Camera Lens Bolex
Advice on using a Bolex 16mm camera?
I'm shooting a short silent film with the people of this summer school, and I'm trying to decide my best options for making a good looking film. I'd like to shoot in color, and I like to use my Canon FD lenses that I own. I know there an adapter so you can use FD lenses on C mount cameras. I did a test with the goal that gave the camera, and was not satisfied with the look. Should I go with a reflection or reflection-H16? What kind of movie that would be better for shooting indoors, with natural light during the day? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
If you will be still using C-mount lens adapters have the version of reflection, other wise you have to make a connection resource to ensure that every shot is correct. Remember that silent film was shot at 18 fps, not 24 fps.
