    Pana-Leica 12-60 f2.8/3.5 Question

    Do those sync jobs really sync properly ?

    They'll hold time accurately down to the frame all day long from start to finish! Very very accurate, that is the entire point of time code boxes.

    Your recorder is TC capable, you should for sure get some time code boxes!

    I’m not seeing any dirt cheap Shoguns anywhere

    Sub $1K feels very cheap to me?

    Even sub $700!

    Sounds like you could use Plural Eyes for that part.


    Or Tentacle Syncs, seeing as they're so dirt cheap now (or even cheaper secondhand the older model):

    Or my personal favorite, Ultrasync ONE:

    I am using this mainly for concert or classical music recording (live or entire 5-20 min takes). I do not want to stop recording to refocus, as that results in too many clips to  resync with my audio recording (which is what I do professionally, the audio part).

     

     

    Which recorder do you use? (with what mics?)

    That same card is 99 euro here in Belgium (from 129 last week) but is way too slow for 4K prores. You still need a 128GB 300MB/s card (279 euro !) for that, giving only 41 minutes of prores LT (29 min Prores 422). How much is that for a 2h classical concert ?

     


    Ah true, I forgot for a moment my BMPCC needs the "cheaper" Extreme Pro cards (back in the day they were the most expensive version!!). 

    Well, a secondhand Atomos Shogun is very cheap now, get that and load it up with cheap and huge SSD drives :-D

    NX2 rumors

    Additionally, the NX1 had nothing to precede it, it was Samsung's first foray into the mirrorless market on the prosumer level. Now that the NX line has some brand recognition, in whatever form, I would suppose an "NX2" would gain a lot more traction this time around.

     

     

    Unfortunately, I predict that due to Samsung "abandoning" NX system in the past, that IF they released a NX2 in the future it would get less market traction than the NX1 did :-(

    1) The pessimists are those who have never had an NX1 in their hands;
    2) The optimists, that is, the enthusiasts who own an NX1 and are happy and satisfied, some of them sold the NX1 by switching to another camera but regrets the NX1.

    What about those in the middle ground between the two? :-D
    I've never owned a NX1, but I do own another NX system camera (sitting right here next to me as I type! Closest camera to me at the moment, only because the BMPCC is on the other side of the desk. Oh wait, does the iPhone on charge count instead as the 2nd closest camera? :-P ), because I got it cheap on eBay as a potential future  B cam to the NX1 which I was seriously considering buying as my next "main camera".

    Ok interesting, I never had any Sanon or Sony camera. So Canon and Sony shooters never manually focus. I remember this cam operator from Vice uk covering my training, he seemed to manually focus a 35mm canon L on a C300mkI, but I'm not sure.

    Was not unusual for C300mk1 owners to be shooting with adapted Nikon lenses, and the original C300mk1 didn't initially have DPAF

    But you can NOT handhold a B4 lens. Tripod, and a Damn good one at that, only. But you can buy what used to be a $10,000.00 lens or more, for around 75 bucks or more on eBay, Adorama, etc. But for that money most, well all, will have the zoom servo Not working unless you are lucky as hell. The motors in them just flat wear out over time. I am a bigger fan of Fujinon lens than any of the rest. But none of them is junk trust me.

    The $75 B4 lenses however would be SD quality, not HD lenses

    I just thought the BM 4K seems like a dead path (SD cards remaining quite expensive, and the thing eats them), while the 12-60 seems like a lens I will use the next 5 years.

     


    SD cards are super crazy cheap now in 2018:

    Microcenter in the USA is having a sale on 128GB SanDisk SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC UHS-1 U3 Class10 for only $35

    http://www.microcenter.com/product/482383/SanDisk_Extreme_Pro_SDXC_UHS-1_128GB

    Man I remember spending a small fortune on Extreme Pro 64GB cards for my BMPCC, so dirt cheap now for you lucky Americans!

    Not according to this video. It was at the bottom with Pentax.

     

     

    Camera Store TV thinks it is crap?

    Perfect! Now if everyone else in this thread can shut up about how good it might be, and instead go on about surely how total shit this camera must be, then @Mattias Burling will be certain to come along and review this camera with lots of reasons to convince us why it is an awesome camera! ;-)

    Still in the 60's. It is the last camera in the world 98% of the people would ever buy.


    I'd take a Pentax 645Z in a heart beat if offered at the right price!

    . But I have seen a few for less than a 1000 bucks body only.

    What the hell, for a RED ONE M? (not MX)?

    Good grief. I haven't seen it quite that low anywhere yet. $2K yes, but not sub $1K!

    Ha! But more seriously, if a person wants a very strong projector at a low cost maybe buy a cheapie then swap out for a stronger LED themselves??

    Wonder if we'll still be seeing features shot on a RED ONE in a decade from now?

    Any one here in this forum have first hand experience with the first version?

    I know the M sensor is a lot worse than MX, but would be interesting to hear more in the context of 2018

    I say we help Samsung out here...in case they are watching this thread.  Let's keep it simple.  Simply say "I'm in" if you'd buy it and, for their own research, what price you would pay?  

     

    I'm in.  $2500 retail.


    If I was in the market for a new camera I'd be in too!

    Although to be fair I should drive a stake through my G.A.S.....  and just quit with the cycle of buying cameras, but it is tough to stop!

    However $2.5K could go half way towards say buying a Sound Devices 688

    Yes, prototypes to test tech and demonstrate capabilities to Nikon, Fuji and the m43 world - companies that are all reliant on Sony. Sony's sensor division does huge business, cutting into that pie and eating a competitors lunch makes sense for another giant electronics conglomerate. A NX-whatever simply doesn't in any way.


    True, even a 4/3" crop of the existing NX1 APS-C 28megapixel sensor could be interesting to MFT manufacturers (Panasonic/Olympus/DJI/BMD/Yi/&more).

    I think this is the best chance for a "NX2" (be it merely a prototype, or something they sell as a limited release), is purely as an advertising tool for Samsung's cellphones (to showcase the processor) and/or to other camera manufactures (to tempt them to buy the sensor). But I'm skeptical the ROI is there for the R&D for a whole new camera (unless just merely a rough and ready test bed prototype) just as a marketing tool.
