  1. I would assume that these lenses are in mm according to a 35mm camera. I have purchased a MIR 37mm, and when it arrives, I will certainly let you know.
  2. I think soon enough, we will start seeing some really good stuff from the "DSLR" crowd. It is getting to the point where the world will be saturated with great gear. It soon will be easy to get a set of good cameras together, and make a film. Those of us that are truly passionate about filmmaking I'm sure will start to do some high caliber stuff once the dust settles. I for one am still in school, so I'm learning a lot of storytelling and technical stuff. I also see this as a time to collect a set of tools and learn how to use them, so when I'm done with school, I can take a crack at  my own film.
  3. For GH2? I use two of the 16GB Sandisks. [url=http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/90/sandisk-extreme-sdhc-cards/p1]http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/90/sandisk-extreme-sdhc-cards/p1[/url] They are some of the only cards that work with the high bitrate GOP1 patches (which are the best patches IMO).
  4. At that length (quite short), there is no reason not to use the best. Venture on to the Personal-View forum, and check out the latest LOW GOP thread, or the patch vault thread. User Driftwood has various flavors of GOP1 (i.e. AVC INTRA) patches that are simply the best. You will need Sandisk Extreme Pro class 10 cards IIRC, but it is 100% worth it. Other than that, user Cbrandin has excellent long-GOP patches (which should work with a variety of cards). Not as good IMO, but still very solid patches which significantly improve upon unhooked image quality.
  5. I have been unable to get 5DtoRGB working correctly. While it is not free, it is cheap, I use: ClipWrap (quite speedy at rewrapping .mts files in a .mov wrapper, AND excellent for converting to various ProRes flavors). 5DtoRGB seems to be generally suggested for Adobe suite users, as it converts to DNXD or whatever its called.
  6. LOVE your patches! They make the GH2 a surefire lifetime member of my arsenal.
  7. This is some of the best news in YEARS. If I had to pick ONE lens that I absolutely wanted a manufacturer to make, it would have been an all new anamorphic. If I had to pick ONE company to make it and do it right, it would've been ZEISS. I hope these lenses confirm the large interest in anamorphics among the DSLR crowd, because if there's one thing that confirmed interest seems to do fairly quickly, it seems to create lots of new interest-satiating products. A healthy plethora of new-generation anamorphics would be amazing, especially with the GH cameras' 2x crop making "wide" a bit difficult to pull off at times. GOP1 on the GH2 already has buckets of tastiness that I'm absolutely satisfied with, but I can tell that the right lenses would make this tiny camera unbeatable for what I'm after. while Zeiss can be a tad on the clinical side of things, I think the very nature of anamorphic lenses will provide the user with ample means of combating their surgical aesthetic. I have no doubt that, should the Zeiss sharpness be what you want from these lenses, they will deliver. But any anamorphic, if provoked (especially with aggressive light sources), WILL show organic character. If I had to make one prediction, I'd say Zeiss will probably offer them with "flare" and "Zeiss look" coatings (if not right away, further down the road).
  8. Holy Sweet Mother of All Things Glorious! Too bad they're only rentable, sounds like . . . but still . . . They'll be on the budget for any films that I plan to do, that's for sure! And "compact zooms" oh, savory goodness. I hope  there's something from WIDE (16/17mm) to out past GH2 "normal" (25mm) . . . if there is, and it is under f2.8, I'll buy it, however much it costs. Zeiss seems to be pretty committed to nog going stagnant
