Hi thanks for the replies
The main reason light is not in budget is because I usually film in places I have no access to a wall outlet..
And portable power costs alot..
I know I'm a trouble seeker :p but that's how it is for me
Except a denoiser, is there a way to get less noise in camera?
Atm I shoot flat with iso 800, and the noise ruins the shots (even after cc, which is very limited also because of the noise - it actually changes colors of visible areas in the frame)
I currently have a light stand and an adapter to put normal e27 bulbs on it
Problem is - in Israel, because we are committed to save the planet, it's ilegal to sell bulbs that are more than 70w, and all the leds here are cr.p (chinese with fake company labels)
I'll soon try to fix a redhead I found... Wish me luck :p  (it's 800w.. Might just collapse the building's electricity where I shoot the most, and I buy it from china so no indication it's 800w - my only way of getting real light I think)

General Chat / Can't afford faster lenses for 600D
March 22, 2016, 01:51:11 AM
Hi!
I'm a 600D user (with ML) for 2 years now.

I'm into making films,
I'm quite satisfied with the codec, it's almost enough for me when I use a flat profile..
But I can't afford lighting mostly and I mostly shoot indoors,
so I was basically always looking for faster glass all the time.
I know it might irritate people but this is the only place I can think of sharing this and discussing thoroughly..
The lenses I currently own:
SMC Takumar 50mm/1.4 (RADS RADS EVERYWHERE!!! XD) - Which is my fastest, but too short for indoors.
Sigma 17-50mm 2.8 VC - My all around lens because it's my only fast wide-angle one, with time this feels very limited
Canon 55-250mm IS II - Usable only in sunlight... (got with the camera, too)
Canon 18-55mm IS (non USM) - kit... too dark, too. (too many "too"s)

Glass gets expensive (for me 100$ is A LOT of money...) with my need of low light performance,
as I already invested in canon-compatible glass.
I see the GH4 and just jealous; I can't afford it, nor the Metabones, nor its little brother the G7...
I know getting performance means getting the money out of my pocket,
but I start thinking that investing hundreds of dollars in glass, just to compensate 600D's sensor,
is a waste.
Should I have upgraded the body prior to buying the 17-50? (which is why I don't have spare money for a year now..)
I'm tired of chasing fast used lenses at bargain prices... (f2.8 is the minimum for me atm)

Currently 3 projects I tried making, got to the point where I sit in front of the editing program and curse the hellish noise in the videos

Please prove me wrong... What solutions do you think are available with no budget?

-I just want to discuss this topic of $$$-vs-Low Light and Video Quality
-I'll probably stay with my 600D until times get better, and I'll keep using ML, maybe wiser if you'll suggest things

I have Canon 600D (t3i?) and I was shooting a short film which had a repeating problem:
The video came out a bit wider than what's displayed on screen, therefore there were boom and lighting in frame...
If it could be possible to scale down the image to fit the display using ML it would be awesome!

-I guess it's most likely impossible... but if it is - then it's time to show ML can make 99% coverage cameras 100%! ^_^

Thanks for considering,
Have a nice day ^_^
