movietube (35mm-like depth of field)

[romeojesus]

I´ve been doing some research
on these 35mm "depth of field" adaptors
like the movietube or the p+s pro35mm
wondering how it would be like to
use them in combination with a super8 camera

now I found this small version
of the movietube:

I wish I had 300$ at hand right now, but I am broke

[romeojesus]

uups 300$ is just the deposit
for making a reservation
final price is about 4500

anyway I would really like to see some super8
footage shot thru one of those things

Ended up making one of these out of various parts for my video camera back in the fall. It's similar to the Letus35.
Couldn't afford the P+S version by a long shot.

Still needs some tweeking though.

Here is a link with a pic from an earlier post.
I have since bought 2 more primes.
A 28mm f/2.8 and a 100mm f/2.8

hmm, looks like you went for a static ground glass approach?
if so did you make one yourself of did you use a SLR focus screen?
i'd be interested to see a few short fullsize clips because i just started reasearching diy adapters for an upcoming project and the main decision is to go for static or spinning.

Just on my way out.
I'll put up a high res clip tomorrow.

It is indeed a static Ground glass. The focus screen is that of a Nikon F3 type D. I don't have the means of making a rotating or vibrating one.
The screen is noticable in this shot but more difficult to see in dimmer more diffused environments.
Here is a full res clip. 3 seconds long at 10MB.

thanks, looking nice...
i have a F3 focus screen as well as an pentacon with a groung glas without markings, so i might try this route too (although a spinning CD sound like fun ;)

I was thinking I would modify my static adapter and attatch a small motor to the polafilter that holds the GG to make it spin.
Have not tried it yet but will.

that's probably not terribly useful since the center will remain static.. it's also going to be quite noisy if you want to make it spin fast enough.
