Iscorama filming

[harryhausendisney]

Last time I have used the Iscorama 54 for single 8 filming was in 1991. Next july, I will go to Spitzbergen and I will film this trip again in Iscorama, with the Iscorama 54 in the Fuji ZC1000 and the Iscorama 42 for the Fuji ZX300. Could someone refresh me something about the focus with this lenses? Should I put always the camera lens in infinity and focus only with the Iscorama? Change the Iscorama lens the original table of deep of field? I have projected my 1991 movie and it´s very sharp, but I don´t remeber well, after all this years, as I have filmed this film. Thanks.

When filming below a distance of fifty feet (seventy meters roughly) set BOTH lenses to the correct distance.
Over that distance,camera set at infinity and ALWAYS focus the scope lens.I have had much success using this method.

50 feet is 15 metres...
70 metres is 230 feet...
