		<description><![CDATA[Test footage of my home built film noir device]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After I bought a Canon HD camcorder (HF100), I started reading about 35mm adapter enabling the use of SLR lenses on video cameras.</p>
<p><img src="http://machineboy.com/blog/wp-content/p-640-480-9f77526c-bae2-4361-b84c-5f7f33673988.jpeg" alt="Home made 35mm adapter" /></p>
<p>The solutions you can buy are very expensive, so I researched a DIY solution. I ended up making my own adapter from macro tubes and converters (ebay) and a ground glass and holder from <a href="http://www.gt35pro.blogspot.com/">http://www.gt35pro.blogspot.com/</a>. For all the parts I ended up paying around U$90.</p>
<p>The adapter is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth-of-field_adapter">non-vibrating one</a> but I&#8217;m pretty pleased with the image quality. The problem is that it vignettes very heavily, and I mean really <strong>heavily</strong>. The corners are really dark, which makes footage look very 8mm-ish. Bokeh is nice with the Canon 50mm f1.4. Also, when filming, the image is upside-down and mirrored, so it takes a while to get used to following action. Hand held filming with a 50mm lens is also pretty hard in itself, but it certainly makes the images different from normal video.</p>
<p>This footage is all hand held with no post, so forgive me for the shaky pictures and occationally (heh) out of focus stuff:</p>
