      it`s blurry? is it blurry because the insides are reflective?

    You’ve mastered the soft vintage look. That’s where this camera shines! The imperfections make it charming

    • @EvanMonsma
      @EvanMonsma  6 місяців тому +20

      Thank you- the vintage lenses are tough to focus but somewhat forgiving since the image is so soft anyway. Really fun look

      idk i think this moreso comes from the lens than anything. if you put this on any m43 camera you'd probably get the same image lol

    The comment about how it's ok to do projects for fun, but just be honest without yourself that it's for fun and don't try to justify it somehow, is extremely relatable. Even right now out of no where I decided to build a TinyPC out of the newest thin client style machine I could find that supports Windows XP just so I'd have a hardware solution to playing a couple games that have been annoying me to get to run on modern hardware. There's no practical use for the project, but for the ~150 bucks I'm spending all in for parts, tools, etc. it's worth it for the fun of building the project itself for me, much less playing my old games on it.

    I love this! The footage looks beautiful, and the whole idea of just doing projects for fun is so true!! As someone who has started collecting older cameras (BMPCC OG, Digital Handycam), this is definitely something I could see myself adding to the collection!

    Great video! Love the footage the modded camera produces, and just seeing the test footage demo'd got me thinking of all the fun projects it'd be perfect for. I think I dig this look way more than the unmodded action cam, but that's also what's so cool about different cameras having different "looks". Would love to shoot on a modded action cam like this sometime!

    @coreyriddell1759 5 місяців тому

    Did this with a Yi 4k a few years back. It was a fun project, cost about as much as a roll of vision 3 and processing and it let me use my c-mount lenses for something again. It's not the easiest to use, focus is finicky, but it's cheaper and waaaay lighter than dragging a bolex around for my use case. Are there better cameras for the job? Yes. Am I glad I did it, absolutely.

  • @CanalHottuning
