Hi everyone,
Welcome to this video about my fujinon tv zoom lens. I've had this lens for about 2 years but never used it until now. I plan to use this in films, weddings and content creation because it's absolutely WILD!

I got a B4 lens for my BMCC 2.5K a few years ago but it didn't come with a doubler and the vinetting is pretty obvious. After watching your video I thought to look up if they sold them seperately but I found someone who's done pretty much the exact same thing as I want to do with a 1.4x teleconverter! It never occurred to me to try one of those, haha! Thanks for the inspiration/getting me to look deeper into it!

Ahhh thats a good idea! I'm going to pin this for others to see. Thank you

Just an FYI from someone who has tried it all and done the A/B testing, the built in doubler within lenses actually offers some optical correction. Whereas an external teleconverter does not. You will still have a heap of spherical aberrations with a external teleconverter. Optical correction is key to getting a useful image out of a converted 2/3" B4 lens, whether that is a 50% correction from the doubler or a 99% optical correction correction from a correcting adapter. If you need additional resources on adapting B4 lenses, it's kinda what I do ✌️😊

@jamesandcamera 11 күн бұрын

@@renbymon yeah reflex mounts like EF and PL are tricky as there are very few optical corrective adapters available in reflex mounts that do a good job at correcting the spherical aberations. I usually recommend people get a mirrorless mount camera if they are looking to get any sort of good image quality performance from adapting 2/3" B4 lenses

@@Altcine The doubler reduces it a lot, but it is responsible for a lot of the haloing/ghosting when at maximum aperture and would improve the image performance. It is why though most adapters don't bother to make this more complicated image correction and only are a doubler/tripler.

The z6iii does 6k60 no crop / 4k120 crop with sub 10 ms rolling shutter and 13-14 dr with nr while capturing internal raw, and the a7s4 is using the same setup. The nikon z50/z80 is reportedly coming with a stacked 20mp 4k60 and the zve10ii is launchinf next month for 800$ and 4k60 with ibis ( budget a67/fx30 basically ) The a7v is also coming with a stacked 33mp and prob 7k60.
