Emanuel reacted to MrSMW in Blackmagic Micro Cinema Super Guide and Why It Still Matters
Is that level of haze/smog a regular thing in Seoul?
If so, makes it a very cinematic city to work in!

Here's a little clip from a balfolk dance last weekend, shot on BMMCC with the Sigma 18-35 and speedbooster.

Last set of stills from Seoul. We took a walk through backstreets and alleyways down to the river, stumbling across a tiny neighbourhood railway crossing...

And for the other 0.1%, may I offer you a very warm welcome to the forum.

I didn’t realise you had an OF channel.
Where can I find it?

Of course content is the key
When you watch on Onlyfans would u care if they shoot on iPhone or Pro grade camera? I think 99.9% users of OF don't care. 😉
Anyway I moved from Sony FX3 to Canon R7 this year as my personal main cam. Most client couldn't careless, and image quality wise most won't tell the difference except that low light which I hardly shoot.

I'm also a fan of acquiring in 6K and delivering in a lower resolution. Plenty of room to crop in.

As somebody that shoot mostly in 8k RAW with R5 (now replaced with the R5 II) and R5c I do strongly disagree with the above sentence.

Yeah that is your opinion, I also shoot occasional 8k for virtual production or those showing on big LED
And 8K is needed for VR applications, those 6k 360 cam is not really sharp for Vision Pro..
Raw on the other hand I rarely use it so it must be gimmick 😉

If you rent equipment, or if you sometimes use the employer's equipment that is also used by others, I would imagine it can be a frequent problem. Certainly going from Nikon (my own equipment) to Olympus, Panasonic or Fuji can take some time to get everything set up properly and this is (kind of) an unnecessary complexity. The more rarely you use a particular type of gear, the more difficult it can be to remember the thinking behind each make and model. The manufacturers try to make switching difficult and staying within-brand easy (as a part of vendor lock-in) and so the nomenclature and menus evolve in different directions in each brand compared to others. Which brand of camera is used for a task may not be in the operator's control.

Even the Menu structure of the OG BMCC was great.
But yeah, I agree. Cameras that are marketed as cine cameras or cine cameras for the ambitioned con-/pro-sumer should offer some sort of video-menu-mode with a reduced structure and only relevant settings. As much as I like the VLOG-Files from my S1, the Menu is bloated when it´s being used primarily as a video-camera.

Sure, it should arrive tomorrow, sold my R5 last week.

Emanuel got a reaction from Juank in iPhone 15 Camera Update - Released
Not affiliated at all for sure but found this one a no-brainer, as usual BTW coming from that usual suspect, kudos to him actually:

Who here too?
These manufacturers we're used to praise here other than - maybe - a few if any?
(for some reason Blackmagic cameras are a graceful exception with their intuitive user interface)
...are killing the pleasure of photography.
This is a science and art born a way before these idiots have been born.
We only need three commands to control aperture, shutter speed and sensitivity.
Eventually a SINGLE menu for electronic/feature/recording modes when applicable such as AF, stabilization, etc., and that's it! Full stop.
Other than that, go to hell with your bloody menus!
End of story.
Users need time for the craft in order to develop creative skills and create stuff, not handling electronics strictly proper of a moron or a geek in the photography world.
Pick one but don't call yourself a shooter.

OG BMMCC + 12-35mm F2.8 lens + IR/UV filter + vND + monitor + wrist-strap and that's it. 🙂

Says the guy who research a lot of cameras 😆
I am definitely keen to try filming in super 8 though, should be simple compare to modern camera? Just the film is expensive to buy and develop and only 3 min for each roll.

Very nice. I like the framing of some of these. It's great you brought it along. Good to have in your pocket.
It's too bad that BM doesn't just make it again. Doesn't need to even be 4K, just needs to be good and small.

Colors and textures smoke the S line cameras imho under ambient and natural light. Great stills! @kye So cool and really worth it that you brought your little cinema camera with you! I bet you are having tons of fun with your footage. I still got 4 hours of Bmpcc clips from this summer to go through. It's an honest low light camera, giving you what the eye can see btw.

Will be using mine tomorrow, not my p2k but the micro again. It has been a year or so since the last time. I'm charging batteries and cleaning lenses right now, a bit late to the party, silly me.😊
Exited to see more from you and to read about your adventures! @kye What lens did you use at the tea museum, the 12-35? I am wondering if @mercer has rebought a m2k again. Does @TomTheDPplay around with one or is the Alexa his only dual gain baby?
What I absolutely love about the og pocket and the micro are textures, motion and highlight rolloff. Just sayin.😊

Shot with the BMMCC in Myeongdong for 2.5 hours in the (light) rain today. It's a trooper. Images barely graded as usual.
and a POV pic of the setup.
I might have gone a touch dark on the grade, but these were just taken from checking dailies to catch any tech or usage issues.
I think I'm getting the hang of this.

I tested a "1/8 Tiffen Black Promist" but still didnt remove the moire. And even though only 1/8 it gives a certain look that I didnt want baked in, rather add blooming in post if I want that.
I saw a video on Youtube where someone used a olpf from a Canon 300D, I tried it on both OG Pocket and BMMCC and works great without any colorcast and almost remove any type of moire from what I've seen so far. But the image gets softer, most noticable on wider shots, but can be sharpened in post.
Here's a breakdown of installing the filter (one filter can be cut in half and then perfectly fits pocket/micro):
(the material used for the "frame" around the filter is adhesive Black-wrap (aluminium tape)

Altcine did olpfs that was cheaper than Rawlite, but I think he said they wont be making another batch:

Gangnam. It's all glitz and glam and occasionally quite disorganised telephone pole wiring, but it's no backstreets of Yongsan, which I'd take any day of the week over this.
