"A Walk in the Park" - Test Footage [HD] Jag35st + HV30

Why is it that people always test out their cameras on nature shots? haha maybe because everything in nature already looks really nice anyway :P

Just some simple test shots from a short while back when I purchased the Jag35st static adapter for my video camera and was just getting used to filming with it. It's a really cool little gadget at a decent price.

did you use an achromat or macro?

[GoodPointmedia]

i didnt use either, i believe i just zoomed a bit and used the widest aperture

does the achromat help significantly?

[heshmuffinsvideo]

Thats the reason I am asking, I am interested in getting a Jag for my HV40 and I was wondering if there would be too much vig without an achromat. What the achromat does is reduces vig and also reduces chromatic aberation.

[GoodPointmedia]

yeah i've previously thought of buying an achromat but what kept me from from purchasing it was that even with the great abilities of a 35mm adapter, it's still not autofocus so i was considering buying a dslr with hd video...

what do you think?

interlacing

Ok Thanks a bunch!

Just a really simple tip I found to be tremendously helpful myself: I realized that putting a piece of tape over the focus adjustment wheel helped avoid so much trouble

especially with the hv30 i use, my finger kept undoing the focus calibration you have to do with the jag adapter.

hopefully it'll save you some trouble as well :)
