Same here for those f/2... Totally agree, but you're still able to find them for $100 :- )

I have the 35mm f/1.9 as well. Both of ours are probably made by Komine for Vivitar. Does your serial number start with 28XXX? Great lens. I also have the 24mm f/2 and the 28mm f/2 from the same time period both made by Kiron for Vivitar: Series 1 I only have the Bokina and the 135mm f/2.3. I think these will start to be creeping up in price soon due to people finally finding them. : )

This new video from Connor is helpful to me. Nice little rundown of a lot of the main crop modes. He was nice enough to include a link to download all the files so if anyone wants to play, check out the link below.
A couple of things if noticed while reviewing footage and doing more research about the S1Rii, the color fidelity really does look good, I’m really liking this sensor so far. Kind of crazy how good the 4.2.0 files look compared to the 4.2.2 and Prores. Also there is mention a few places that the new IBIS is so good that it might be helping to counteract the slower readout speeds. Would be quite the development if that ended up being why the 24ms doesn’t look bad to most people…

 
 

I've written that having any camera is "good enough" and video creatives should just go to work and make stuff?
That wasn't really possible with the D90.  Lord knows I tried.  Totally f'ed up a shoot with Stan Lee trying to make that thing work. Ooops.

When considering the big picture perspective of Nikon's history, let's not forget:
Nikon D90 => the first ever DSLR with video capabilities. 
Nikon D500 => the first ever (non-cine) DSLR with 4K video capabilities. 
Nikon D5200 => a banger of a FHD DSLR for a low low price:

"refocus" 😉
Yes, seeing Nikon level AF coming to the future RED cameras will be nice.  

I'm tempted to buy a Z6 III with an E-mount adapter for the Sigma 28-45mm F1.8.
Would prefer to have a native option.

Mine is more like this:

 
 But came with less vegetables.

Lacks NDs, maybe if it had that then I'd call the FX30 "2025's C100". 
Perhaps it's more accurate to call the C70 "today's C100"? Either that or the FX6 itself. (although I'd say the FX6 is closer to today's C300mk1 than a C100)
Maybe the FX30 is more like "today's Canon 60D" (the FX30 today is only a couple of hundred dollars more expensive than the inflation adjusted release price of the 60D was) 

Man, do we meet? When? ; ) Tomorrow I will meet some Polish EOSHD user I crossed my life with over these same pages. He will be with his Fuji and I will be with my FX30 and some vintage glass, that is, if I will locally find an adapter till tomorrow... I am done with Amazon's local courier (CTT Express failed their delivery for today!).
Any pics from those setups BTW?
PS: Andrew could organise a meeting for those users interested to test my spoken English skills! LOL ;- )

Wonder how many of them are still there?

@Emanuel RS in 6K/4K 60p full frame is around 15.5ms, so pretty good and not an issue for most scenarios. I am not fond of the 22ms in 24p 8k/4k, especially not the latter. What I could take away from the online footage is a lush creamyness of textures which I really like, high resolution without oversharpening.

We could meet in Berlin, though I have mostly done photo safaris but hardly any video rides with friends. I went on a cinema verité tour by myself last year for a couple of days, with my og pocket and a 25mm Cmount lens. S1H with the Vivitar 90mm and a tripod is rather something for a single filmer expedition I imagine and a rather unsocial affair of carrying and sweating heavily:)@Emanuel
Hardly any videos on youtube from the 10bit fullframe league by Sony, Canon and Panasonic have wowed me. Nikon Z6III looked awesome in the skating video. A real stand out regarding motion, texture and colour. I also admired some Canon R7 videos for their colour. I'm interested to see how the S1RII will be put to use. Panasonic had one impressive launch video for the GH6 from a french director which was a true showcase. All the other GH6 videos were again rather generic imho.

I got the Vivitar 1 alteration of the Bokina. I'd call it the steelhammer version. It is so robust and tough. Mine has a ca 1/3" × 1/4" × 1/4" chunk of steel chipped off miraculously by a former owner, maybe in a steelhammer manner. It still operates like a charm. This lens is crazy regarding built. What a beasty lens. I have only used it once or twice many years ago. I must change that. Which Viv I lenses do you have? @Ninpo33We could do a Vivitar cinema verité piece or any kind of video and share it here.
I got the Bokina and a Vivitar 35mm 1.9, which I wouldnt consider in the same league as the Bokina. I'm pretty sure the 35mm is not a lens from the I series. The 28mm F2 looks beautiful. Must be a pleasure to hold and use.
It's a shame I left that gem collecting dust. As it comes to my mind, I even have a converter for it, changing it into a 60 or 65mm lens. This lens is a good reason for some solid tripod fun!
Back to topic. If the S1RII has a creamy look like a C500II with absence of oversharpening, it could be a tempting prospect of Gas. Better not.:)

Funnily enough, just found some pics from that evening. Days of innocence (kinda).

Why did RED Hydrogen fail?
Cost? It wasn’t that much more expensive than the top iPhone of its day.
Android rather than iOS? (Possibly the most significant reason I never used it as a phone - the photographs I took were fun).
The pre-sale hyperbole made it too easy to criticise?
Insufficient info relating to the expansion pins and the so-called (and never developed) cinema grade camera module?
Poor choice of manufacturer (who apparently promised more than they were able to deliver)?
Lack of mainstream interest/awareness of H4V/3D?
The in-built camera was certainly no better than other cameras in phones - immediately depriving it of any perceived advantage of being a RED? Expectation.
JJ’s habit of promising a rose garden (albeit inhabited by skulls) then problem after problem, waiting upon waiting… rather than low-key developing, low-key manufacturing and Big Hype delivering.
Design wise it was stunning. It received regular and significant updates. Yet it failed dismally. What lessons are there for any other camera manufacturer thinking along similar lines?
Don’t bother?

Their first 40mm 1.8 doesnt have L mount and have noisy AF, but seems that is all fixed up.
Just waiting for actual lens review on L mount camera before I jumped the ship

That's why the sales and marketing guys all burn out.
They don't have that underlying passion or talent for art, cinema, photography...
They get a kick from the affiliate links, channel building, glossy presentation, studio sets and meeting other influencers so that they can social network, and build further influence.
That's where Gerald spends his time rather than getting a kick out of pointing his camera at stuff.
 

Interesting fact - everybody thought they did the billboard stuff with Ai, but in fact they had to do it frame by frame themselves. Nice bit of film making, in my always humble opinion.

I mean, she can stand up in a car, but she ain't Sydney Sweeney.
 

@Emanuel I also love my FX-30. It just came back from 2 months in the camera hospital (a whole other story) but I just love that thing. A beautiful sensor and lovely ergonomics. And so relatively cheap! The C100 of its days.

That Osmo Pocket 3 is one of the most interesting devices I've ever owned, practically with me for everywhere and always ready for a ride like a crazy bitch! : ) Don't quote me, just a bot! ;- )

DJI do make cameras, they don't just try.  The Osmo Pocket 3 is, from what I've heard, one of the most popular cameras on the planet these days.  The Ronin 4D is also pretty excellent and the "chicken head" camera is becoming a staple on productions, both from low budget scrubs like me to Hollywood films that will play in theaters nationwide.

Even a Viltrox lens looks good thanks to her!
