Current image quality of the Bravis 35mm at DVinfo.net

Vincent Thomas · April 11th, 2007, 11:32 AM

I was seduced by everything but i'm still unsure about its image sharpeness... To be honest i have seen footage from the M2 with better sharpness..
As i know Dennis is also working hard on the current bravis system day after day, i was wondering if there is a huge difference now in term of image sharpness?

Could someone help me to make my choice...?

PS: I have already seen the Phil Bloom comparaison article.. and it's clearly show that..

Many thanks

This should probably be moved to the Alternative Imaging forum.

Brevis and Redrock are used so often by HVX users that it should remain on this forum. Lots of threads at DVXUser 's HVX forums about this.

I have directly compared a Brevis w/CF 1 and CF3 diffusers and with CF1 it is definately sharper and much faster though also more depth of field and not quite as diffuse and pretty . The CF3 is comparable.

Dennis' next adapter sounds like it may be sharper yet.

Sorry I meant to say that I've compared the Brevis and the M2 and the CF1 is was somewhat sharper for me. Proper set-up is really important to making these comparison's though and the one thing I would say for sure is that the Brevis is certainly not softer.

Philip Bloom admitted his tests were hasty and he was not sure how good the set-ups were. I believe he is currently using a Brevis, but I'm not sure.

They both look great.

Sharper than this?

Here's some HVX/M2 footage to compare sharpness.
