    • Hang on, if we have that coffee next week I’m not obliged to buy a camera off you am I? You’re not turning Costa into some sort of camera Herbalife recruitment centre are you?

    • I'll return to Lubezki's work.  Feeling the same vibes.  The stuff he does with Cuarón, and overall in general I guess, really nurture the deep dof. Here's a film he shot in my back yard.  I can literally see the location from my office -- which I still get a kick out of being able to 'name-drop'   As an indy documentarian, I gotta say, I can't really get completely behind this notion, but I do think I know what you're getting at and why useage-context with a camera is important.  I just came off a project where the cinematographer was leaving an insane amount of shots and potential in the field.  Why?  He was trying to wield a bunch of large production shit on an full-fledged ARRI set up rather than just shooting good extensive coverage with a small simple rig.  Yes, sometimes what he got looks great.  But, trust me, what he missed (and missed often) had better potential.  You can chalk some of it to him not being that spry anymore ... which to me would demand you go light and small to mitigate that, but he is definitely a boy-with-his-toys kind of guy rather than a remarkable creative.  Wants to have the best most powerful super car, even if he can't drive it, y'know? Anyway, IQ superior?  Yes.  Practicality?  Debatable.  Which, coincidentally, practicality is the DP's argument for the GH7 and a 12mm lens on this Magellan movie.  I kind of like the 'too-much-grain' treatment, but, yeah, it's a choice. Damn.  I'm rambling.  Too much wine tonight.
    • Sounds great!  Will definitely be getting fans for the cameras, at least for the first few long shoots and first few hot/full sun outdoor shoots.  Can't be too careful.  Might upgrade to the 17-40/1.8 later on, but almost certainly starting out with the 18-50/2.8.
    • Yup, I'll be using mostly adapted lenses for both cameras.  Thinking of picking up the EF 70-200/2.8 L IS II for the R8.  Already have the 50/1.8 STM and 55-250 STM, which I can't wait to use on the R7 for reach.  Thinking about the 17-55/2.8, too, but will probably just go for the Sigma 18-50/2.8 for the best AF performance.  Will also be picking up more weather-sealed Meike EF/RF adapters with the swappable VND/UV filters, as I like the one I got for my R50V.  Saves a lot of hassle carrying and swapping front-mounted VNDs.  And yes, already have a Sabrent 512GB V60 UHS-II card for my R50V, and I'll be picking up more for these cameras.  Regardless of positioning, Canon STILL forces the camera to shut off when the card door is opened. 🤦‍♂️
