  1. I'm looking for a lens like this with a constant fast aperture. What are the good options with an aperture ring possibly? It'll used on the NX1 with manual focus so newer AF versions are not important.

    the Sigma 24-70 will give you a great usable range , 24mm for your wides , 40mm for your mids and 70mm for your close ups ,you can shoot 90% of a movie with that set up ! or put my favourite Nikon 28-70 f2.8 on it

    These look they can replace all the primes I use... how much does it cost? Sigma is sharper or the same as Nikon?

  3. I dont have the 16-50S, way out of my budget unfortunatelly, these were all with Samyang 24mm f1.4 and Samyang 14mm f2.8. All of them are videoframes, even though the last ones dont have the black bars, thats because I forgot to add them.

    Try to buy the "part" for $650 :) 

  4. I had promised myself not to post any more screens without actually posting a video, but I couldnt resist start grading some new stuff. I promise Ill post this video this week :3

    they're great, still 16-50S?

  5. Wrap stabilizer cannot work with proxies of different resolution. You can do all the editing with proxies and apply the warp stabilizer at the end after you moved to the original files. 

    I haven't experienced any other issues with lower resolution proxies. Is there anything else?

    If you set an upscale won't it upscale also the original files when you replace them?

  6. Hi,
    now that Premiere supports h.265 I'm far away from my modern desktop PC which could handle 4k editing and I'm stuck with my slow notebook and I need to edit these 4k nx1 files. Even though my CPU supports h.265 HW decoding Premiere does not so not even the simple playback is possible.
    I tried to convert in 4k prores and h.264 but the result is similar, I was thinking to edit in maybe 720p mpeg2, the problem is AFAIK Premiere has always caused problems with proxies for projects at different resolutions. I remember that if you create a 720p project with 720p proxy files than you can't later convert it in 4k with 4k native files the opposite goes if you edit 720p files in a 4k project (upscaled) and then replace the footage, you would create problems with effects like warp stabilizer.

    So do you have suggestions?

  7. Regarding 1), you can go by feeling which is probably not really accurate. What I do is set it to wide open and look at shutter speed & ISO, then I close down and count the stops by watching how the shutter speed and/or ISO changes. Is obviously takes a few seconds to set, depending on how quick you're with maths in your head. Another pragmatical possibility would be to just set the ISO fixed or set the AutoISO to the maximal acceptable value and then disregard f/stop and just open and close as much as possible without going into the underexposure warning.

     

    I've seen the Samsung 18-200mm used in like new condition for 400 € yesterday on a German photography forum. I guess seeing how you're so sure you need a lens like that I'd rather bite the bullet and get a good priced used one than use an adapted superzoom with manual focus.

    I tried to find it used but seems like nobody has it for sale! The first tip is great thanks :)

  8. Hi,
    I'm looking to use multi purpose manual lenses in Nikon mount for NX1 for pictures. Like a 18-200mm from Sigma (because the native Samsung's is too expensive/discontinued) and I'm having problems with the following:

    1) how do you set a specific apertures like f/8 if you just have a ring on the adapter?
    2) is it possibile to get manual focus peaking always on instead of pressing the "set" button every time?
