General Chat / Zacuto Z-finder Loupe + Focus Peaking
March 26, 2014, 04:21:36 PM
I used my manual focus lens and ML's focus peaking to a great extent on friday night and I'm happy with the results.

I wonder whether the Zacuto Z-finder Loupe would help even more? I do actually wish I had an EVF like the Sony A7R.

Has anyone feedback about using the loupe?

cheers

I've got my 'first' (and possibly only) wedding in October.

I'm looking at ways Magic Lantern can help me, I'd love advice on any of these things - I'd like to practice.

5d mark III body.

The bride likes my photos, she asked me to photograph her wedding - a lot of stuff of mine has been f1.2 - one slight problem is that it seems a hell of a risk to shoot a wedding for real @ 1.2 - so I'm thinking aperture bracketing! f1.2 / f2.5 maybe?

I have a Carl Zeiss 35mm 1.4 lens, manual focus only - so I'm pretty glad for focus peaking or LV sharpening. Also the magic zoom with split prism - nice touch!

I've been playing with ETTR and Dual ISO today - these could come in very handy I suppose, I do get worried about the Dual ISO output though! doesn't exactly look good on camera.. I suppose the more I play the more I learn to trust it.

So is there anything else I should look at, or advice on the above?

thanks
