How do you set the aperture on a pentax 35mm film camera when using a Tamron lens?
Question by alicia b: How do you set the aperture on a pentax 35mm film camera when using a Tamron lens?
It’s a Pentax ZX-M and the lens is a Tamron 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6. I don’t know how to set the aperture. I’m trying to do shallow DOF and great DOF, but when I set the aperture and move the zoom, the aperture changes.
what else do you guys need to know?

Should you use zoom lenses for DSLR filming? -DSLR Film NOOB
www.dslrfilmnoob.com I don’t recommend using zoom lenses for filming unless the zoom covers a focal length that is hard to find or not available. Two such focal lengths are covered by the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 and the canon 16-35mm f2.8. I’ve already done a review on the tokina 11-16mm, but i thought it might be nice to compare the Canon 16-35mm f2.8 and the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8. The Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 is a budget zoom that you can pick up for around 0. http The Canon 16-35mm f2.8 is a ruffly twice that price: rcm.amazon.com The benefits of using a nicer Zoom can be seen in the full time manual focus, the longer travel of the focus ring, the stationary barrel, and the smooth operation of the zoom. These are all very nice to have but 0 in your pocket might help you forget about many of these short comings. Other zooms in my collection include the Tamron 28-75mm f2.8: rcm.amazon.com And the canon 24-70mm f2.8: rcm.amazon.com Although i don’t generally use these last 2 lenses for filming, they are great for photography. If you must use a Zoom lens for filming make sure it is a constant F-stop across all focal lengths or your lens will automatically stop down as you zoom causing unwanted color changes and dimming of your video image.

Canon 35mm f1.4 vs Sigma 30mm f1.4 head to head – DSLR FILM NOOB
www.dslrfilmnoob.com I often recommend the Sigma 30mm f1.4 as a good crop sensor camera lens for people on a budget. But how does it stack up against the Canon 35mm f1.4 lens. At around 00 to 00 new, the Canon 35mm f1.4 lens is a big investment, so much so, that I often recommend saving that money and buying 3 mid range primes instead. The Sigma 30mm f1.4 on the other hand runs about a 3rd the price at around 0. So is the price difference worth it? I think that depends on your mind set. The Canon 35mm f1.4 looked better (to me) in many of the shots as far as over all sharpness is concerned and the sigma 30mm f1.4 did have some slight vignetting in a few of the shots. But I guess the question remains, is the Canon 35mm f1.4 0 better then the sigma 30mm f1.4? I think you will probably have to vote with your dollar. Take a look at the footage and decide which lens works best for your budget.

Hi again! Earlier this year, I went to California in USA, and brought with me my Canon EOS 550D/rebel t2i. I didn’t want to carry around a lot of lenses on my vacation, so I borrowed my friends Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-4.5 with an image stabilization. I used only this lens for the whole trip, and it worked very well. For shooting documentations, vacation videos, travel videos and so, without spending to much money, the Canon 550D with a Sigma 18-200mm lens is perfect. I shot the whole video handheld, and since this lens has image stabilization, it prevented me from getting very shaky footage (unfortunately I forgot to turn it on sometimes in this video). And since it can shoot 18-200mm it’s great for shooting both tele shots and wide angle shots. I hope you enjoy the video, and don’t forget to subscribe and/or follow me at www.facebook.com =)
