THE STORY OF "LENS-SENSOR RECIPES"

For years, I had searched for the perfect lens-sensor combination; a lens and camera duo that would produce a beautiful image with few adjustments and little post-processing. It would look 100% REAL straight out of camera (SOOC) and therefore be everything I needed and wanted in a camera system. However, as I tested each pair, they all told a different story and would deliver light to the sensor differently. So, I began tweaking settings, jotting down notes (on index cards) for each lens-sensor combination I tried. As I continued to test more and more lenses, I realized I needed a database to access my settings quickly (each time I changed lenses). Finally, I created this website...

HOW TO:

(MINIMAL) Attach a cell phone (using a hot-shoe mount) to the top of my camera.
(BASIC) Mount 2 cameras on one camera cage (such as this one here) and use a prime lens for the tight/medium shot and a lightweight kit lens for the wide shot.
(ADVANCED) If you want to get really tricky, you can even use an HDMI switcher with your monitor or HDMI recorder (Atomos, etc.) and capture to either camera.

HOW TO:

I use a ball head to mount the top camera, which is typically the tight shot.
Then, I mount the main camera (typically the wide shot) on the bottom (in the normal mounting position of the camera cage).
Then, compose for the camera on the bottom, and adjust the ball head to compose the camera on top (after you get the first camera set).

NOTE: I find that composing the wide shot first is easier, then follow up with the tight (or medium) shot.
