  • FINDING ANGLES, SHAPING LIGHT,
    BENDING COLOUR, MAKING MOVES...

    It’s the choices that happen behind the lens that define what happens in front. As a cinematographer, it’s these choices I make every day, on location, all over the world photographing many acclaimed films & television series.

    It’s also the knowledge that I share through my workshops & speaking engagements. Helping others acquire the techniques that will take their video & lighting to a higher level     Pieter de Vries ACS

The quality of the image is milky when I use a wide lens adaptor and zoom in

Supplementary lens adaptors are designed to supplement the existing optical range of the built-in zoom. They widen the field of view through out the entire zoom range. I is not technically easy for a zoom lens to perform brilliantly at the telephoto-end of the zoom at any time.

Adding a piece of glass designed to widen the field of view makes this task even harder as you extend the zoom to try an magnify the image. Without the wide angle adaptor on the front, you do not have to stretch the zoom so far. This is why you had a disappointing result.
