[QUOTE="JyBorg, post: 511966, member: 35163"] Wow, today was an incredible learning experience. I've done a lot of shooting with video cameras and my favourite cam to use is actually a low-level documentary camera, Canon XH-A1s, using a Brevis adapter to put interchangable lenses on it. So after playing around with my Nikon D3300 for awhile I decided to take it on a shoot. However, I still set up my Canon and asked a friend to back me up with her Canon 5D MK III and I'm glad I did, because without these two cameras for coverage I'd have failed miserably. The biggest mistake I made was using the wrong lenses for the shooting conditions. I'm going to pick up the Nikon 85mm 1.8 lens in the next couple of days and I'm going to buy an external LED monitor with focus peaking. I haven't slept yet tonight. I've spend the last 5 hours going over my footage with a fine-tooth comb and searching the internet for answers as to what I did wrong. Tonight was a great learning experience... probably the best experience I could have had... and I'm eager to go out and do things right this time. This is exactly like when I lost my first boxing match. Just had to vent. My foresight prevented a total failure and I learned a lot because of it. I'm also considering buying the D750 because one day soon I'm going to need to retire my video cameras. What I'd really like is a Panasonic GH4 with a metabones speedbooster to adapt my Nikon lenses, but I don't think the metabones adapter will work on my lens mounts. If that's the case then I'm definitely getting the D750 instead of investing in several new lenses. [/QUOTE]
