Here's some test footage, with an Opteka clip at the end for comparison. Please forgive the glare on the front blunt clips, that's the Tadashi filter, not the lens itself.
It's just really hit-or-miss, some of it looks pretty good and some of it (see: the crailslide) is doing this weird thing where every other frame is out of focus. I've been paying extra attention to camera settings related to how the clip comes out, but I still can't figure it out.
I don't mean to sidestep the conversation, but how much did Schneider charge to replace your front element?
Nah not at all, it was $295 for the glass, plus $150 labor. Would've rather saved myself a month of turnaround and just replaced it myself, but they insisted, lol. It kinda seemed like the front element I got was the last one they were sitting on in their shop, but I'm sure that will change when they get the MK1 back into production.
could be the thickness of the stepup/filter youre using. distance from lens to lens is really crucial for focus on the mk1
I've really only got about 1.5mm between the bayo ring and the camera threads, so just about the same as Shane's video, and the vig I'm getting in the raw footage before the zoom/crop in post looks pretty much exactly the same. I dunno, maybe I'm being too finicky about how it looks?
