I guys i have Mac pro 4.1 12 gb quad core build early 2009.

yes that is the beauty of Yashica prines they work on full frame canon and on micro 4/3 Panasonic camera

 

so you only need one set of primes like me if you shoot panasonic and canon

 

just buy a Contax Yashica to Canon EF adaptor off ebay for your 5D etc

 

 

if you go done this route please do consider the superb Carl Zeiss 28-70mm vario sonar zoom

it is C/Y mount like the Yashicas and is a very very sharp lens with a 3d type pop to it !! aspheric elements and its small and light for a zoom

YASHICA ML prime lenses are superb , Im shooting on them all the time now

 

Zeiss Distagon equivilants , superb contrast , very sharp and available on ebay

 

24mm 28mm 35mm 50mm 135mm all superb lenses made in same factory as the Zeiss Distagons in Japan (I cant tell the differance)

 

get a Contax Yashica (C/Y) to micro 4/3 adaptor off ebay and you are done

 

also the Carl Zeiss 80mm Biometar is a stunning lens get that aswell and you have a superb set of primes with out breaking the bank

Andy i am actualy thinking YASHICA ML prime since price is right but would there be any issue with full frame cameras i am wating to buy black magic 4k what adapter would i need micro 4/3 adaptor? and would same adapter work on canon body.

Thanks

so you conveted you raw file to dng and then converted dng to tiff and tiff to pro res  hq am i righ here? what did ytou use to convert raw to dng?

Thanks

Thanks for reply Bioskop i know i am limited with 60d ML just  want to play with raw before buying 4k camera this summer i got 11sec on 1152x768 raw. Do you use raw in 60d setting or jpeg and using higher bitrate  with h264 what is the difference? And how would you make your raw file usable for editing do you converte them first?

Thanks

I think i will wait for some time and see what NAB brings out

thanks guys

Hi guys i need some sereous help. I benn experimenting with my 60d and raw shooting i menage to get 20 sec JPG  and 20 sec of 1152x648  raw i can get more if go down in resolution  Since i am shooting on my bausch and lomb anamorphic 2x what is the best resolution here for me when it comes to squeezing my anamorphic and not loosing resolution i mean is 2x less then 648 res or should i go for maximum resolution that i can get

Thanks guys

Thanks guys

Hi guys i am hawing a issue in windows vlc after typing my ratio 2x squeeze which is 3.551 in vlc tools preference video force aspect ration after i save it my aspect ratio does not change at all or my 3.55:1 is not saved in video aspect ration many any ideas

love it and i hate flares its just takes you away when lighty is jumping and flashing.

I think sliders are way over priced i made my own for 100 with ball bearings for wheels then i have two 6ft  pipes for tracks it can support so my big anamorphic ass lens and cage with no problem and i made it portable it does not look professional but its gets the job done just like the 699 dollars one and it glides dam nice and smoth and i can make it any length.  It takes some time to set up but its super awsome

I also ordered small motor that i will use to motorize the slider

so you can only preview it on hdmi monitor and not your lcd screen on camera. And where exactly do you go in the seating in ml to do this

thanks

it si konica ar what do you mean if it is the flange focal distance is 40.50 mm so it wont work on a Canon which is 44mm FFD so it might not work and how do i find out. This lens will fit on nikon adapter but it wont lock

thanks

here is the image i have nikon mount it fits but it dioes bnit lock so it loose  here is the image

thanks

Hi guys i got my self vivitar 135mm lens auto telephoto vintage one i have 60d canon i am wondering what adapter i would need to use this lens on canon body.

What i do now is i set my project to pro res 422 and then i go to motion tab aspect ration set to -100 to get my anamorphic. I just want to know if i am dong right here.

Thanks guys

sankor is nice and smalle i sold my after test because image quiality is ok to blurry and soft went with big lens Bausch & Lomb one of the sharp lenses i have and it cost me 60 wher sankor 350 sold it for 300 my 50 cent or 2

crap o'vision that's gona be the name of my production company. i can smell the money

For people who can afford latest and grates of course 60d will be crap but for others who cant not so.

i use to be technology this and that buy shit thinking i need it like i need air but year down the road what did i shoot? did i get creative with all that gear BIG FAT NO

A notrious error. It's true, Boyle used the XL1, a 4:3 miniDV (only the XL2 had a 16:9 sensor), but mot DV. He captured the raw signal from a modified camera.

I did not know this you sir have corrected me did he use ML;)

remember that blockbuster film 28 day by some director named  Danny Boyle ;)  shoot on xl1s first generation miniDV instead of 35mm film and the film was dam good just shows you technology hacks and 4ks is nice but the art of story telling and cinematography is better

Wow, after some googling I found a working link http://videobam.com/KBArS to the Red short. They may as well have gotten Tommy Wiseau to make them a film. It's an excellent example of having all the tech and none of the skill. The camera isn't everything. 

That link takes me to porn advertisement and i can tell you that porn looks better the that red dress video

This video really shows what you can do if you apply yourself with the tools in hand.

I recently shot a music video for a friend in RAW with my 60D & well, "Pain In The Arse" doesn't even come close to describing my feelings.

Shooting a few RAW snaps of your cats, random [street] stuff, flowers or your kid etc... & then posting just doesn't get close to how much extra unnecessary hassle it really is for a proper project.

As far as i'm concerned, if its for web delivery then i'm still going to grab my 60D first without any hesitation, as i know that i can get exactly what i want in-camera & then all i have to do is tweek it a tiny bit in post.

 

IMHO if you are of the mentality that says "we'll just fix it in post", then you really should be spending that wasted time learning how not to get yourself into that position in the first place.

 

Am going to film a short doc with the Pocket (ProRes - as RAW can go F**K ITSELF!), but i just know that it won't be as straight forward a process as using my 60D.

so you shoot raw with 60d how many frames did you get and what card did you use? thanks
