Given that we would need a lot of light to shoot something hi-speed, we decided to test the camera outdoors. We called up our friend, Mauricio, who is an action sports shooter and has relationships with all of the skaters at the Venice Beach Skate Plaza – so skaters became our subject-matter. It’s common with skate shooting to use wide angle lenses. The TS3Cine model that we had in our possession was a PL mount, and we were able to use PL mount versions of the Zeiss CP.2 lenses. Our widest lens was the 18mm with that set of lens (almost a telephoto by skate standards – many of these shooters use something in the range of 12-14mm, like the Schneider "Death Lens" to make sure they capture the trick and keep everything in focus. The barrel distortion on a ultra-wide also helps to make the motion in tricks look more dynamic). However, the TS3 has a smaller sensor, so there was a 2.4x crop factor contend with, which effectively made our 18mm a 43mm lens. We also brought align the 35mm CP.2 in case we wanted to try something tighter (effective 84mm). We found that we mostly stuck to the 18mm, but the 35mm did come in handy as we started to lose daylight because its a faster lens, with a T/2.1 maximum aperture, compared to the 18mm’s T/3.6 max.
