Sony FS100 Lens Test

I decided to try various lenses in my camera bags out on the FS100. The camera was on automatic settings (except focus which was manual). I used picture profile 6 (default settings) since initially it look the best on the flip-out screen prior to beginning. I organized all of the video and text layers within After Effects but did not color correct any of the footage. Lenses: 1) Minolta 50mm f/1.7 MD 2) Nikon 50mm f/1.8D 3) Samyang 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 MD 4) Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 5) Sony 18-200mm f/3.6-6.3 kit lens As expected the Nikon and Sony lenses shine with good sharpness and contrast. The focus ring on the nikon 50mm lens is quite stiff, making it difficult to get a smooth focus effect. The stiffness can translate into audio noise during video playback too (audio not included in this upload). I was pleasantly suprised with the Minolta 50mm lens and will look into more MD lenses (fast MD primes are quite cheap on eBay). Another attractive feature of the MD lenses is the butter smooth focusing ring. Probably not suprising, but the the Samyang I felt was the weakest. Aterall, it was cheap glass when I bought it new in the early 90’s. While I recognize this is not very scientific and there are an infinite number of permutations that could be tried, it did help me calibrate my expectations moving forward (Samyang lens to remain in camera bag.).

Canon 18-55mm + Minolta 50mm

Found an old Minolta camera with a 50mm lens on it. Took off the lens and video taped the close up quality of the two lenses together.

Sony vg10 real world shoot using different lenses

I’m using the Sony vg 10 for a documentary I’m shooting in NYC. I have been using 3 lenses. Sony’s e mount 18-300, Sigma 10-50 2.8-4.5 OS a mount lens and Minolta 50mm 1.7 a mount both with Sony’s adapter. The 18-300 is ok for a kit lens. Produces good color. Auto focus is off at times. The Sigma is good also although manual focus. The in lens stabilization is a plus. I shot with it at 2.8.The Minolta 50mm 1.7 was by far the best. I shot with it at 2.0

A Nifty Trick From The Sony Alpha a33 [ DSLT-A33 Tested With Minolta F/1.7 50mm Prime Lens ]

What you’ll see here are two test videos with the same exact settings, only changes are the focus from Auto to Manual, exposure, lighting and the depth of field. If you want to try out this trick yourself, here is how to do it. 1. Set the camera to Manual Focus (the switch either on the base of the lens mount or on the lens itself). 2. Focus on where your subject will be. You can optionally invoke the Focus Magnifier function to do this. 3. Set your camera to “A” (Aperture Priority) mode and choose your f/stop via the front control dial. Record away! You will hear and see the f/stop of the lens close down when recording mode starts. When your camera starts to record video, it will also use the currently set white balance, creative styles, exposure lock, exposure compensation, AF area (if you’re autofocusing), and metering mode. So you still do have quite a bit of latitude to get your footage to look the way you want. You’ll notice a difference quickly in how your video looks, as I hope you’ll see the differences in my test clips. They may not be good, but it helps. And at least to my knowledge, this works with Picture mode as well, even though you have the ability to adjust the exposure in Picture mode.
