45mm Contax G f 2.0?
Hey, I remember that video! Its been I while. This was shot pre-hack.... The Contax G 45mm is a good lens but with bad ergonomics, and that was with the better metabones adapter. You need to find a sweet spot in the adapter so it will not bind up,…

Cluster X: Series 1 - moon - ЅріzZ - nebula - drewnet - Slipstream
80% mode is the GH2 variable frame rate mode. Think of it like this you record @ 30fps and then slow down the clip to 24fps. That is what 80% mode dose. It's not really slow mo but it can take the edge off of handheld shots. 720p is your be…

Native Instruments Komplete 9
If you can, wait until July. That is when NI will usually have a deal on this. Komplete 9 is late this year and no updates on any core products. I was surprised that they have not updated anything...... This is the 2nd year in a row that Komplete ha…

Metabones lens speed booster adapter, focal reducer
@kronstadt I think the kodak patent will expire in March and this will be the new thing. The metabones adapter has 4 elements in 4 groups..... maybe you will see this go below $100 bucks in a year or two but I would not count on it. Not everyone ca…

Sony F3 or BMCC (ended up with a Sony F35)
F3 its a no brainer. If you want to get a BMCC you could sell it and have enough cash to buy 2.

*SOLD* Original ROLAND TB-303 Analog Synthesizer FS - Excellent Condition "Like New"
Selling a 303 on a video DSLR site is creative but vintagesynth.com might be a better place to move this. Good luck with the sale.

@ CRFilms Saw the same things, also there was a poster claiming to be a friend of the owner talking about a KineRaw 35mini for about the same price of the BMC. I think this cam is already DOA but they a smart and already moving on. They already di…

voightlander nokton 25mm vs lumix g x vario 12-35
They are both very deferent lens. F2.8 vs F0.95, prime vs zoom, oss vs none...... Cost wise they are about the same. I have the 25 nokton and it is a very good optic especially in low light, there are some IQ issues in the .95-1.4 range but a lot o…

Yea my best guess is that the Bo Xi Lai part of the government is staging the protest so that the Xi Jinping side loses face. It might of not have been designed that way but thats the way it will play out. maybe......

WW2 has a lot to do with the animosity in the region but the protests in China are unusual. China is letting them happen (china hates protests) Japan really controls the islands and China will not be able to challenge that for at least another deca…

This hopefully will go away soon, this is a strange situation for a lot of reasons but at the end of the day China is a very pragmatic country. BUT, this could also be the start of a power grab from the military as well. China is very complex an…

Best way for new filmmakers/videographers to break into the business?

@rockroadpix wow day rate is $300 for a grip now! You kids have it good. My advice will only work if you know your way around a set. I would hope that after film school you would know how a C-stand works and what a C47 is. (but I would not know, n…

Do you know what you want to do yet? What is this mindless corporate job you speak of. I worked in corporate video for years, some of it was boring as hell but I never thought that it was mindless. I always did what I could to make it as interes…

Digital Bolex raw camera, no longer made
@VK very true, the makers of the Digital Bolex are making an mistake by not being more open about it. If it was me I would have all my designs open to the public and open source as much as I could. The hardware is going to be the easy part the softw…

@PaulVTX42 I hope they pull it off. I am one of the people that think that they can, the hardware seems straight forward. There are a lot of people that want to see them fail for the sole reason to say I told you so, hatters are going to hate.

ES CINELUX Anamorphic 2x MC test
This guy needs its own adapter made for it, defiantly too big for a clamp. There also needs to be other modifications made to it as well. Focusing with an alen key is insane. I want to get them re-houused into something a little more manageable. @G…

You are right! I am going to fix it and repost it in a little. I am still a learning the ropes over here, I am going to give mpeg a shot as well. Would kill for a 1:1 sensor mode for AVCHD but I am happy with whatever I can get.
