HV20, Vegas test at DVinfo.net

Kevin Saitta · October 30th, 2007, 04:06 PM

Well, I finally sat down with Vegas and some footage shot on the HV20 and decided to try my hand at putting something together.

Just thought I would share. I am new to all of this but in any case here it is.

And I thought my Kowa 6 was outdated.... Man, you got to get yourself a digital view camera.... :)

All in fun, Kevin.... so are you going to post the image ?

Kevin Saitta · October 30th, 2007, 04:22 PM

I haven't even developed the neg yet LOL! I been so caught in with playing with all this video gear! If it turns out I will post the print in here as soon as I print it!

Thank you again,

Kevin

Nice! I've only shot up to 4x5 -- I bet in 8x10 you'll be able to make out each individual paint particle. :)

Is that a Deardorff?

Hello Ben,

Yeah, I love shooting 8x10. It is actually a Deardorff!

Ben Syverson · November 6th, 2007, 12:53 AM

Sweet... You're a lucky guy. :)

Chris Barcellos · November 6th, 2007, 01:05 AM

Hmmmm... wondering if that 8x10 would make a heck of a depth of field adapter for the HV20....

Ben Syverson · November 6th, 2007, 12:30 PM

LOL -- well, you wouldn't have the grain problem, since each fleck on the GG would be too small to resolve even at 1080.

The real problem would be getting enough light into the video camera. Large format cameras have relatively slow lenses, making the ground glass quite dark. That's why LF photographers need a black cloth to see the screen while MF photographers can use their waist-level finders in broad daylight.

I never did own one, but I got to use a view camera for a short time in the early 70's. Know what you mean about the low light issues.
