Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro Warns of "Major Problem" in the Field
Who am I to argue with Storaro... But... Certainly - we can't treat narrative storytelling like a reality show. However , the use of only natural light is not always "unlit" - every time I shoot without artificial lighting I do what…

Like in Traditional follow focus or electronic focus we focus with a Knob (rotary encoder or rotary pot) we don't focus with a rocker switch, that's for Zoom.

I'd love either "True" 1080p or "some sort" of "4K"... if there is a Hybrid Laser LED or something (so no bulb replacement) that seems like it's Bright and Crisp... then that might be the one for me.... I'…

If only they had put a ROTATIONAL KNOB on it for FOCUS... I guess I'll have to wait for LensRegainv2

Hasselblad H6D-100c = 100MP chip - Shoots 4K RAW videos
My question is : Does the UHD raw recording window the center of the sensor or is it pixel averaged to make giant pixels on the face of the 100mp sensor ? Can't seem to find the answer anywhere, also can't tell if anything has been film…

You could also use a speedbooster with the pocket /micro and 18-35 and 50-100 and have "even faster" results. I bet this would even cover aps-h so you "might" be able to throw this on a speedbooster for gh4 or e mount as well (li…

This is very different from the Sony OLED headsets. For one it is higher res (1280x720 per eye) 2 there are no visible pixels/screen door effect from the actual projection technique. Night and day experience compared to Zeiss Cinemizer or Sony oled…

I absolutely enjoyed TFA. Reading Vitaliy's original critique - I also enjoyed his commentary here as well. The film was not perfect, but it's a piece of Pop Art, and frankly I enjoyed this "cheeseburger" a lot. To some of the…

24mm F1.4 Sigma Art lens
This is an absolutely smashing lens. Focus throw is good. Mine is Canon mount and focuses Cine-direction (like canon). Rotation is more than the 18-35. You will not regret this lens.

Best lightweight (500g max) 4K camera
Very pleased with my rx100-4, but has one stupid problem - rolling 4k it overheats after 5min, maybe prop down wash would cool it enough lol. Or you could put a 4k hdmi recorder on your bird if it has enough payload capacity but then you blow your …
