Canon T1i Hack (Sort of)

This is video shot with my T1i using an old Pentacon lens and an ebay adapter. Using an older style lens allows you to stop down the aperature on the lens manually to and forces the camera to adjust the ISO to get the appropriate exposure. Perhaps this doesnt qualify as a hack but it's a fun workaround.

I also use an adapter with an old rikenon f1.7 50mm for video, but another free easy way is to set the apurature in manual mode, then slightly disconnect the lens then switch to movie mode!

Thanks. This was a very useful video. I have lots of old Pentax Takumar lens. I didn't know that there were adapters for such lens. Please give me more details. Thanks, again.
