Large format photography from 43rumors on Vimeo.
The cool thing about the Noktor is that f/0.95 aperture. So why not test the lens inside the darkroom? With no other lens I would be able to shoot in such a place. Take a look on the video to see the results. And keep in mind there was almost no light in the darkroom!
I found the f/0.95 aperture good enough for video shooting. Almost every part of the video has been taken at that aperture. Shooting handheld with a 100mm (50mm x2) lens is not easy. In fact you really need a tripod to take some “calm” pictures. But I didn’t have anyone with me on that day.
You asked me to post RAW images and original videos. Right now I am putting all the images together and I will upload them soon (it will take few hours).
By the way, the lens is in Stock now: http://noktor.com/products.php.

This lens looks a lot better for filming compared to the sample pictures.
Maybe you could try to get one of those hand grips for your camera. the one you posted a couple of days ago.. would be interesting how much the footage improves.
or go one step further and try this http://vimeo.com/10315887 .. the hague mini cam stabilizer is pretty cheap too.
Wow, almost completely unwatchable due to camera shake… 🙁
I really like the look from this lens when shooting video. If you change the colours to be washed out or B&W it has a great dreamy feel. I like it. (Maybe use imovie to short out the shake though!) 🙂
