For Photography work, I am using a Nikon D800 to please my clients, as they often print big from the pictures I had done for their website at first. They need high resolution and they always prefer the photographer they hired, handling a big camera. In many people mind, bigger is still more professional. For my personal photography enjoyment, I fall in love with a camera which had never been considered as exciting by usual reviewer: Nikon1 V1. I bought it new for 200 USD or so in 2013. My interest in this camera started after trying a collection of old C-mount lenses with some of them designed for 16mm film camera. Most of those lenses were too tight to cover the M43 sensor (huge vignetting going on) , but they perfectly match with the CX format of the Nikon1. For those who don't know: FX = 2 x M43, FX = 2.7 x CX (in term of cropping factor) Nikon1 V1 sensor (10 millions pixels Alpina) delivers "film like" colors, contrast, noise and sharpness. I know what I am speaking about as I started my career in professional Photography back to 1986.

You can go and visit my webpage blog post and my flickr album to have an idea of the result of combining a Nikon1 V1 camera with this set of lenses:

  • Cine-Nikkor 6.5mm f1.8
  • Cine-Nikkor 13mm f1.8
  • Cine-Nikkor 50mm f1.8
  • Angenieux 25mm f0.95
  • Tamron 25mm f1.6
  • Manual Focus and Manual Exposure (confirmed by Histogram after test shots)

I am planning to shoot a vintage looking short film with this camera soon or later to take benefit of my set of lenses.

Selling some lenses that I don't wanna let go of, but I think it's time I parted ways. Up for grabs are 3 lenses in excellent but used condition -- meaning the housing may show sings of normal wear, but the optics are clean of haze, scratches or fungus. Focus rings are smooth and all have ziptie focus rings on them. The apertures have been de-clicked, too. All lenses are AIS. Pics coming soon.

35mm -- $200 OBO 50mm -- $150 OBO 85mm -- $250 OBO

All three for $550.

Paypal shipping to confirmed addresses only. Will sell as group or separate.

FS: Nikkor AI Prime Set + FF Gears $300 http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/13663/fs-nikkor-ai-prime-set-ff-gears-300 Sun, 06 Sep 2015 10:12:27 +0000 InnerSpark 13663@/talks/discussions Hey guys, I'm using my Sigma Arts full time, and now that I've parted with my SLR Magic Anamorphot, I'm going to be parting with my backup set of Nikkor Primes, as I just use the Sigma Arts for everything now. This is an EXCELLENT starter set of primes for the necessary focal lengths.

I primarily kept these lenses around because they were the only 3 that worked very well with the BMCC + Speed Booster + Anamorphot combo. So if that 1.33x anamorphic combo is important to you, then these lenses are ideal for ANA shooting.

They are the 35mm f2 AI, 50mm f1.8 AI, and 85mm F2 AI, they are in excellent optical condition, with the 85mm having tiny tiny, hairline cleaning marks. Absolutely no fungus and haze, come with front/rear caps and the very excellent helicoptersean for the 35 and 50. I don't have one for the 85, but sean can hook you up no problem. The AI lenses have the same optics as AIS, which are excellent, but longer focus throw, and with the expanded diameters on the gears, the throw is very very long.

I would like to move them as a bundle, and will be dropping the price as a whole to move them. $300 for the whole set (The 85mm goes for $200 itself) plus the focus gears for free. Shipping is gonna be low or split depending on where you are in the world. Will ship worldwide.

Paypal please, so PM me or email me at innersparkfilms@gmail.com if you're interested or have any questions! Thanks guys!

NEX-7 vs GH2 comparison http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/5342/nex-7-vs-gh2-comparison Sat, 01 Dec 2012 10:38:22 +0000 tetakpatak 5342@/talks/discussions Originally, when I bought the NEX-7 I had entirely still photography in my mind. Its mighty APS-C sensor (24MP) is capable of creating fantastic photos. Considering its video recording capability, I haven't expected anything remarkable. Although, it is quite interesting- I've made this test footage last week and compared it with the GH2, which is (especially here on the P-V site) very well-known to most of the visitors:

Test footage details:
The choice of lenses was done very carefully. Considering different crops of the APS-C and micro-four-thirds sensors (1,5x vs 1,86x recpectivelly) I've used the lenses that have similar view angle, same speed and extremely similar optical performance. All lenses had proper lens hood at all times. The aperture was most of the time stopped down for one step (day at f/4.0, night at f/2.8) except in very dark scenes, where both Nikkors had fully open diaphragm. In the NEX-7 there is no possibility of shooting in 24fps mode so I set it to 25fps and adjusted the GH2 to HBR and 25fps.

NEX-7 with stock firmware (PAL) // GH2 with the patch Cake 2.3 by @balazer
AVCHD 25fps 1080 // AVCHD HBR 25fps 1080
The GH2 camera files were quite exactly double-sized compared to the NEX-7

Daylight footage settings:
Lens: Canon FD 35/2.8 // FD 24/2.8
Lens aperture: (always) 4.0, no filters
Crop: 1.5x35=52,5mm equivalent // 1.86x24=44,6mm equivalent
ISO: 200 // 200 (always)
AWB // AWB
EV 0.0 // 0.0
Metering: multi // frame+center
Colors progr.: standard // standard
In-camera setting: default // default (0,0,0,0)
Mode: aperture priority (both)

Night footage settings:
Lens: Nikkor 35/2.0 Ai // Nikkor 28/2.0 Ai
Crop: 1.5x35=52,5mm equivalent // 1.86x28=52,1mm equivalent
Lens aperture: 2.0-2.8
ISO: 1600-1600
AWB // AWB (one take manually set to 2500K both)
EV: at first 0.0 both, later -0.3 / +0.7
Metering: multi // field+center
Colors progr.: standard // standard
In-camera setting: default-default (0,0,0,0)
Mode: manual (both)

Comments and bit of my subjective impressions:

Exposure: by default settings (EV 0.0), NEX-7 tends to overexpose EV+2/3, GH2 to underexpose EV-2/3
Colors: NEX-7 tends to reddish, GH2 to greenish colors. The NEX-7 has possibility of adjusting the color tones for every color mode, also for AWB.
White balance: NEX-7 is capable of getting much cooler AWB, extremely weird situation occurs at 2m45" when the WB in both cameras was set manually to 2500K
Moiré: two tipical situations by 1m40" but generally, the NEX-7 has obviously less moiré
ISO: NEX-7 has feature of changing the ISO sensitivity during the recording, the GH3 offers this but GH2 and GH1 not. In the daylight ISO was set manually to 200, in the night to 1600 in both cameras.
Sharpness: I was expecting clear winner GH2 and much worse NEX-7. Yet, the result is very similar. Please mind that in one scene I forgot to focus the lens (by 2m35") mounted to the NEX-7
Contrasts: in all test situations the NEX-7 shows more details in the shadows, but it would need bit more testing because of the camera's propensity to overexpose what I didn't notice at first.

The NEX-7 is even smaller than GH1 or GH2 and it has bigger sensor.... I like its concept, very minimalistic- pure idea of the "mirrorlessity". Its big advantage is the still photography, such a comparison wouldn't make much sence because it simply blows off not only the GH2 but even most of the DSLRs with APS-C sensor.... it's newer generation. The big drawback of the NEX-7 considering its video functionality is its sensor overheating. On the room temperature, some 20min are maximum one can expect, regardless if the display is lifted or left in its position. I am kind of very pleased to see that the NEX-7 renders the shadows very smooth and in cinematic spirit, with lots of details. It is a feature that we are struggling to get with our GHx cameras. This cinematic image gets more obvious by using a bit less sharp lenses than Canon FD or Nikkor that I used in this test.

Music video on GH2 (FlowMotion) http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/11588/music-video-on-gh2-flowmotion Sat, 18 Oct 2014 14:41:17 +0000 hempo22 11588@/talks/discussions My director's cut of a music video I did last year. The artist ran me over completely in post and the official video is (in my opinion) at best at the level of a rough cut, she didn't even want color correction. VFX was also out the window.

So here is my intended version of the video that we agreed upon. Shot on GH2 with Flowmotion and Nikkor AI and AI-S lenses, edited in FCPX and graded in Resolve.

Nikkor Prime Lenses Cine Gears & adapters for video GH2 Cannon BMC etc http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/7603/nikkor-prime-lenses-cine-gears-adapters-for-video-gh2-cannon-bmc-etc Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:15:41 +0000 Albi 7603@/talks/discussions I have been using these manual focus primes on a DSLR with very cinematic results. I have installed focus rings which makes them usable with a follow focus. They are made by cinematics. Selling as a set with a MFT adapter and EF adapter.

1x Nikkor 24mm AIS F2 s/n 202338 1x Nikkor 35mm F2.8 AI s/n 425490 1x Nikkor 50mm F1.8 AIS s/n 3201608

I have been keeping them in a hard peli case which is not included in sale unless someone really wants it I can work out its cost.

Price E800 OVNO including 3 cine gears, front and back caps, AI-MFT adapter (for GH2 AF100, BMC etc) and AI-EF adapter (for Cannon cameras or BMC)

I have worked out prices based on the cost of these lenses currently on ebay less shipping and taxes of course. There is also a small charge for the adapters and Cine Gears but again no shipping or waiting on delivery - the cine gears took nearly 3 weeks to get here!! I tghink the set is priced fairly and to sell.imageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimage

Speed Booster or Native MFT Lenses? http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/10049/speed-booster-or-native-mft-lenses Thu, 03 Apr 2014 15:01:04 +0000 Kokav 10049@/talks/discussions I have a GH2. I primarily do video. I have three native MFT lenses: Panasonic 25mm f/1.4, 14mm f/2.5, and 14-140mm f/4.0-5.6. I have done a lot of searching about the Metabones Speed Booster but want some confirmation if I should go ahead and get one. I really like Nikkor AIS lenses and am wondering if it would be wise to invest in a set of AIS lenses (and possibly some others) and a Speed Booster rather than more native MFT glass.

The reasons I want the Speed Booster are pretty obvious: extra stop of light, wider viewing angle... But I want to know if it's really worth it. Will it actually make my lenses look better? I really want to know what the downsides are. Are there GH2/3 shooters who use the Speed Booster exclusively?

I'd really appreciate any pointers or discussion on this.

2012 is drawing to a close. I'm right now trying to optimize my workflow and sell a few pieces of equipment I don't necessarily need anymore.

All three lenses were bought at the beginning of this year and were only used a couple of times on pretty small projects.

They are built like tanks and offer absolutely lovely bokeh. Focus is really, really smooth. I seriously recommend them.

Perfectly fitting Half Inch Rails gears included. (Best lens gear in my opinion, nice and simple)

Nikkor AI 24mm f/2.0

Nikon 35/1.4 and 85/1.8 AI'D for sale http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/4239/nikon-351.4-and-851.8-aid-for-sale Mon, 13 Aug 2012 21:28:36 +0000 ISO1600 4239@/talks/discussions Two great old lenses for sale. These lenses are both 100% legit- only reason i'm selling is just sold my 5DII and got a OM-D. I need M4/3 lenses. Looking to get cash (via paypal) or possibly trade for Panasonic glass (14, 20, 25). Check my feedback on fredmiranda: http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/feedback/75096 or on ebay under user "180s13".

35/1.4: legendary lens. Amazing build quality. ALL metal- even the glass is metal! (j/k). This is the old pre-AI version, with factory/nikon AI conversion on it- so it will work on any modern nikon camera that can handle AI lenses. Focus is very well dampened, and a LONG throw. This would be good for video. 9 Aperture blades. The only thing keeping me from rating this a 9+ is i trimmed the baffle/shroud in the rear of the lens so that i could mount it on my 5DII. Caps included. Looking to get $225(net) for this sucker. Can include Fotodiox Pro NF-EF adapter.

85/1.8: Another awesome lens. Bokeh machine. Tons of character. This one isn't as in as good of shape as the 35, it has some wear on the barrel/focusing ring. Has been AI converted by the excellent Jim White (AIconversions.com). Caps included. Looking to get $200(net) for this guy. Can include Fotodiox Pro NF-EF adapter.
