canon wide angle adaptor and DOF
Am I right in assuming that using Canon's wide angle adaptor will decrease the depth of field at a given stop compared to using the primary lens?

yes, your right I mistyped I meant "increase" I have the flu and 103 degree fever so I'm somewhat out of it right now... But after thinking about it some more would it really have any affect of the DOF as its just gathering more light to pass through the primary lens as it normally would?
|
I've been tempted in the past to get stuff like this, but my better judgment says not to. If it too good to be true...... Although I really would like someone to get one and then tell us if it works... I've already been suckered a couple times, so I'm not volunteering this time...
But anyone else willing to make the plunge for the "good of the community"? :) j/k... kind'a. |

Do you mean using the same aperture and effective focal length but with the 0.8 WA adapter on? (What would be the point?) |
Might be a low cost way to obtain a "cheap consumer camcorder look" effect on your footage for productions that need it without having to buy a cheap camcorder or use additional rendering time in post
Heck, $40 is less than the price of a good 72mm UV filter. |
I would be intrigued to see what a $40 WA actually does. Go on buy it and post a few screen grabs.. or just buy yourself a couple of nice bottles of wine and enjoy!

For a dream sequence it could be perfect. I make my living as a (still) photographer and usually shoot with a $3,000 camera body, but I've had pretty swell results with my $20 Holga as well.
I couldn't get the link to work--my only concern would be buying from an unknown dealer, and getting overcharged or something. Quote:

Wide angle options
Hi everyone,
(considering I have the Xh A1) Quick questions: If I want to film with a wide angle lens. Would it be better in your opinion to -mount a wide angle adapter on your lens or -buy a DOF adaptor and use a still photography les you happen to have. Also: is is possible to shoot with the A1 and (let's say) the Letus Economy without a expensive external HD monitor? Just by checking it on your A1 flip-out? If not, what would be the best lcd-screen? And do you need a followfocus or would a dop be able to do simple focussing with the lens-ring? Thank you in advance, Ivo van Aart |
