  1. Ive been waiting on BMD and changing my order to the pocket for the price I was willing to invest in their cameras at this point. But now Im actually looking into the Kineraw mini. Waiting on a full review from you for things like the false color (easy to remove?) Later today Im going to grab those frames and take a look.

     

    Im being given a pocket cam for  the full week but with the white orbs I have no idea what Im actually comfortable shooting with it. MIght throw the iscorama on it and see what it does to an anamorphic flare lol. But anyways just right now at this point today Im seriously considering this kineraw mini instead of dealing with the BMD BS

  2. Im sorry you have to expect this, that is a rediculous starting price for that lens, reminds me of the rollie version thats been on ebay close to a year or more. I wouldn't expect to sell that anytime soon.

     

    I paid close to 3k for mine and it came with like 2 sets of diopters and the holy grail Tokina +0.4 and that was earlier this year.

  3. if you are going that route Id look into the cheaper movi options that are coming available. Glidecam is pretty expensive still isnt it? There is that guy with the 2 axis stabilization Ive seen recently, would really work with a GH2 not for DSLR and a heavy lens.

  4. It is night and day, now I could have done a lot better but I had walked a lot that day with tons of gear and was a bit tired from sleeping on the ground the night before so I didnt do my best. I should do a test showing with and without...so much to do but I really recommend the pocket rig. It just looks and feels like you have a battery grip on your camera.

  5. I have never used that lens before but 85mm is a great focal length for a 2X anamorphic. I used a nikon 50mm 1.4D with it and it had a slight amount of vignetting...well slight being how far into frame but it was noticeable. The 58mm helios worked better and then on my nikon when I went into dx or crop mode it was great and thats around 80mm. I was just going through some nice video I shot with it while I was away, I can post something tomorrow maybe. Here is a still from video I shot on a fuji xe-1 crop sensor and nikon 50mm.

  6. Hi everyone, 

     

    So Im going to sell my Kowa 16H to fund a Trump lens, I got really good at the dual focus thing. This lens is in perfect shape, focus is smooth and I dont think there is any paint or exterior wear on it. I also have nice matching red stan clamps for attaching the lens to the taking lens and for attaching 72mm filters.

     

    Im only looking to recover my cost, $880 + shipping and this is not even including the cost of the clamps. IM a regular here and will not leave anyone high and dry also Im not charging the ridiculous amount that was recently posted.

     

    I paid about 625Euro for the lens and 70GBP for the clamps. Which works out to a little over $860CAD for the lens and $110 for the clamps.

     

    $960 - $80 = $880CAD

     

    Im dealing with canadian dollars so you may get a break depending on what currency you are working with.

     

    Here are some photos, I think Im going to miss the clamps even they are so well made. I'm going to use this lens as much as possible till its gone too. Let me know if you have any questions, I think I'm being reasonable on my asking price.

  7. This was the email I recieved, I will email him and ask if its out of beta so I can share a link or something.

     

    "Hi

    I'm sending this to you because you made a donation. There's a new
    version out, the first non-beta version, and I wanted donors to be the
    first ones to get it.

    What to expect:
    * Same colors (based on Portrait, so: better skin tones than with
    Neutral-based profiles)
    * Less noise in the shadows (I simplified the curve and raised the
    black point, I think this cleans up the shadows a little bit, please
    tell me what you think)
    * Similar DR (the camera won't give me any more), maybe slightly
    better in the highlights (very slightly), and also in the shadows if
    you think in terms of "usable"

    There's a difference for grading: I raised the black poing slightly,
    so you'll have to bring it down in post. This is what's giving me
    slightly cleaner shadows. It's not overdone, so it won't give you the
    noisy-midtones issue of Canon's CineStyle."

  8. Hey,

     

    1. I was more in the light then the wide shots, created more of a flare so I left them that way. The wider shots I was back next to a tree not getting the same cast of light.

     

    2. yes I did a bit of a stabilize in post and a bit of rolling shutter fixing. Well as much time as I wanted to spend on them anyways, my kit was small as I had to hike in 5-6Kms and 400 meter elevation and I sit on the computer all the time so Im out of shape dammit haha I just used the edelkrone pocket rig trying to rack with the isco so it still came out a bit shaky..

     

    I did the edit in premiere then exported the xml to resolve so that I could render clips with handles and then did all the sharpen, grain, CC and stabilizing work in Nuke, then back to premiere for final output.

  9. I had the BMD Hyperdeck shuttle 2 for some of it. I ended up selling it because I felt that you were not gaining enough quality for the cost and weight it added to the rig. Mostly this is all shot recording to the internal CF and SD slots. The flaat profiles were sent to me in an email as an update that seems to have reduces some really bad noise an mushy parts in the end. I'll try to find out if those are up yet they were send to me in may so it should be available. I think he sent them because I ended up paying for those other 2 versions the 9 and 13stops. I usually sty around the 10-11 range though.

  10. Some great footage shot from the hike up to Joffre Lakes / Matier Glacier. Shot mostly using my DSO lens and Iscorama Anamorphic lens. I had a great time and you get to see Kjeld slack line next to 2nd lake. Make sure to check it out in 1080P and let me know if you have any questions or CC
