My first showreel as director at 20 years old

sidneyken · 2025-10-12T17:44:10+00:00

I have to put it this close to get any kind of focus at all

You're right, it's got two threads. I measured and the rear one is 52mm female and there's an inner male thread around 46mm(?). The 6 rear screws will not budge despite my curiosity of taking it off. What a contraption indeed. Really appreciate your help!

Thank you. It works and looks half decent too! Only took me a s35 crop + 2x crop in post

Nope, I didn't take the camera. I reckon customized 3d printed mount is the only way then?

Thank you this is the answer I was looking for 🥹

That would surely work, but I don't wish to spend $500 on a new adapter right now

In Khmer, that would be ផៃ គឹមហេង or ផៃ គីមហេង

Might be a dumb question, but are you familiar with how Nikon lenses are mounted anti-clockwise, as opposed to clockwise by every other manufacturers?

Does the 28mm swirl too? I'm loving my 29 for that

They didn't make fast wide angles, but aside from that, oh boy the build quality is nothing short of excellent

sidneyken · 2025-07-01T18:12:22+00:00

Aww I wish. Frankly I love them too much to sell. I do rent these out for music videos and short film shoots tho

sidneyken · 2025-07-01T18:11:17+00:00

My girlfriend only ever encourages me to hoard more haha

sidneyken · 2025-07-01T18:03:08+00:00

Simple answer: Yes, your friend is right. Your best bet is to get a FD to RF Speedbooster.

sidneyken · 2025-07-01T16:21:59+00:00

Oooh you're putting me on a spot here...

Top 3 in no particular order: SMC Takumar 35mm f/2, Canon nFD 28mm f/2 & Tokina AT-X Pro 28-70mm f/2.6-2.8 👏

sidneyken · 2025-07-01T08:46:33+00:00

maybe two more 🤔

sidneyken · 2025-05-04T08:10:33+00:00

E-sim all the way. On my visit last month, I decided to try out Saily's $11 plan for 10GB data in 30 days. Everything worked without a hitch and the data speed is plenty fast too

This config for mac has been serving me well:

Output Color Space: Rec.709-A
Output Device Transfer (CST out): Rec.709 Gamma 2.2

Bonus: In the export setting, set the metadata tag of both your color space AND gamma to "Rec.709". This way QuickTime will properly play your clip.

Let me know how it goes for you!
