    I was tempted to buy from Samy's but they do charge tax, around $116. I called B&H and they said a shipment is coming on January 20, so hopefully for us on back order this will finally be it.

    Thanks for your nice words tony! 
     
    I think the bolex are the most beautiful/practical lenses behind the iscorama 36... it has a 3 feet minimal focus or less, amazing flares and that film tonality that we are all looking for.
     
    I wouldn´t sell mine for less than 3000 Euros, i just love it.
     
    Rudolf, with which anamorphic adapter are you trying to pair your lenses? All my lenses are Canon Fd´s in mint condition and with them it works just perfect.  I also have an Isco ultra star plus ( Red) 1,75x and it is SUPER sharp with the same lenses. 
     
    Here i leave you a couple of frames of a video that im working on at the moment with my Isco

    Because the Scarlet is even more expensive, not as good in low light, not a full frame sensor nor does is it as good a stills camera.
     
    I am in the 1D C camp but it could have been much better.
     
    25p, $8k instead of $12k, HD-SDI and articulated screen... But then Canon are conservative.

    Canon 1 DX is the best full frame DSLR right now. Period.
     
    Its 2 stops better than 5D3..and much sharper. Almost as sharp as a C300.
     
    It's big brother, the 1 DC (availible December 26th) has the slow mo you wish for + it's the best stills camera (DSLR) in the world.

    You can't compare the 'ludicrousness' of 11 stops of dynamic range recorded in 8-bit at 50Mbps to 13 stops of dynamic range recorded in 12-bit raw at 1.1Gbps.  Sorry, you just can't.

    Mondo reacted to Andrew Reid in SlashCAM conclude Blackmagic Cinema Camera review, compares to Canon C300   
    Look it really is time to nail this argument down so hard it can never get up again.
     
    By your logic Super 16mm which is a 2.7x crop is also ludicrous. OK but didn't stop The Queen, Black Swan and Moonrise Kingdom being made on it. They're some of the best looking films I've seen in the past 2 years if not THE best looking.
     
    Remind me of the advantages of a full frame sensor. So you can defocus everything apart from a tiny sliver of hair? Oh please... It looks rubbish. This is not cinema. In low light at fast apertures, my 5D Mark III makes focus unmanageable at close distances. You cannot shoot a film this way.
     
    Like I say if a 2.7x crop is good enough for Darren Aronofsky then 2.3x is good enough for you. Super 16mm films have won multiple Oscars throughout history and nobody complained about the lack of shallow DOF or the film stock being ludicrous! Do you realise how silly it sounds?
     
    It isn't even a 2.3x crop factor over the C300. It is a 1.6x crop versus the C300 which is what you are comparing it to, not a photographic camera with a video mode tacked on the back.
     
    Super 35mm - the cinema standard - is not the same as full frame.

    Hey guys,

    I've run a recording studio for about 15 years now, and find myself running into the same issues over and over again. I've also been giving the same speech for about as long, and thought I'd compile it into a short "how to" video for YouTube.

    Bring your sense of humor, as I don't pull any punches.

    Shot on a GH2, ISCO Ultra-Star, and 37mm Mir.

    Mondo reacted to Jon de Zwaan in solid zoom lens?   
    Remember the GH2 has the EX tele conversion mode. It's very useful when shooting in decent light, so with one prime you actually have two focal lenghts available.

    Otherwise I have to agree with the others, there are no cheap zoom lenses that offer the same iq as decent fast primes.

    If you're able to spend a bit more money you could take a look at the Tokina 28-70mm f2.8. It's a bit long on the wide end, but it has constant aperture and is not that expensive.

    Another option is to dig into c-mount lenses. There are plenty of dirt cheap fast tv-zooms, but most of the time you'll need to modify the mount and use the EX tele mode, because of the vignetting.

    Good luck!

    It's just a matter of how you hold it. For handheld I cup my camera and focus underhand when using that lens rather than go for an overhand motion using my thumb and index finger. It just takes practice really.

    Jeez! I don't get why [i]anyone's [/i]raving about this. It still looks so... video. Panasonic evidently haven't heard any of our complaints about the last generation. It looks like something you shoot reality TV for Channel 4 with. It is absolutely not what I was hoping for. Was looking for an alternative Alexa b-cam. But hey - Panasonic, maybe the GH4'll be worth writing home about, eh?[i] [/i]

    This has to be a troll post right? Alexa B-cam? for $1299? HAHAHAHA!

    They didn't listen to complaints? I'd say they answered most of them

    -Build quality
    -Weatherproofing
    -codec
    -1080p 60
    - Low light performance

    I can't see anything to complain about for $1299.
