But I'm concern with the crop factor thats associated with the 7d. From my research this can be an issue depending on the type of lens, because it can hinder the full potential of the lens. Can anyone assist me with a better insight on which would be a better lens for this particular model.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/wide-angle-attachments-mods#post-66124 Sat, 05 Mar 2011 19:42:20 +0000 Brian 66124@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Anyone try wide-angle attachments &amp; mods like the one discussed <a href="http://guidewired.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/kodak-zi8-mod-wide-angle-lens-w-macro-attachment/">here</a>?</p> <p>(<a href="http://guidewired.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/kodak-zi8-mod-wide-angle-lens-w-macro-attachment/">http://guidewired.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/kodak-zi8-mod-wide-angle-lens-w-macro-attachment/</a>)</p> <p>I'm thinking of getting one for my new Zi8 that's about to come soon.

This is definitely more for the Advanced Pro's, but I think any true 'Gear Geek' could spare a few centiliters of drool over the potential of this setup. It'll be nice to see what they shot with this rig!</p> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/7512055">Zacuto custom rig for Panavision + Canon 7D setup</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/zacuto">Zacuto USA, Steve Weiss</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/looking-for-an-adapter-ring#post-52596 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 10:24:04 +0000 M-323 52596@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>OK this would normally not be so difficult but in this case, it is.</p> <p>I have a household camera - Canon Zr500. Picked it up cause it was the only small camcorder I could find with an external mic port. </p> <p>I also have a Raynox HD-5000Pro wide angle lens. It comes with a bunch of adapter rings and it fit on several previous home camcorders I had before this except for my current Zr500.</p> <p>You would think Canon would know what the lens size is but noone there could tell me what the lens size is.</p> <p>In one case where I needed the wide angle, I resorted to cutting the carboard center from a toilet paper roll and modifying it to hold the lense to the camera with some tape.</p> <p><a href="http://s754.photobucket.com/albums/xx187/martial323/lens/?albumview=grid">I've posted some pics here</a> so you can see what were up against.<a href="http://s754.photobucket.com/albums/xx187/martial323/lens/?albumview=grid"><br /></a></p> <p>could anyone suggest how I could mate these two together? Is there any other type of adapter, besides a ring that would hold them together?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/manually-zooming-in-servo-mode#post-50708 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 13:56:01 +0000 NathanBlair 50708@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hey, I own a Panasonic AG-HVX200. Somebody asked me this today, and made me curious...</p> <p>With this camera, of course there is a manual zoom mode, which allows free movement of the zoom ring for quick snap-zooms. But also, when you set it to Servo, you are still able to manually zoom with the ring, it's just a little stiffer. The question is, does it harm the mechanics of the zoom lens to operate it by the ring when its set to Servo Zoom mode? </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/will-pointing-your-camera-at-the-sun-cause-damage#post-48957 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 13:45:43 +0000 neckbreakerb 48957@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Can someone help me answer a question?  I own the Sony FX7; and the instruction manual says that the camera should not be pointed directly at the sun, and that doing so can result in damage to the unit.  But lots of videos have shots of the sun in them.  In fact, videomaker's Tips and Tricks has an instructional video on shooting the sun.  Is there really a risk of damaging my camera?  If so, what needs to be done to prevent the damage?  Thanks!</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/canon-wide-converter-wd-58h-camcorder-lens-for-gl-xm#post-49059 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 05:29:43 +0000 bottenbay 49059@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>For Sale ON eBay.com:</p> <p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&amp;item=220449163926" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&amp;item=220449163926</a></p> <p>This Product Used only ONE TIME for a film project.<br />Like new</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/i-need-jvc-accesorieshelp-me-1#post-47025 Wed, 20 May 2009 12:02:19 +0000 mikevinckier93 47025@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> </p> <p> i need a fisheye wide angle lens, and a extra battery (prefer 5 hr.). its for my JVC GZ HD7. email me with anything please! </p> <p><a href="mailto:mikevinckier93@hotmail.com">mikevinckier93@hotmail.com</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/wide-angle-lens-need-help-circular-border#post-46108 Thu, 23 Apr 2009 20:36:39 +0000 RockstarRider 46108@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Does every wide qangle make like a circular border aound every camcorder...I know with the wide angle lens you get more view, but I feel im actually losing some parts of scenes because I can see the circular border that my wide angle lens makes...I have a 0.45x wide angle lens..</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/advanced-camera-suggestions-wanted#post-38360 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 05:03:00 +0000 NewbsNetwork 38360@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Greeting, all.</p> <p> I'm in the process of setting up a commercial production studio, and I'm looking for advice from other video producers on my choice for primary camera.</p> <p> I'm pretty much sold on the Sony PMW-EX3. However, I have to admit I don't know as much about Canon, JVC, or Panasonic's products as I should. The EX line gets so much press, it's hard to know what other comparable cameras I may be missing out on if I go that route. I know what features I want in a camera, but I'm not entirely sure which cameras (besides the EX1/3) will meet my needs.</p> <p>What I'm looking for:</p> <p>-1080/720 24/30/60p</p> <p>-3 chip (CMOS or CCD)</p> <p>-records to file (HD or card)</p> <p>-native FCP compatability (ie not AVCHD)</p> <p>-4:2:2 capable</p> <p>-XLR mic jacks with switchable +48V</p> <p>-manual focus/iris/zoom</p> <p>-priced under $10k</p> <p>Bonus points (but not required):</p> <p>-changeable glass</p> <p>-shoulder mountable</p> <p>Other than the EX3, are there any other cameras that fit those requirements that I should look into?</p> <p>Thanks in advance,</p> <p>-Jeff</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/lens-cleaner#post-36934 Wed, 28 May 2008 10:17:46 +0000 cadaver 36934@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>it might be a stupid question but can I use LCD cleaner for my camcorder lens</p> <p>thanks</p>
