BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K
Is anyone using the Canon EF-S 17-55mm with the Metabones 0.71 Speedbooster combo and can comment on vignetting at the wide end and if IS works well? Thanks.

Tiny sound recorders
I've been looking at this tiny XLR recorder by Tascam called the DR-10X. Thinking of using it with a Sennheiser MKE600 or Rode NTG2 and a bluetooth headphones which will mean I can dispense with XLR cables and go wireless. Does this make sens…

CVW 100 Wireless HD Video Transmitter / Receiver via HDMI
I contacted them on Alibaba and they quoted $1,100 for a TX/RX pair and $1,730 for a TX and 2 RXs. Couple of things to note: - the batt on the receiver is a Sony NP type and the transmitter is Canon LP-E6. - they claim to be OEM manufacturers f…

Sorry, I don't know but I use a super cheap 4GB Patriot CF card without problem.

Yup :-) Finding new homes for good stuff that just sits on my shelves. For those unfamiliar with it, look where the Fostex FR2-LE stands in this signal/noise comparison done by Avisoft (including the popular Zoom H4N, Tascam DR100 etc. http://…

Cheap resin 4x4 ND filters
Maybe someone more knowledgeable can confirm but could that magenta cast be the greater ratio of IR filtrating through as the ND increases. @pechente and n3f0, if you have an IR filter, could you try stacking it to see if the magenta cast weakens?

Normal prime lens for m43 recommendations
You didn't mention budget I love shooting the Leica R 1.4/35mm Summilux with the the GH2 and AF100. I think the Leica R 2.8/24mm Elmarit is a is really nice too although much slower.

Tascam DR-100 MK II
Thanks for the heads up Vitaliy! I really like the Tascam DR100 when I need a mic-xlr-DR100-padded cable-DSLR signal chain for dual sound. I will likely be picking up this new version when it comes out. This is a great list of recorders by Sign…

Favourite lenses
With the GH2 used to be the Nikon AIS 35mm f1.4 now its the Leica R Summilux 35mm f1.4.

55mm Canon F1.2 S.S.C, your experience ?
I'd say it depends on how/what you shoot and the price that you can get it at. The 55mm f1.2 flares more than the 50mm f1.2 which had improved coatings.

55mm Canon F1.2 S.S.C, your experience ?
It's a lovely lens and I shot it a lot with the GH1. I especially liked how organic the images looked with the GH1. This was shot with that combo http://blip.tv/ikoniq/robin-brouillette-s-s-09-4377543 sorry, it's quite stylized, I'…

Wireless lavalier mic
@Vitaliy - oops, haha, true! @Bartholomeo its only a lavalier mic, sorry for any confusion, you'd need a wireless transmitter/receiver for it to work. For what its worth, I still run Sennheiser G2 wireless units which can be had used for $300…

Cheap and light tripod with video head
My light tripod options is a Manfrotto 701HDV head with a Manfrotto 190XB tripod legs with the replacement Manfrotto Leveling Center Column. I found them all used on Ebay so worked out to be under $200. I did seriously consider the Libec TH-650 t…

Nikon Nikkor MF Ai 50mm f1.4
@Butt That's a steal for EUR250! @Stefanos Love all the Nikon Standard primes, have both the 55m f1.2 and 50mm f1.2 both seem equally sharp wide open, the 50mm a smidge sharper but my shoddy eyes can't quite be sure. But sharpness isn&#…

Wireless lavalier mic
My budget lavalier mic vote goes to the new Rode Lavalier which can be had for $250. You can get a Micon connector for the XLR or 3.5" input to your H4N. http://www.dvestore.com/news/5/RODE-Lavalier.html

Good Deals: CPM FilmTools stuff
I got a cage and the wireless monitor units about a year or so ago and have to commend the guys for great customer service. In my case, I didn't like either item, the cage because it looks very plasticky (the pictures don't quite show i…

Gini rigs
@Brian202020 Received my Gini rig with the new follow focus. It is as Vitaly says made with the Huco gearbox. It works, some play but nothing that affects the way I pull focus. It is a nicely built thing. The only criticism I have is the singl…
