blown away. They couldn't believe it wasn't shot on film!"
How It Works
The adapter creates a 35mm image on the ground
glass located in the film plane of the 35mm lens you attach to it.
By creating a physical image inside the adapter, the natural control
over the depth of field, present in 35mm film format, is preserved
on your Mini DV tape. This true 35mm format image is then relayed onto
the camcorder's CCDs.
The adapter relay has its own iris to control
the amount of light through the system without affecting depth of field.
Defining the depth of field is usually achieved by setting the aperture
of the film lens. Adjust the iris on the adapter to control independently
the amount of light through the system. This feature of the Mini 35
Digital adapter gives you a new creative freedom not available on a
standard camera setup.
In addition, the angle of view of the lens is
preserved. For example, a 25mm film lens remains wide angle when it
is used on this system.
