    • Are you referring to the original DPL base mount with the SSD bottom rack + USB side plate in this video?  Also had you tried the RAW 12bit 1080p option via SD cards? I've heard it's pretty good so was thinking it could be a compromise in situations where I want to be as light as possible. I'd be shooting exclusively with the EF 35mm f2 (IS) and maybe pickup a 24mm f/2.8 (IS) + the PDmovie Live Air 3 and look into DPL's screen mod later down the line. But I figured that lens/PDmovie setup (w/o the DPL stuff) would cover the main limitations of the FP, while still being a fairly small footprint - but curious what you think from your own experience?      
    • I mostly use zooms out of necessity but use them like primes, ie, as fixed focal lengths. For stills on one of my S1RII’s with the Sigma 28-70 (chosen for it’s lightweight, minimal zoom extension, compact build), I shoot it 28 or 70 or 105 using the crop function. For stills with my L10, there is a 3 step function button and that I have set as 28, 50 and 70 for my candids. For video, currently S1RII to be replaced ASAP with an S1II (for less overheating purposes, an entirely different story), Sigma 17-40mm in crop mode with full eStab engaged making it either a 36 or an 84. The latter gives me a slightly tighter perspective when shooting side by side with stills but can’t get around that without some compromises. The summary is I’m pretty much always shooting 28mm as my wide and then either 70 or 105 as my long for stills and 85 for video. I’m pretty tuned in to those focal lengths as 28/85 would be my primes only set up. I would rather use primes but same as for manual focus only lenses, not a chance for the work I do. My work dictates the lens choices.
    • These two [1*] [2] Korean hands-on videos are probably among the most useful references I have seen so far on the Luna Ultra / Pocket 4P discussion. EDIT — plus this one from another reviewer elsewhere: [3] Not because they end the debate, on the contrary : ) but since they also help show the real operational trade-offs better than most spec-sheet comparisons, while still offering some fairly clear findings on the usual comparison points, such as outcome, colour or dynamic range, whenever those aspects are covered. source   *In this 1st video, right from the start, you can see exactly that approach: using this kind of camera as a serious B-cam tool (Osmo Pocket 3) in commercial work, very close to the way I have also been using small capture devices in a similar role, as mentioned before.
    • Here is the confrontation  young upstart Kubrick had with an established cinematographer re different focal lengths ,that Mercer is referring to.Kubrick is known as a "single camera director" but used multiple cameras sometimes like in the war room sequences of "Dr Strangelove.".He often shot a scene more than 30 times to reduce the artificial acting and get the performers displaying raw emotion.Not much use have fabulous cinematography if the acting is not up to it,the audio is poor or the story dull and boring.      
    • Feature films have the "luxury" of being able to shoot one scene with multiple cameras,focal lengths and perspectives-if it is beneficial to do so.Master & Commander has an extra on this ,five cameras  A to E with a range of focal lengths used,including  17.5,27mm,35mm,40mm,50mm,75mm and 100mm including at least one zoom lens.Shot on Super 35 format.Whatever focal length and perspective to tell the story can be chosen in the edit.
