[thatniggbeme7]

hi can u tell me the best settings for maintaining dslr footage quality. im being told its microsoft avi but im not too sure

[trackingtim]

May I ask which lenses you used for which shots?

[trackingtim]

Looks like 16mm. It's fantastic!

[mucalinda]

@PhilArntz Cheers.

[luciantrofin]

I have try this lens on a full frame 5D mk II and it only work with 16 mm . If you go down to 11 it will touch the mirror in the camera or something

[mucalinda]

@PhilArntz Actually I take back what I've just said I think you're right. I'm so used to cropping Primes in my head that I Cropped the Tokina also which is made specifically for CPS.

[mucalinda]

@PhilArntz I don't know what your point is. I know the Tokina lens is made for crop sensors: I've got one.

[applegirl1234]

You made this video so well, Really nice :) Not just the lense thats good, you are :)

How did you do the last part?

[TheTowelPaper]

whats the song? its very soothing which is perfect for a school project im woking on please?

[peregrinestudio]

superb demonstration of 2 cracking lenses

[mucalinda]

You can see a review on 'photozone.de/canon-eos/379-to­kina_1116_28_canon'. There is no vignetting, just the results are not as wide relatively to a full frame .

[mw5j1]

@mucalinda  Hi, thanks for the comment. If you tend to shoot at 12-14, why would get the canon 10-22 which is worse all around compared to the tokina ( even price wise)?

[mucalinda]

@mw5j1 Because I would shoot at 11 with the canon 10-22 (17 as compared to 19 in 35mm) for landscape and cityscape to prevent distortion. The 10-22 is a v good lens (a friend of mine has one) , better for getting unusual distortions of closeup on angles of buildings, angles on cars etc when used at the widest 10mm rather than the 11mm of the Tokina (16 as compared 18.2 in 35mm).They are both great lenses If I was shooting interiors or low light photography without a tripod I would go Tokina..

[mucalinda]

@mw5j1 Sorry, I forgot to say, the reason for the vignetting is not because of the Tokina lens itself, but because I usually use Cokin filters when shooting landscapes. Because the lens is so wide if the filters aren't on completely accurately it is very easy to lose the corners so I shorten the wide angle slightly and never have the problem.

@mucalinda

You know they do make the tokina for the aps-c sensor camera, therefore the 1.6 crop factor does not matter.

Great video though, I love BC!

[mucalinda]

@afcurry I might be wrong but I don't think so. Although the Tokina 11-16 f2.8 is made specifically for aps-c sensors, the crop factor still makes it the equivalent of an 17.6- 27 mm in a full frame camera. As far as I know the same lens with a different mounting is used for Nikon aps-c cameras which have a 1.4 crop factor making them the equivalent of 15.4-24mm in a full frame camera. You can read reviews of this lens which say just this.

[afcurry]

@mucalinda

I think you've got it backwards man, it wouldn't be cropped further on a full-frame, it'd be too wide to make full use of it ...this lense can only be used on a full frame camera above 15mm or else you'll have vignetting issues... It is designed for the 1.6 crop, therefore the 11-16mm is the true range. Where are these reviews you speak of? I don't own this lens, but I am planning on purchasing it very soon for my t2i, and from what I've read, it works as described

[mucalinda]

@afcurry I think we're talking at cross purposes here. You're quite right if you used this lens on a full frame camera you would get severe vignetting . But an 11mm lens designed for a full frame camera will give you exactly that : a very wide 11mm (in the old 35mm film terms). However, 11mm designed for a cropped camera will give you a less wide view (relatively). It will appear as though you had zoomed to 17mm on a full frame Canon camera or 15.5mm on a full frame Nikon camera.

[afcurry]

@mucalinda

Right, I gotcha now. I was thinking you were the guy who posted this video, but now I realize I am wrong...you aren't the one using a T2i, you were just putting it into perspective for full frame. I was just confused by what you said, thinking that you were referring to 11mm on a t2i really being 17mm!

[mucalinda]

@afcurry Relative to a full frame camera , 11mm on a T2i is 17mm. That's why when you're buying lenses you have to take the crop factor into account.. For example you'll often read that 105mm is the 'perfect' portrait lens or that 28mm is the 'best' prime lens for landscape etc (they are referencing to full frame). A 70mm lens designed for the T2i will give a result that looks 105mm full frame, an 18mm designed for T2i will give a result similar to 28mm full frame.

[mucalinda]

@afcurry PS There is a great review on this lens by Ken Rockwell  He gives good advice on filters etc. This is a very good lens, you won't be disappointed if you buy it. Another great lens (for the price) is the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 XR Di11 VC lens, it is very sharp and crystal clear shots.

[afcurry]

@mucalinda

Those are the exact two I'm getting actually ;). I was thinking non-VC for video work though for better clarity, its a decent amount cheaper too...but I need to do more research on this first.

Also, is it really 17mm on a T2i? I'm still confused why it wouldn't be 11mm if it's designed for the 1.6 crop. Isn't the point of that to compensate for the crop factor...where can I read up on this?

[mucalinda]

@afcurry I've left a message on your website explaining cropping in more detail. The same 11mm lens on a 1.6 crop camera would cut more than the exact same lens on a 1.4 crop camera. You wouldn't notice any difference in your own shots but if you compared them side by side one would have a wider shot than the other. They keep lens sizes standard (full frame reference) even though some are made for full frame and some for APS-C. The VC lens is better but costs more. Google both lens comparison.

[mucalinda]

@afcurry If you Google 'Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 VC lens review for video

by FStoppers ' he has something on VC for video. Believe me, the 11-16 Tokina is Very wide (even on crop), you won't be disappointed.

[BlackSupraC2]

did you add some sort of old film effect? if so where is it from? its very subtle and i really liked it.

[mw5j1]

@BlackSupraC2 I shot using a flat picture style ( saturation and sharpness turned down) and then graded suing magic bullet looks in premier pro.

[trackingtim]

@mw5j1 Did you just turn the saturation and sharpness down on the picture style or did you download a whole new picture style (e.g. Technicolor or Marvel)?

[mw5j1]

@BlackSupraC2  The dust is also from magic bullet.

[prejusapatrick]

Very beautiful. I'll definitely look into Tokina.

[sye005]

[daveclarke100]
