I took a big risk and shot a short film on the k-x this past weekend. I wasn't completely comfortable with the camera and it's capabilities, but I went ahead and shot a film on it anyway. I have to say, I'm impressed by it. I shot 95% of the film on two old lenses. A 35mm 2.8 and a 135 2.8. I only used the kit lens on specific shots where those other two lenses wouldn't work and only in abundant light. I'm in the process of editing it right now and will share the finished product with all of y'all when its finished. However, I posted a couple of screenshots below. This is raw footage screengrabs.
not all of the footage turned out this great. I tried using a double adapter thing to make my 35mm lens a 70mm. Bad idea. So after trying to use it on one scene i stopped because there was noticeable grain and the image was extremely flat. I also had grain problems with my prime lens in my lower light scenes. If i had a faster lenses than 2.8 it would've done phenomenally well under the darker lighting conditions. But overall, the film looks very nice.
The k-x has alot of quirks and isn't ideal for shooting films on them, but it can be used to get great images. When I post the final film, I'll go into more detail with the pros and cons i had with shooting a film on this, and hopefully be able to discuss them with the readers here to be able to further understand the camera and how to use it to the best of its abilities.
