This is literally exactly what I was looking for. I didn't know the F-stop clarity issue, now I know why so much of my recent footage I shot looks blurry!!!

[HypnoErik]

Thank you for these Tipps - I´ve been searching for this information for some time. I immediately ordered the Filters.

[julioalvarez]

Your videos are super informative. They save peeps like us a lot of time and heartache. Thank you for the nitro boost forward!

[MikeVR]

Thank you! I've found the process of cutting the gelatin filters and keeping them free of finger prints and scratches to be a difficult task, and I was hoping you might recommend a superior alternative. These look great. Thanks again for the great information and sharing your knowledge!

[slodays]

Hello again Hugh. Very informative. Thank You. Why don't you think the gel filter strip will work?

[chanvincent]

Thank you for these great tip and incredibly useful information! Just couple of questions regarding R5C : 1. What is the base ISO setting when you say ISO800 in the video? 2. With Base ISO 3200, would ideal ISO is also 3200?.
Many thanks.

I use the Kase clip- in ND and night filters in my R5. But in daylight ISO100 around f5.6 1/25s 8K25p only. ISO 400 or 800 I must denoise the shadows for VR watching.

Should I set the aperture to 5.6 for indoor videos as well? In my experience, setting it that high for indoors can introduce more noise in the footage.

[Maebbie]

using nd filters with this lens is just such a pain though. What worked great for me is to just reduce the shutter angle, at 60fps you can get away with a lot. As long as nothing moves quickly close to you it will work out great. For water espcially keep the shutter angle larger. Think of it like in games without motion blur, it still looks fluid even though they would be at what is the lowest shutter angle possible.

Thanks for making this dude, so surprised at how little support this lens gets from Canon. I want to maximise this lens but don't know how to make it work commercially, any tips?

[besttourinrio]

Your videos are great ! it would be even better to do it in a short version.

[AndrewHassett]

Do you have an example of a close-up shot taken with the 5.2mm lens and filter at f/2.8?

[marcusavanti]

Can I please ask if you experienced any ghosting or reflection issues, which is common with front lens filters with light at certain angles ?

[EJEA_TB]

Hello Hugh, in the cámera menu nº 6/Diffaction correction, How do you adjust that parameter, and do you think it works?, and thanks por share

[ericalvarez]

Is this the filter for the RF mount on their website? I see it only says compatible with R5 and the R5C is not listed. Just want to make sure before I purchase. Thanks

I Bought the KASE Clip-In ND's and saw that they do not work with the Canon dual fisheye lens unfortunately :( Have you tried those ones and did you see the same issue?

[HakanKorkmaz]

Hello Hugh. Can you recommend an average laptop for VR video editing?

[CharlesUibel]

Aren't you still exhausted from the live you did over the weekend?

[WildHorseProductions]

Does it work with regular EF, RF lens?

[steedlei]

Hi Hugh, sorry I have question not related to this video. Do you have idea how to create 180 VR video from Unreal Engine 5 or 5.1 (pure 3D)? Thank you so much!!
