  1. I can confirm SIGMA 35mm 1.4 is very nice, although I had backfocus problems from the start. Thanks god for micro adjustment on 5dmk3 which solved the problem. I've also bought sigma usb dock mount cause I'm pretty sure I'll be buying more sigmas in the future! ;) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CBQ5YOS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  2. Isn't rokinon 24mm the same as samyang 24mm which has a lot of distortion according to Andrew? edit: ahhh, Andrew was talking about 14mm. What about distortion in 24mm version? Is it better?
  3. While I agree Hasselblad is a joke with those sony's cameras I don't agree about MD being dead. In terms of Image quality FF can't touch it.
  4. I think it's going in the direction of what happened with a photography industry and what I described in the previous post.
  5. I liked it but isn't ~2:52 a little bit noisy for iso 5000? I'd think it was 12800.
  6. I bought it. Don't have time to read it now but it looks nice. LOL @ ppl complaining about the price or that Andrew is profiting in any way from his own work.
  7. I don't think 20 is a lot, just saying in a month time it may be out of date but pretty sure everything will be kept up to date in the forums. Will buy.
  8. Neat idea but is it going to be updated with new developments? As we know, everything is still in early development stage and a lot of stuff may change.
  9. What about if you prove to yourself you can make shtty movie that earns millions and then do your creative niche movie that makes you even more millions? It's hard too say your creativity is worth something if you can't make standard successful kitschy movie where you don't need creativity. First know the rules, then brake them.
  10. lol, actually, quality of home cooking is at least 10x higher than in restaurant for the same price. Belive it or not.
  11. Top of the line is E7 Xeons processors family. Apple is gonna use E5 in the future so they will never be top of the line ;). I know computer is not just CPU but peederj  said: "As for cost, if you look at the history of Mac Pro's...and I know hackintoshers will REALLY hate this point, but it's true...Apple buys Xeons and GPUs in such quantity that you can't match the launch price of a Mac Pro for the same spec no matter how much labor you're willing to take on to yourself. You can't. The Xeons alone cost you nearly the price of the whole Mac Pro"
  12. So at the time of the launch the strongest single 6 core CPU offered by mac was W6380 (3.33GHz) according to wikipedia. At the time of the launch it cost 1100USD (then price fell to around 600 today - http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+W3680+%40+3.33GHz&id=1274 ). What was the price of the MAC PRO with this CPU? Around 1100USD? I doubt that. 1500USD? Please send me some links now to back up your talk. Instead of talking without any reliable data next time you post something I'd like to see links that back up your talk. Inconvenient truth about apple is that apple is ripping you off (Price of CPU falls by 50% and u still pay the same price - amazing!). Sorry I'm not going to spend time discussing about crippleware just because you say they don't. I've already spent time looking for historical data about XEONs just because you simply wrote one liner about how apple buys millions of CPUs so they get XEONS almost "for free" without any data confirming it. There was a thread about apple in the past when I wrote a little bit what I think about apple. Maybe someone will link you to it. If not, search. It's a simple forum. If I write apple sucks and that's inconvenient truth about apple does it have any merit??? No. Same with your talk about Xeons.
  13. Had some time to waste so I looked it up: Quad Core 2.4 around 350$: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=W3565&LH_BIN=1&_osacat=164&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR4.TRC0.A0&_nkw=E5620&_sacat=164 Xeon 2.4 6 core : http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313.TR5.TRC1.A0&_nkw=E5645&_sacat=0&_from=R40 - 550$     Checked another cpu 6 core 3.33GHz. New one for 650$: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Xeon-UP-W3680-3-33-GHz-Processor-Socket-B-LGA-1366-BX80613W3680-/350697339131?pt=CPUs&hash=item51a730b8fb then I checked cheapest Mac pro with this cpu: http://www.ebay.com/sch/Desktops-AllInOnes-/171957/i.html?_nkw=mac+pro+six+core&_frs=1 2300USD   Please enlighten me. I must be doing something wrong. Where is Mac pro with 6 core 3.33GHz for around 650$? I'm buying it!! Your talk about crippleware is similarly off as your talk about Xeons. Information about what Xeons are in mac pros I found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Pro#Processors
  14. btw. MAC OSX version of Resolve 10 supports OPENCL, windows version doesn't. Any clue when they'll include support in windows version? http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/uk/products/davinciresolve/compare
  15. I meant IF this design actually significantly improves cooling of the components others will follow. Yeah, I probably exaggerated because there is nothing special in this product other than design.
  16. This is the only sentence I agree with :D ;). No point derailing the thread though so I'll stop here. Anyway, I think it will be shorterm hype (if at all) just because it will probably be overpriced. Competition will catch up very fast and make it cheaper and better.
  17. As with all apple products: nice design. Knowing the history of apple I wouldn't be getting excited until they release it. Their marketing has always been top notch.. and their products overpriced and crippled in some way. Maybe they've changed, who knows (not likely though ;)).
  18. tbh, I don't get why everybody gets so excited about it. If any of us had this camera we'd make video similar to this one cause there is nothing complicated in it. Very basic stuff. It's cool cause most ppl don't own these slow mo cameras, that's it.
  19. Yeah, I was thinking about other art lenses that has been out for a while (like 35mm)
  20. Has anyone tested one of those sigma art lenses with speedboster? I can't find anything on the web.
