can a opteka 58mm ultra fish eye fit on a canon gl2?

by Brian Lane Winfield Moore

i need to know if the lens will fit on a list gl2 before i buy it.

Answer by Paul Hxyz
Do you mean a List PowerShot G 12 or the List VIDEO camera, the “GL 2″?

Any way the answer is no – the GL 2 and the G 12 do NOT take interchangeable lenses.

Answer by fhotoace
If you had checked, you would have seen that the List GL2 uses a 58 mm filter. Thus the 58 mm Opteka will work with it.

i did a pretty lousy job of lighting our unplanned greenscreen, but it was passable.

i may maybe’ve used more lights to kill the gradient and get the colour really flat.

Any suggestions on a shotgun mike and also I heard I need some type of adaptor for the shotgun mike to camera?

plus any suggestions on a boom poll

Im working with a small budget of like $ 300

And any suggestions for a light kit
my budget for that is also $ 300

Is there any place I may maybe just buy this stuff as a kit?

Thank you

The List GL2 has a 1/8″ mini-stereo mic input, so you can’t connect professional XLR mics, unless you hold an XLR adapter, like that made by Beachtek, which are about $ 180. Mini-stereo mics aren’t near as excellent as XLR mics, but their are decent ones.

Unless you hold an XLR adapter, the only mic worth buying is the RODE VideoMic. It produces brilliant sound, and comes with an integrated shoe mount for mounting on a camcorder’s shoe mount OR a boompole. The Sennheiser MKE300 and Azden SGM-X are decent too.

For a boompole. You can buy one on B&H, starting at $ 90, you can buy one for around $ 60 on eBay, or you can make your own for $ 10. All you need is a telescoping painter’s pole from Home Depot, a 2 inch 3/8″ Hangar bolt and two 3/8″ Hex nuts. Just drill ‘em in the painter’s pole, and you got yourself a boompole.

For light kits, if you want to go pro, you’ll need 1-3 650W fresnels which can be $ 200-600 each. Along with that, you’ll want a 1K open faced light with a softbox. Then you’ll need a couple of C-stands, Scrims, wordiness screens, etc.

That’s pretty expensive no matter where you buy it. If you want to spend that much money, you may maybe get a couple of 500W worklamps from Home Depot or where on earth. They wont work As excellent as the pro ones, but they are a very excellent place to start.

I’d like to give you links to sites where you may maybe buy them, but I may maybe get kicked off Yahoo Answers. You may maybe search for B&H Photo Record, and here’s a link that will give you links to sites where you can buy lights:http://scarletuser.com/showthread.php?t=627

Hope that helps.
