TRONQUI 0 #1 May 4, 2004 I've bought a new camera, This is a Canon Elura 50 Everything is working good for skidiving, and I love it because the weight, measurements and functions> The only thing is that Cannon only produce one wide angle lens for it Is a .7 for 28 mm lens Any comments about this Ive heard that .7 is too much thanks I'll wait here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 May 4, 2004 It truely depends on what you're videoing and what you want the video to look at. I have a .38 on my setup, which is nice when doing FF or RW, but if people are more then a few feet away, they look like they're VERY far away.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

AndyMan 7 #3 May 4, 2004 I would not use that camera for skydiving, A simple search will explain why. As for what wide angle lens you should use, well... that really depends on what you want your video to look like! _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

tonyhays 86 #4 May 5, 2004 You can get other wide angle lens for that camera, you just have to find a step-down ring (adapter) to fit it. But like Andyman said....this camera -may- not be for skydiving. It's predecessor model, the Elura 40, only lasted for a 100 jumps with me.“That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
