Adaptimax with 1000mm lens attached to Sony PMW-EX3

The moon shot with an Adaptimax and 170-500mm and 1000mm prime lens attached to a Sony PMW-EX3. The Adaptimax gives a magnification factor of X5.4 meaning the 1000mm prime turns into a 5400mm Lens!! The shimmering effect is caused by the filming the moon at a 45 degree angle through the earths atmosphere. More footage at adaptimax.com.

How much does this setup cost in total?

[SteveShovlar]

@Black7Cloud

Around £850 for the lens if you can find one, £235 for the Adaptimax adaptor and about £5500 for the camera. The zacuto rails and baseplate another £1000. Not too bad.

This lens cost me £800. I sold it last month for £1000 ( $1500) Cheap for what it is.

No it's a Sigma 1000mm Prime.

wow very beautiful! nicely done! If it wasn't for the shimmering it'd be perfect.

Shimmering caused by the earths atmosphere. That's a 5400mm lens for you. 1000mm Sigma prime, magnified X5.4 by the Adaptimax and PMW-EX3. A fantastic cheap way to get super telephoto video.

@cidscala Hey, I know exactly which one you are talking about and when I saw it I am now thinking about getting it for my canon t3i/600d. Have you tried it using the 3x digital zoom? Let me know! :D

AMAZING!

Do you know the brand OPTEKA? I bought a teleconverter 2X and a 500mm lens, both, for about US$130,00! I got a Canon EOS 600D. This equipments are not high end ones but the results and very low price x quality of the photos are very very interesting!
