Are there lenses for JVC mini DV camera's?

Question

I'm in a situation with my current film that this is the only camera I can use, and sense it's not meant for low budget (or any budgeted) film/s, does anyone know if there are lenses I can use for the JVC GR-D70U mini DV? Or..does anyone know how to get the "movie" look out of a home video camera? Thanks so much.

Answer 1

The "movie look" comes from capturing, editing and rendering  at 24p... different lenses probaly won't do what you want. Consumer camciorders typically run at 60i (interlaced) or 30 frames per second (actually, 29.97, but everyone calls it 30 fps)...

The least expensive consumer cam (of which I am currently aware) that does 24p is the Canon HV20 (and I guess the Canon HV30).

Answer 2

look for s***w on lenses that fit a 37mm filter adapter

you can usually find a .5X wide and a 1.5X or a 2X tele
