Why have one? When you can have two…

Today we have a very welcome addition to our team, to bring greater flexibility to our workflow we have just ordered a brand new Sony HVR Z5E, to go along side our other Sony HVR Z5E.

I have had a lot of time with the Z5 and it is a fantastic camera to work with, as for a HD camera it has great flexibility in low light conditions, has a great lens, with a useful 20x zoom, and the flexibility to move to a memory card recording unit that just clips onto the back.

We will be using both cameras in all our productions from now on, and will soon be hopefully expanding to use a 35mm DOF adapter as well!

The wishlist has been written…

Well in the interests of eventually getting new and exciting equipment – yes, a nice big 35mm adapter for our main camera the HD Sony HVR Z5E, I have ordered a selection of 35mm lenses, and the very first of which popped through the letterbox this morning.

We are hoping to aquire the Jag35XL 35mm adapter as soon as possible, as it gives great image quality, in a vibrating 35mm adapter, has a selection of mounts, and a good support system. If you are not familiar with DOF adapters and there workings then go take a look yourself – www.jag35.com - it can give such an amazing “film-like” quality to any video that it can completely transform the most mundane shots, into images worthy of the big screen.

The lens that arrived today is a Canon FD Mount 35-70MM Zoom lens, with the great Macro functionality which should make for some very nice images using a depth of field adapter. I have also ordered a Canon FD 50mm lens, suitable for most general use, and as it is rated f1.4 it should be good in low light situations.

The last lens we should recieve is the 28mm wide angle Canon FD lens, which I think could difficult to use as it looses quite a lot of light, but the images from it will hopefully be very interesting.
