  • Pro 35 stop loss

    So I am preparing to shoot a short film on the VariCam and was considering using the Pro 35mm adapter and was curious with the performance. I am really concerned about how many actual stops I will lose while using this adapter. If anyone else has any information please feel free to clue me in. Thanks.

    The light loss on the Pro-35 adapter is around 1/3 to 1/2 stop. With the Pro on the camera, the camera is around a 200 ASA. This is in the 3200 / Clear filter setting.

    Sorry, I’ve been busy for a few days. This adapter is incredible. The resolution and quality of glass that you can put on it is astounding. We’ve been able to put Panavision Primo Primes and Zooms on it, as well as ther older MK-2 Primes and Superzooms. Also tried out the Angenieux 10-1 HR Zoom. Just incredible. It’s great when the DP can select a lens size and not have to convert it in their head what the field of view will be, and how soft the background will be. The focus marks are accurate for your assistant to pull off of. And with the bracketry, you can use standard 15mm or 19mm MB and Follow focus.

    I don’t know how to post pictures, but if you’d like to see it, send me an email.
