Has anyone tried to hook up an A7s to a 'puter to test the 4k footage, is it even possible?

It doesn;t feel real to me using this camera and seeing imagery I am used to seeing taking up 2-5gb per minute, and it's doing it in 300mb/min!, and doesnt need transcoding to a editable format for workability on my 2 year old hackintosh.

You might feel a little different after grading 4k footage ;)

For me, I'm gonna wait a little while longer - at least until I see the Canon ship pull into port and what the ML magicians do with it

MFD is 1m and it works with 1.8/50mm

Its a dual focus attachment

Just look at the lens mount - it varies between 3-5 M2 screws. Strip the threads of them and you will have a 2.35:1 frown :(

I just picked up a brand new, boxed EOSM with 18-55 for €145 inc shipping from Germany.

Looking forward to running MLRAW on this

Bill, the rubber seals are from a hardware store, the tripod ring and rail support from ebay.

After August they will be $295

Suckers! :P

Anyway, once the MF speedbooster comes out the A7R/S will be a Leica and a Medium Format camera.

Bring it on!

We need 1.5x FF sensor width don't we? :P

Just follow the advice from this thread

when cleaning test a small area out of sight first.

That's the second in the series of six. Identified by the side baffles in the front optic; version one was all round.

Be careful opening it up - IIRC there are 61 ball bearings in the focusing system, 1/8" if you lose any :)

Also the inside coating is delicate - any rubbing will remove it.

I wish companies would start working on dynamic range, color science, rolling shutter, aliasing-moire free images, rather than on low-light. A 5D or GH4 or a Canon rebel is all I really need to shoot good images in extremely low-light.

I would favour a prism system similar to the old RGB in video cameras, except that instead of RGB there would be ND of 0 stop, 2 stop and 4 stop, which combined could give HDR video on the fly.

The 10-18 is on my hit list too :)

Desolation of Smaug Time 1:18

So was that a CGI Peter Jackson eating a carrot in the last one?

PB should have set his WB to 10K, to put the warmth back in, I am surprised he didnt do this ;)

What about member discounts? :P

Sure the coating plays its part, 

The scope is 2x when focused at INF

Step rings!

The 5D2/3 are the only 'affordable' cameras which will give you genuine full height CinemaScope using MLRaw. Its the real deal.

Construction of the inner tube goes like this:

The inside of the tube and the edge of the front optic is wetted with glue. The front optic is then inserted into the tube, followed by the front retaining ring which is screwed in.

The tube is stood vertically until dry/cured with the retaining ring acting like a shelf.

This is why when you see scopes with tool marks on the front retaining ring you know the skill level of the last tinkerer ;)

This scope is a very nice optic with pink flares. Yes pink, just like the pink floyd from lightning and plasma balls

Beware, the front optic is probably glued in with optical cement.

Those screws hold the rear cell at the correct distance and alignment.

Does anyone know of cheap option for single, portable, battery powered tube style lights?

 

Basically a battery powered fluro tube fixture that could be stuck on walls etc.

I am looking for some 2ft-3ft long, let me know when you hit paydirt

What about naked ladies?
