Nikon Test 2

[Steve Sherrick]

Here's the link to check out my latest Nikon Test. More to come. This one was thrown together quick after exporting 1080P Pro Res files, editing that in FCP and using Colorista for quick tweaks.

Steve,

The lens looks pretty good! I'm thinking of going the Nikon route myself. I saw your first test and was impressed with the lens. However, in test 2 it looked to me like about 1/3 of the shots were soft. I know it's hard to focus that telephoto on a moving target. Did you use the Red focus assist or was it all by eye? Thanks for posting the test.

Bob, good catch. Those were digitally zoomed in in FCP. Here's the fun part. They were zoomed in 250% or more. More to break up the edit, as all of the slow mo were from the same distance. But just goes to show that with this resolution, I could probably go back into REDCINE and get those even better. Maybe not ideal, but the fact that they aren't completely garbage at that kind of zoom factor is kind of cool.

Were the shots that were 100% sharp though? They seemed to be okay to me.

Zoomed!

Zoomed!

Never would have guessed you zoomed in 250%! The guy rowing by himself looked good and so did the mark harrington black hull boat in the wide shot.
I'm wondering if you could get away with a 20 - 50% blow up in a quick shot and get away with it ...
