First DOF Test

This is my first test of my homemade Depth of Field adaptor around Central Wellington, NZ. It is done on my little Sony HDR-CX100, with a Canon EF 50mm f1.8 on the end, not my ideal setup, but just a quick test, and nice and lite to take around town. Unfortunately I have only been able to find a Minolta Type L Focus Screen, which has grid lines, but im going to order either a Nikon or Canon one soon. Im also having a few issues with the rotatable CPL filter moving around, so am constructing a way to hold that in place. But all in all went pretty good, will post more videos on progress later on.

Wait? What's with the lines?

Can you get rid of that?

As described in the info the grid lines are caused by the focus screen that I used. I now how a Canon EG-A focus screen without grid lines

You will definitely need a DOF adaptor to achieve this sort of thing, i found it a great little camera for testing this sort of stuff, but needed something with a better mic and mic inputs! My DOF adaptor cost me around $300 NZD to build, which would work out to around $150 USD. Start by going to Daniels GG-Holder website, sorry don't have the URL handy, but try google it and should come up. If you don't want to build your own I think that website sells them for about $500 USD
