Those look really nice! Interesting to see the Letus getting used with the TRV900... very unique.

nice, I'd like to see the finished product when u get it done. what lens did you use? mm and speed.....

Thanks!

2 lenses:
Canon FD 50mm 1.8
Vivitar 70-210mm (mm might be a little off, don't have the lens in front of me) 2.8 I think. This lens is my fave, though the Canon is a "better" quality, the zoom gives that super shallow DOF you see.

Wide open on both lenses. Adjusted the iris on TRV.

The images look sharp, did you do any sharpening in the camera or in post?...thanks

No. I don't believe the 900 has a sharpening adjustment. It is a very sharp, clear picture as far as 3ccd video goes. Sony started pretty strong with that model. Color isn't that great, but the Canon lens adds something and I did grade it in After Effects (but the grading actually desaturated most of the color and dropped some tint and serious contrast on it). But I am now shooting with the same lens setup on a DVX100 and I still go back to this 900 footage and scratch my head. I'm shocked myself at how good it looks.
