SD ENG Lens on Sony F5
Posted: March 10th, 2014, 9:21 pm
Hi All
So i've had my F5 for a few weeks and love it to bits.
I'm after a bit of free advise. I am using the camera for high end broadcast and corporate work using hired in Primes. on a day to day use I film a lot of run and gun PR launches and lower end talking heads corporate as well as the odd wedding. For this work at the moment I use a Tamron 18-270 with an Optitek adaptor, however i'm not getting on will with it. So I am considering, a Canon J17 B4 with the MTF adaptor. I know that this is an SD lens but looking into it I know a few people who have used it with HD cameras such as the f900 and are very happy. I wonder if any else has experience using a SD ENG lens with the F5/F55 and would mind sharing their thoughts. Also I with the 2.5 magnification on the 7.6 I should get a good focal range?
PS: I would go for HD ENG lens but simply don't have the budget.
Many Thanks
Martin
