[Konvas] cine Lomos on EOS cameras

[Light Collision]

I have not shot B&W yet with the 7D but you got me interested. I will have to give it a shot.

Yes, there are optical adapters for the FD lenses but I don't think they are really worth it. The extra element to correct the flange distance has to have some impact on image quality and light sensitivity. This and the price makes the FD lenses less attractive. Might as well go with EF glass. An optical adapter for the Lomos or PL would be the same. Light and image quality loos most likely. Optical adapters are too much of a compromise in my opinion.

Interesting... I wonder if anyone can make one for the LOMOs?

Also - You can set your Canon up for cine style shooting in camera. Just go into the menu and adjust the saturation, contrast, sharpness, and color tones. Of course, it's probably gonna be different than an actual lens, but it's better than nothing.

Shot a little B&W last week - both high-contrast, normal, and low-contrast (all in camera adjustments). It also has an orange (as well as green, yellow and red) filter setting in the camera for B&W. I tested with an actual orange filter and with the orange filter setting. The in camera setting looked a little different, but good enough that I don't think I'll bother carrying a filter set...

BTW: Have a f1.8, 50mm Pentacon lens on the front of my Canon right now. Which makes this camera great for ultra-low light; I'm getting shots you'd not believe. It's pretty grainy, but if you go into the menu deep enough, you can set the camera to a 12,800 ISO...
