[Konvas] cine Lomos on EOS cameras

[colcam at aim.com]

 Too much loss was my opinion, too-- but if you need to use your 1500f11 for something far, far away, I doubt buying an EOS lens would be as cheap.

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...
