Crop Mode with invention

[Quentin]

Before my Canon 5d3, I used to have an old cropped sensor camera.

While I was expecting my 5d3 to arrive, I ordered a Holga Lens together with a Fish Eye Lens for it, for something like 40 euros total.
I was disappointed to find out that this potential cheap fish eye solution was for a cropped sensor camera, so all I see was black barrel and a circular fish eye image in the middle.

BUT ... with Magic Lantern, I can record the Fish Eye in 1920x1080 using the Crop Mode.
How nice !!!!!!
For 40 euros, I saved myself some hundreds investing in a Fish Eye Lens.

Incredible idea. So happy. Thanks to all ML developers and users.

A minor Lens Correction in AE will also do wonders for your cropped fish eye footage )

Although it looks similar, it doesnt capture the wide angle view.
Rather, AE Lens effect distorts the image edges to mimic the effect.

I tried that concept  a while ago here

Not sure, but I think what @Kharak means is applying lens correction in Adobe Camera Raw will remove the fisheye lens distortion from the video if that's what you want to do. Also, I think what @Quentin is saying is applying a fisheye look in After Effects to normal video isn't the same as real fisheye lens video capture.

Of course I could be wrong on both accounts

@Danne, nice comparison video :-)

[Danne]

Hehe, youre right. Well, the video shows it other way around. Had to make a personal lensprofile in lightroom since crop mode isn, t centrerad to get a rectilinear 24mm from my 8mm peleng

Hey @Danne, my comments weren't directed at you, your video was spot on for what @kharak was saying, so my compliments again.

I was just was trying to clear things up between the other two posters for all of us to better understand the exchange of ideas that was going on, I think they were kind of missing each other's point a little bit.

Sometimes you needs lens distortion, sometimes you dont.
My main concept was how to use a 1.6 crop sensor fish eye lens on my full frame camera.

I dont disapprove other uses.
It depends what you want
