tõnis Liivamägi plus 2 years ago
    It will possibly be a problem. And it wasn´t intentional in this vid but I wasn´t aware that I was using wider than SLR FOV on this. Is your 15-30 designed for copped sensor DSLR? If so it could be usable as those won´t vignette but in the other hand those won´t allow aperture control so I assume it isn´t.

    The acclaimed Tokina 17mm f3.5 vignetted really bad on my Mini and I saw recently that the new 25mm Zeiss is bad too.

  • rawfa 2 years ago
    Thanks. I'm afraid my 15-30mm isn't designed for digital...which leads me to believe I'll have the same problem or worse...since we're talking about a f3.5. Too bad. I really had my eye set on a letus flip.
  •  
  • rawfa 2 years ago
    That sucks and it should be address by the letus gang...after all the ad says "NO VIGNETTING"
  • Tõnis Liivamägi plus 2 years ago
    I've not seen any of the manufacturers except maybe Cinevate's Brevis that maybe would vignette as less as the lens design allows. No vignetting means that when you zoom in that or that much and you will lose FOV by almost all manufacturers I think. And then come the Academy guys with their cropped PL lenses that are designed for Academy frame so you got a 10mm Zeiss that yill give you 16mm FOV in terms of still photography. Where the hell would one find a 10mm crop factor lens that would allow me to dial in aperture settings, dead end. So I feel a bit bad about that vignette and FOV issue as the only real solution is to use real Cinema lens (and not those shitty ones) or maybe Brevis but then comes the dancing noise of an oscillator. I hope you understand, cause I wouldn't believe that anyone else could ;)...
