Hola,
I started shooting a film in Inida on an HVX with a Century Optics wide angle adapter and the footage came out great.
However, my DP and I are now considering purchasing the Brevis adapter, and am looking for more information.
Can non-motion picture lenses be used with this adapter and how much of a drop off is there from still camera lenses versus motion picture lenses? Any footage out there with non-motion picture lenses with the Brevis/HVX we could see?
Does anyone have a huge preference on adapters -- Brevis versus M2 Redrock? Is there a particular rail system for the Brevis or any recommendations? Also, with shoulder mounts...?
And how expensive and where to suggest buying some non-motion picture lenses for the Brevis/HVX if they are indeed useable together.
Any and all information would be greatly appreciated as we are trying to find more information so as to use these lenses with an appropriate adapter and hopefully purchase lenses, and trying to figure out if it fits into our budget.
Thank you so much in advance...Sorry for the barrage of inquiries, but I am a newbie to the lense/adapter world.
Rock on,
JC
