Comment no.1:
I saw von Trier - Melancholia (shot on Alexa) projected from 35mm, and I couldn't tell it was not shot on film, until some night exteriors lit by some messy super-yellow lights.
I saw...

Get a set of calibrated lenses, pick a wide-angle, put the camera on a tripod facing to some sharp text or chart, say 1m away. Magnify and find focus on the LCD. Check the mark on the lens. If it's...

Hello guys, do you think it's possible to rent a PL mount for Scarlet in Europe?
I could only find lensrentals.com in the US
thanks

I guess same goes for the DP6

I use a SmallHD DP4, it's great, and has usb to power the hdmi transmitter stick that was mentioned before.

If you go on with the math, 16bit means 16 times more data than 12bit, which seems way too much to record.
I'm happy with the quality regardless of the bits, anyway.

I bought an old Chrosziel mattebox from a friend, and it's great. Very good materials, light, good-looking, reliable french flag system, top class compared to chinese or indian products. Was about...

So the sensor has one native iso (to me it seems like 320), and you cant change film stocks. You can push it a bit (to 500 or 800), but its really just pushing, not changing stocks.

If you really lost detail either in the shadows or in the highlights, you can't bring them back by changing the iso. It doesn't work like dslr iso, it works more like analogue film: if you didnt...

Mike, you can ask injoycamera, the seller on ebay, they're very nice and respond quickly. You have several options for shipping, they'll tell you exactly, which ones to your country. I've ordered 3...

Hello, as far as I remember on the Red One there is an option like "open shutter", and also on the Alexa some kind of a "smooth viewfinder" thing, that makes the frames blend into each other on the...

Aahh, thank you, Trent!
I let it run ever since, I didn't know what to do. Now it's all good. :)

I had a Canon 24/1.4 on it, removed, but still nothing happened

(Still running, still stuck)

Hello, I'm just updating to 3.0.7, and the progress bar has stopped for like 15 minutes now. It's at the "Upgrading Attached Peripherials" part, about 75%.
The camera is on AC power, plus a Redvolt...

These 77mm Tiffen IRNDs seem like a bargain, does anyone have experience with them, especially 1.5 and above?

Thanks Stu, that's great news, you got them one more customer :)

Hey Stu, that looks good, so good, it makes me suspicious. Beillen is popular in Hungary, mainly for the Alexa, but it usually cost almost twice as much as from this chinese seller.
Also, there is...

I think its average for a still lens. Im not very sensitive on breathing, usually. For 90% of the shots, there are no big&fast changes in focus, and when there is one, and you think it'll be...

Here is a quick test I did today with the 35/1.4:

I have a Contax Distagon 35/2.8, for some comparison (it's also a still lens, though):...

Hi,

1. the lack of hard stops at the two end of the focus throw won't allow to calibrate your wireless follow focus, or even with a regular ff you can easily turn it over infinity or close-point...

The 35/1.4 mechanic build feels really nice. Distortion is a bit too much, but seems like the Zeiss has about the same, too.

I wonder how Canon could do such an amazing 24/1.4, almost no barrel at...

Hello, it's been coming since August, but now

seems like it's finally getting close

Based on my experience...

How nice of them :)
I couldnt find any price on their site. How much was yours? You ordered something like this?
