How many F stops are the various types of 35 mm adapters losing?
What is best approach make adapter most efficient? Dan is using some special screen. Do adapters work equally well with short and long, and slow and fast lenses?

Do you have to zoom all way in? On FX/Z1 you lose additional 1-1.75 F-stops that way. F2.8 35 mm lens means 3 F-stips loss. So total light loss 6 stops comparing to no adapter shots, is that right? You need 64x more light with the adapter, e.g. 1000 Watts against 64,000 Watts light.

I don't know that you lose 6 stops, but the GG adapter will considerably slow your production schedule (I used only mini35 and Pro35 and remember putting up with a loss of ~two stops).
If you want a 35mm film out, depending on your budget and length of production, arguably you could be better off shooting S35 2-3perf, 500ASA stock, 4:4:4 color, 12 stops latitude, moving along much faster with a smaller crew...!?!? You can find pretty wild deals to rent 3 perf converted Arri35BL2 kits ;-) Here come the flames.... |
