Nice, didn’t realise you’d worked on some stuff for Jimmy’s farm fella!

Seen the Kickstarter funding? Seems an interesting route for documentaries…

Comment on Would you use an AF101 on a run and gun shoot? Hmmm… not sure… by Jonathan Richards

Hi Adrian,

Perhaps some of these questions are best answered by checking out the lens resolution test here http://www.jonathan-richards.tv/the-big-lens-resolution-test-on-the-af101/

My got to lens is the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8. Nice and sharp and useful focal length. Not very long, but this is a multi-lens camera.

Yes, resolution certainly seems to suffer in low light. But I guess this is the same for most cameras. The AF is very good in low light, so it’s a while before it’s a real issue.

I haven’t used the AF for any run and gun, hand held work yet. I’m going to Ghana with it in the New Year doing some reality style work with it. So watch out for a blog post early next year.

Hi Jonathan,

which lenses did you use? I’m thinking of getting an AF101 for reportage style documentaries – lots of available light shooting and handheld stuff. Can you recommend a zoom lens that is both practical (stable, not too heavy) and decently fast?

On the pic I noticed you didn’t use an additional HD-monitor. Can you work with the built-in display?

From your experience: Do you get into trouble sharpness-wise when you have to work with low light (rainy day, dusk, dimly-lit room)? What’s is like when you shoot at the 14mm end of a zoom lens?

I hope you can answer my questions – most people only describe how to do scenic stuff with an AF101. But as I said, I’m more interested in documentary-style (but with the possibility of nice shallow DOF images).

Best wishes, Adrian

Wow. Thanks for doing that. Just glad my efforts were helpful to someone. Have you taken a look at the macro film I posted as well?

I travelled up from Cardiff specifically for your presentation (and Mr. Bloom’s.)
I own an AF101 and needed confirmation of what it could do. I have not spent much time with it and that was highlighted by the splendid results you have achieved with yours. Your presentation was nicely put together and just the right length.

I have used a Cinesaddle for a long time and I can’t say enough about it. It works really well for low shots as well as everything else.

I have used a Cinesaddle for the past 10 years and absolutely love it. You can get great low shots along with wonderful moving shots from any moving object.

Good Luck

I can get as close as 2 inches. Depending on the subject matter, that may or may not be a good thing!

Hi Jon.
Just found myself also snooping around your site – excellent! What a life you have – and there was I thinking you were just sat at home with your feet up occasionally editing something or other, or sunning yourself abroad. (Never forget that sun hat though!) Keep up the good work. And yes, you do have a fab wife (and kids!!) Lx

Is a brilliant work, really.

I was shooting director of many corporates until now. But never really behind the camera.
I think is the time for me to take a such in hand. I am just beginner in this. Thats quite funny….
I am thinking also for the DSRL possibilities. It looks is the future on it. Isn`t it? These jag 35 kids are doing amazing work
(http://jag35.com) on the equipment.
Ps.: you can watch here one of my corporate work.

Yes, I plan to use as much of the 5D as possible on the corporate work. It’s tricky to work with, but corporate shoot tend to be more structured than the documentary work, so you can spend the time to shoot with it.

Do you plan to use the 5d on your next corporate or is it too difficult to use on those jobs, despite the brilliant results.
