@vertigopix
H.264

Guys?

Hi, guys!
Does someone managed to get video footage with Canon 600D captured in 1080p 30fps? And what is the highest frame-rate that is possible to set on the Canon 600D with ML?

Just got the Helios 44-2 lenses. I'm amazed with the video quality, actually. It's soooo good for 30 bucks lenses!))
Here is a raw footage, may be someone will find it helpful:

Today got myself to the shop (despite the New Year celebration some shops are working, wow) and tried Tamrom 17-50 and Canon 50mm. Well....Definitely, Canon 50mm is a great option for close-ups but without any rig or a steadycam it's worthless.

Tamron looks pretty good, but at the same time I didn't find any difference between it and Kit lenses on Aperture 3.5, 4.0 and so on. May be, image looks sharper a bit, but it's just 2-5% of difference. During post-processing I also didn't find too much of a difference. Sure f2.8 is better than 3.5 in low light, but I'm not sure that $300 worth this slight difference. If it was 1.8 at least....

I think I'd rather go with the old-fashioned lenses like 44-4M 58mm or Pentacon 50mm which are really cheap and will help me out in low light conditions. And will wait till I find any supplier who can deliver Sigma 18-35mm 1.8.

[Upd]

Thanks alot! Already looking for old used lenses!
And what can you say about Pentacon 50mm f/1.8? Upd: its seems to be Praktica lenses, right? That's good, cat get it for 20-30 USD.

And....are there any possible issues with installing old lenses on Canon 600D?

Btw, watched several videos,Helios 44-4M make sharper video compared to Pentacon 50mm 1.8...

[Sigma 18-35 f/1.8]

Hey guys.
Currently I own kit lenses ISII 18-55mm, but I want to upgrade to Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 as it perfectly fits my needs for video. Although, I'm not sure I will find it here, in Ukraine plus it has a high price tag.
In case I will not find this lenses, I will go for Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 or Tamron 18-50mm f/2.8. But I'm not sure which one is better. I've watched a couple of video and from that Sigma seems to have more detailed picture though it has not as good video stabilisation as Tamron has. Although some people recommend to get Tamron without IS as it has better video quality. Plus, I'm not sure that video quality would be much better than on my kit lenses.....
Guys with decent lenses, what can you recommend on this?

And, YES, I don't need autofocus. So if there are old-fashioned lenses which are very cool with low price tag I would gladly hear their names...

Proxy isn't created when I use this option...How to solve?
I use ML lantern the latest build downloaded from the official website.

I did, but with the latest ML build I still can't record 960x544 video in RAW. Recording stops after 100-200 frames....
Lower resolution works better.

The link is broken,

Can I use this in video mode?

Hello everybody.
Today I got my hands on Magic Lantern and I have installed it. Then I found Tragic Lantern that allows to record RAW video. And here goes a problem: my video is totally red but and almost completely dark at 100-200-300 ISO. I use technicolor cinestyle profile and with default canon settings it gives much better picture. Plus, recording stops after 200-300 fps in 960x544 if I move the camera a little bit. I read that this resolution perfectly fits Canon CPU...
What's the problem?
I can attach screens with setting and a preview of raw files if need to solve this issue.
