Have you ever been at a party, surrounded by people, yet you felt lonely? Have you ever taken it out on a loved one just to get their attention? Have you ever wanted to leave everything behind this instant and escape? This movie captures those feelings very well.
I worked on a camera project this past weekend. See how I am pretty invested into the Canon EF mount, and yet still have a lot of old Pentax K-mount lenses from when I used the K200D, I've finally bought an adaptor online to try to put Pentax lenses onto my Canon 5d Mark II. It is not a straight up process. Some disassembly of the lens is required to fit my full-frame EF mount camera. (EF-S doesn't require hacking) See this link for come picture tutorials (instructions in chinese) http://stevenlins.blogspot.com/2008/05/pentax-k-canon-ef.html
Each lens modification is slightly unique but totally manageable for a not so mechanically inclined person such as myself. I adapted 3 Pentax mount lenses to fit my 5D, and they are the DA 18-55mm kit (not full frame lens), 135 f/2.5 prime, and my prized 55mm f/1.2 prime.
It was a little intimidating to unscrew parts off a lens, but seeing how those particular ones don't cost very much, I learned a great deal taking them apart and putting them back together. Well, not the whole thing, but just the rear lens mount anyways.
Here is the Pentax DA 18-55mm Kit lens on my Canon 5D2. I had to modify it so it would shoot only wide open, otherwise, the aperture would spring to the smaller aperture.
@18mm (note the huge vignette since this is a APS-C lens on a Full-frame camera)
@55mm (at 55, much of the vignette is gone)
Here is the 135 f/2.5 and its DOF.
@135mm
And here is the covet 55mm f/1.2 and its lovely bokeh.
@55mm
Some larger photos to illustrate the lovely and huge f:1.2 aperture.
Having a really large aperture really makes what's in focus POP out of the photo. Look at the eyes on my dog Bonbon.
This guy, Randy George, is fucking talented! He is doing a cover of Daft Punk's Something About Us. It is kinda cheesy and amateurish, but just watch it, its fucking awesome! The instrument he plays at the end is called a theremin. Fuck I want one!
