วีดีโอ

there are a couple videos on the channel dedicated to it! check em out and let us know what you think!

@@WhiteJadeProductions they’re great. This adapter gives the frame three dimension feeling. However, it seems like the adapter decreases the sharpness and most importantly the contrast of lens. Also, the green fringe is a little annoying. How do you cope with these problems. Do you think it is still worth it. By the way, I really like its anamorphic ratio, 2:1 is the best. Swirly bokeh and distortion are what I’m looking for.

@@ononmuduri5107 part of the contrast reduction is the black mist filter I used. The adapter takes on characteristics of the lens so the Nikon lenses I used already have swirly bokeh and a bit of CA. you can stop down to f4 and most of the color fringing disappears. I have a video coming out this week comparing different lenses and stops for how to control it!

@@WhiteJadeProductions Thanks for your answer. Really looking forward to seeing your next video. I always wander why this cheap but “effective” adapter are always neglected. I believe it is the best for the amateur and some of the professional filmmakers who like to try anamorphic filmmaking for its cheap price. Hope more people know this bargain through your videos 👍🏻！

You could get these exact same shots with steadicam or a dolly so I don't typically disclose that info. I doubt anyone who's ever held a camera is gonna think a small pocket sized camera with no IBIS would look this smooth anyway ahaha

ahaha no nothing like that. simply changing modes changed the screens brightness even with all the same settings applied. and i’m talking about third party software not hardware. any third party software could potentially corrupt an sd card

I’ve got one and it’s absolutely fantastic. But, manual focus is extremely slow. Takes a few turns to go from the low end to the high end

ahaha it's definitely not a cinema camera by any means, but kinda fun for traveling or shooting old/stylistic videos

@@WhiteJadeProductions Exactly! It's exactly that! And for what it is, it's pretty awesome (especially that the custom firmware is community driven) But seeing it compared to Arri's is just plain "emperors new clothes" haha

​@@patrik_x86he did not compare that in the video. Weird comment

@@unbroken1010 Yes. I watched the video. I was saying how I like how he's reviewed it for what it is and not compared it to full blown cinema cameras. I think it was a fair comment!

@@patrik_x86 but you stated " seeing it compared" slightly misleading

the “grain” comes from using color de noise with a higher iso! you could of course avoid it like any other camera but where’s the fun in that

@@WhiteJadeProductions I know some people want grain...but if you expose properly....there is no grain...that my point

@@quitethecontrary1846 that is somewhat true for this method of achieving a "grainy" look, but not for actual film. this camera is mostly bought for specifically that filmic look so it makes sense to slightly underexpose to achieve the best result in this case.

​@@WhiteJadeProductions I under stand that.....but my point is...The color space / profile of a specific film stock is completely different than its "grain" look though...a "grainy look" is only achieved by NOT exposing properly...both with film and digital... I just know from experience that film is much sharper than any digital sensor of the same size because silver halide grain is microscopic and pixels are not... also why when a drum scanner is used on film..you can "pixel peep" the image..which is not possible with a digital RAW image...

@@quitethecontrary1846 I understand what you're saying and I totally agree but people get this camera for the grain. I'm not out here teaching how to properly expose. if you are buying this camera you should already know how to do that. I'm simply showing how its flaws are used best.

definitely worth it imo!

appreciate it!

That's great the cheapest I see is $180 with a lens

wow I got one with the kit lens in box for $73! 60 is nuts! With a lens too?

Yes, I think he stopped down on aperture. That made zero sense

Is it possible he was stopped down or on a low iso.

It definitely depends on what you use it for but for photos, vlogging, or using it as a webcam i’d say it’s amazing for the price! i believe so but you might want to check canons website for compatibility.

I beat you lol got one for $73 usd with the kit lens, excellent condition in box!

understandable. It probably feels that way because I'm condensing a lot of thought/opinion into a short video. in a sense it is staged, but definitely not fake. think of it like a movie actually ahah. yeah its staged, but certainly a real story with real emotions at play.

It’s an awesome camera as is and of course perfect for travel

You bragging about being rich

@@unbroken1010 I paid $149 for the EOS-M.

@@tonykeltsflorida not bad, that's what I would pay too. Maybe a little more with the 22 mn

@@tonykeltsflorida I would pay that, maybe a little more with the 22 mm but why you bragging about all gear you own and lenses?

totally agree!!

i am in fact!

it certainly holds up despite its age!

Ngl it does kinda suck but for $200ish dollars you can’t complain too much i suppose 🤷‍♂️

@@WhiteJadeProductions that is indeed the trade off. I often joke to myself that if this workflow were required for any modern cinema camera, no one would buy it 🤣🤣🤣. I accept the process if only for the discounted cost

What do mean by transcode? Can't you just use the 1080 p straight out of camera

@@unbroken1010 the built in 1080p that comes with the camera is not the same as the magic lantern files that are generated when you film with magic lantern. It makes its own special container which then needs to be transcoded to something else before it's usable.

Because it is cheaper than most lenses, and you can still adapt most glass to it while keeping the form factor. This camera is 12 years old, so it has quirks and character all its own, but I’m finding the M6 Mark II covers most of what you need that you’d find in newer RF mount APSC cameras, where the EOS M is great for raw video and vintage characteristics, without the expense of other high end cinema cameras.

yea they did but glass for it is super cheap and easily adaptable!

The Mount might be ditched, but blackmagic and cinemacameras in general rely on old mounts for a long time. There was not a lot of Detail about this EOS M Camera. But i think, you would be better of with a pocket 4k alike for a convinient Video focused camera. Espicially if you want ti stop using autofocus. 😅 This camera is still interesting to me, but like a lot of toys, i don't see worthy usage in any time.

the worth in this camera really is the cost tbh. the BMPCC 4k is an amazing choice but also is 4x the price. i’d very much recommend it tho!

Canon never supported this camera family very well with native lenses that pop on right out of the box. The whole point of this camera to me is to get adapters to open up your lens choices. With adapters you can mount almost any lens ever made.

it came with the camera when i bought it. i believe it’s floating around on ebay and amazon. look up “canon eos M grip”

@@WhiteJadeProductions I can only find ones for the M10 and M100

@@dlprod11 interesting... I just looked and couldn't find it either. its very much a hard piece of gear to find but there are other brands that make similar half-grips for the eos M!

​@@dlprod11just buy a old vintage camera case and cut a hole in it. Or a small strobe frame , unscrew the top

comparison video coming soon 👀

Of course a $2,000 camera is going to outshoot a $200 camera.

You are comparing it to a $ 2,000 camera? Ffs relax p Diddy. 😂

appreciate it! and glad i could help! i think it’ll be a great first video camera for ya!!

I have taken apart each of them and cleaned each element I wanted to get certain looks. I certainly don’t mind a little defects for fun at the end of the day tho

Ahahaha i think we are DEFINITELY on the same page here! I totally agree on focusing on the glass. Of course Sony users would have trouble recreating the look of the creator. It’s all about the person behind the camera and the gear used in tandem with the camera itself!

100% agree! I just used some of the lenses i talked about in this video on a short film, and they worked fantastic for what we were aiming for!

yes you do in fact need adapters! i’ve bought some for nikon cameras for about $10 i think!

you shouldn’t have to worry much about that! most fungi grows inside the lens elements so it won’t infect other glass. any fungi on the outside of a lens can be easily removed!

true weather proofing does get tricky. I believe some adapter have gaskets but that gets expensive too ahaha! it very much depends on what you are doing! I shoot mostly narrative film so weather proofing, autofocus, and form factor aren't much of an issue.

thanks!

gotta be funny when things go wrong ahaha 🤷‍♂️

got a video coming out about that soon!! subscribe so you can see it when it releases!

i’ll definitely take a look at that!

You're so welcome!

There’s b-roll and photo examples at the end!!

I appreciate the idea though!
