don't know if i'm too late, i do lighting for film and tv, we use whats called a keno flo with colour correction gel on it, it is basically 4 x 2 foot flourescent tubes in a housing, you could probably get 4 normal domestic ones cheap (or treat them nicely and return them to the shop afterwards) and tape them togeather. use daylight tubes then add put a blue gel over the top (we use a full blue colour correction gel) then simply move something infront of the light, it sounds crude but it works if you get the timing right

Yea, my other lenses seem to be ok on the camera which is whats confusing me, it is the mk 2 version of the lens

Hi

 

I have recently upgraded my eos 1000 to an eos 3, i have just bought

the canon 50mm f1.8 ef lens, the problem is that the af lens is

slightly soft on my eos 3, i can manually focus it so it is sharp

but if i use the af it focuses slightly behind the point of foucs.

if i put the lens on my eos 1000 it focuses fine and my other 2

sigma zoom lenses work fine on my eos 3, i have returned the lens to

the shop and exchanged it for a new one but still the same problem,

i am now therefore stuck as to what the problem is, i have checked

all the af settings on my eos 3 (is there something i'm missing), do

i need a different focusing screen for the faster lens? your help

and suggestions would be much appreciated

 

Cheers
