Kogi BBQ Truck Night out with a Canon T2i 550D DSLR & 50mm prime lens F1.2

Kogi BBQ Truck Night out with a Canon T2i 550D DSLR & 50mm prime lens F1.2 Out with my bother Tom Mackel of http://www.engagemarket.com, Testing out the new camera. NO added lighting, this was all natural with the lens wide open. Follow me on Twitter @RealtorTed

I have a Canon HV 30 with a JAG 35 Static DOF adapter, This new Canon really gives me the budget and the ability to step up my game. I shot this all hand held with no accessories. I few pieces from Zacuto and this camera will sing. The lens is a big part of the puzzle and that costs more than the body.

holy crap that camera quality looks unreal. was it really expensive?

[tedmackel]

@jualkyn No that is the CanonT2i. the lens is the expensive part. Lens cost twice the body.

[tedmackel]

@jualkyn The Canon T2i body is approx $800. The lens on this camera is double that. I could have come close to the same look with a lens that is in the $500 range, but that 1.2 is the way to go if you can swing it.

@tedmackel HOLY CRAP. Wow that is expensive but I guess you really do get what you pay for. I have never seen a camera with this level of picture/filming quality b4 that wasn't basically from a movie.

[tedmackel]

@jualkyn The Expense is relative...The Body on the T21 and the 60D is a bargain. I bought the first generation Digital Rebel in 2003 for $1100.00 Now to shoot video this quality with just a few more bucks with a quality lens is really incredible.

@jualkyn 550d body is like 500 lens is about 1000 ;)

[tedmackel]

@Musicery It's on the credits on video.

@kvnyng Yeah I just realized that sounds counter-intuitive. The lower the number the farther the aperture opens which is referred as a fast/faster lens. The faster the lens, the bigger the glass/optics, the more the cost.

[kvnyng]

when you say "wide open" do you mean like an aperature of F1.2 like you said.

And is "Smaller Aperature" mean something like F 3.5?

Thanks
