[ShaRieVAScorp]

[chance1234567890]

How does the lens get dirty?? or does that jus naturally happen?

and if u have enough lighting will the viegnette effect go away

[8bennugent]

[robertkrisp]

hahaha jag-offers

[OllieFirrell]

cheers dude x

[PureLightWorks]

how old is this kid?? nice!

[munit1954]

O.K., if you like vignetting in all of your footage. It's pretty prominant in your test footage.

[robblac]

i dont like your face..it offends me..

[ClankyRochet]

Hey dude I just watch another video about jag 35mm pro adaptor and that dude was saying that when you use the lens adaptor it will make your video up side down. Is this true and how do you suppose to film.

[Jabania]

smart kid

[316Lunatics]

the after fottage was that with just the adapter or adapter and a lens?

[filmtipsandtutorials]

@316Lunatics The whole point of a 35mm adapter is so you can use SLR lenses on your camcorder. It would be useless without a lens. To answer your question, YES, the after was shot with the adapter and lens.

[316Lunatics]

@filmtipsandtutorials Sweet thx... could you let me know what lens it was

[filmtipsandtutorials]

@316Lunatics Canon 50mm 1.8 FD

[pilot7am]

does achromat to gets rid of the vignetting ? plus i am subscribing

[asiatrend]

I read from other 35mm adapter review. Some model will upside down the images when it put the 35mm lens on. Will this Jag35ST have this happen? I check the Jap35Pro model seems to be have no this problems. But that model produced a motor notice....

[mogulkey]

Ok i got a question on Jag35, they have a product called the Jag35 pro. I was wondering if this could just screw on to the front of my HV40 and it also includes a nikon or canon 50mm lens. Does this lens do the pull focus thing where you can focus on something close then move to a distant object? Please respond.

[puppylover205]

wow some 1 hit puberty XD

[BrooksBarry27]

is the JAG35st compatible with the sanyo Vpc-Fh1?

[brucesauls]

if you have an autofocus 35mm lens, is there any way to power it so you can use the autofocus, or does that involve the SLR camera? I suspect the autofocus control brain is in the 35mm camera. It would be really cool if you could somehow route the HV30 autofocus signal to focus the 35mm lens instead of the HV30 lens (which has to be locked on the ground glass). Maybe jag35 could talk to Canon?

[JobakComedy]

I've ordered one for our videos, I will post a video response as soon as we make our footage with it, looks very promising. Thanks dude!

[patrickmtneal]

Sweet!!! I'm buying one now!! Thanks for the help!!!

[eSKoeun]

huge mistake in your review. jag35 also have nikon mounts. not just canon.

[NickandCharlieShorts]

also, what cameras can u use this with?

[NickandCharlieShorts]

can u guys please pm me on how to export hd videos, u guys have really good quality, and when i try exporting mine, it is crap. help

[iMatt95]

do you need an achromat?

[mrhevi]

Does the JAG35 filp the picture upside down?

[toms900]

yes you have to flip it back in post

[Tinuserviceline]

yup

[Alvinwhatup2]

yep, but you get used to it :)

[tommyminerva]

cool vid, what camera are you shooting with?

[linkmaster112233]

what lens are you shooting through?

[filmtipsandtutorials]

Canon 50mm 1.8

[treenut22]

what is the achromat for? and do i need it with the HF20?

[treenut22]

@filmtipsandtutorials whats the achromat do? and do i need it

[BGIFilms]

Where did you get your 35mm lens, and how much was it. Thanks

[MajicPictures]

the lens is from Jag35 , this one would have been around $100USD. They aren't the best, however. this kid does a good review of the product considering his knowledge of film..but f you have some more experience and understand lenses (not to mention when a shallow DOF is useful) you'll find this product a bad purchase (to say the least). your apperture's are extremely limited, you need to shoot in great light conditions without over-exposing your shots etc etc etc etc. not worth the money

[BGIFilms]

Do you think that DOF adapters are worth the money at all, or just this one? Also, without a professional camcorder, shot options are limited without manual focus.

[MajicPictures]

honestly, they aren't worth the money. yes, as the kid explains..they will achieve the "film look"..however..they don't really achieve this look. they're extremely limiting, and don't give you the advantages to film. the people who tend to think these are great additions/features to your camera are those with little to no knowledge of what DOF is used for, or what the "film look" even means.

my personal advice is to invest in rental equipment (either Red's or the ARRID21).

[BGIFilms]

Thanks. Have you had any experience with these 35mm adapters? What camera do you use?

[MajicPictures]

no problem. i've used the jag and the letus. the letus is pretty much the best on the market..and is only $1500 for a basic model. still not a big advnatage. i own a Canon HG10, but i've shot on high end Canon's and Sony's, the ArriFlex D21, and the Red One.

[gjhj786997jhgf]

u r so ugly

[hitm4n04]

letus 35> jag35

[WhitestKidsAtCompton]

ya but price

letus 35> jag 35

[B0w3ry]

i dont even know what you are black or asian

[amigoamericas]

would i be able to get rid of the black blurryness on the outer edges?

[filmtipsandtutorials]

Just zoom in a little bit more!

:-P

[kothikothikothi]

does jag35st suits to panasonic hdc-sd100 camcorder..then what lens i shud use for it for better output...please help me.

[Bertziethegreat]

How does the jag35 compare to the twoneil?

[filmtipsandtutorials]

I personally, feel that it is way more superior because you have more options as far as the Jag35 goes. With the twoneil, you can only use Nikon lenses. For Jag, you can use Canon Ef, Canon FD, and nikon. I'm not 100% sure with the twoneil, but Jag35 also lets you use multiple thread sized adapters, so it can fit onto your camera without the hassle of buying step-up and step-down rings. Also as far as price goes, you can't go wrong with a $99 static adapter vs. a $199 static adapter.

-Luca

[imster]

Few questions if you don't mind:

The adapter you have came with an achromat?

what lens are you using here?

And obviously the 'after' footage is color corrected right?

[V4UVideoForYou]

So I can not put this lens on my AG-HMC70?

[filmtipsandtutorials]

The lens or the adapter?

[V4UVideoForYou]

Sorry I meant adapter (This is my other account)

[lightmydank]

you said the product that jag offers lol....jagoffers

[kuunami]

did you use just the jag35 and the camera to get that look or did you have to attach another lens to the jag35?

[filmtipsandtutorials]

A 35mm Adapter's purpose is to allow you to attach prime lenses to your camcorder. The only way for the Jag35 to work, is to attach a lens to it.

:-)

[kuunami]

Oh I understand now. What lens would you recommend to use with it?

[filmtipsandtutorials]

I use a JAG35st with a canon FD 1.8 50mm

[kuunami]

I have a canon hv20, I just ordered a jag35st and a nikon 50mm 1.8. What did you do about the flip problem? I'm looking for a solution other than the flip hack although I might have the jag35 guys do it if I don't find another way around it.

[filmtipsandtutorials]

NO!!!! You have to give back the nikon lens! As i said in the review, the jag35st only takes CANON FD lenses.

[kuunami]

Are you sure? The website gives an option for a Nikon Mount.

[filmtipsandtutorials]

Well if you got a nikon adapter, then you should be fine. Haha. Anyways, there is an old mirror trick. Try googling Flip35. Its pretty cheap to make.

[kuunami]

sounds good. I'll check out the flip35 too. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question too bro, you've been really helpful and you've got yourself a new subscriber.

[MajicPictures]

great review, it actually made me decide against the product (but i thank you for that haha). i notice that it gives a decent DOF, but is extremely limited based on the tests. it looks less like 35mm film stock and more like film stock shot out of focus. i know that dof (in a sense) is about bringing things in and out of focus as desired, but with one focal length - this becomes more limiting than helpful.

dof can also be achieved easily in final cut

thanks for the review! keep it up

[NEWSTREAMSTUDIOS]

The jag 35 is great! Always been a fan. Just a tip you need to zoom in a bit moire as theres some vignetting. But good review!

[benZZZgomeZZZ]

sometimes people leave a bit of the vignettin showin. gives the movie an extra special effect.

[NEWSTREAMSTUDIOS]

Yeah I know what you mean! but we've alll been there its a common mistake with people who start with them.

[nitronixasd]

Ive already commented on this video! Where is the comment and why is this video back in my unwatched subs again? Youtube has suddenly got pants again! Still got 3 messages but Ive deleted them! Was this video reposted?

[filmtipsandtutorials]

Haha, no sorry, thats really weird!

:-P

[Sonnytutorials]

JAG at swedish is JAG---me

[Snik3rsRul3]

Around 2:04 you look like the guy from green day

[wondnaereh]

I own one. Did you get a discount for doing this review?

[mgphproductions]

Great Show ,will you tell me what i need to fix about my shows

[zachmanZM]

Dude I was thinking of getting this! the review really helped!

[PJBproductions]

looks pretty awesome man

[Molinkintov]

static adapter shows all the dust on the lens. a big con.

[filmtipsandtutorials]

If you know how to clean it, it should be fine

:-)

[redsox42311]

being static it only has one focal length correct?

[swetrich]

did u get paid to do this

u said the dang name like every 2 seconds

it did do a good job tho

[Panicumbrella]

same thing went through my mind

[filmtipsandtutorials]

no we did not get paid to do this, we are just praising the product and really want people to check them out because they are a great company for low budget filmmakers

[lightmydank]

so do u recommend the vibrating one? I was asking because there r a lot of other diy adapters on the market as well...have u heard of the twoneils? How does this one match up? Thx.

[0riginalSam]

the closeup of that kid is just really wierd. He should be in a magazine lol gr8 videoooo 5*

[FotoShopped]

Awesome!! I'm gonna check into this when I get my HV40!
