When you've done that, try and figure out how to minimise it - if you don't need a huge audience then you might not need a venue, which might mean you don't need insurance.  Try and think outside the box on this.  Ask yourself what you're willing to do in terms of 'breaking the rules'.  For instance if you were only interested in the community aspects of it you might drag out a an old Ebay projector (good films look fine in SD) into a park and use your mates car for sound, you'd probably be in violation of some kind of county laws or whatever, but maybe you don't care about these things.  Maybe there's a park that no-one will notice you using if you get there later in the evening (in summer it gets darker later so that works too).  Word of mouth and maybe photocopy a few fliers would get you enough audience for your own purposes.  

Get in touch with your local community board (whatever your lowest level local government body organisation is), it is likely they'll be quite supportive of community events such as this, especially if you can put a "local spin" on it.

Hmmmm....

Can I just clarify that I brought those two images up for comparison as I knew someone would search his posts and come across it and would, in all likelihood, have not couched it in, shall we say, quite the same terms.

There are very plausible reasons why those images are as they are that wouldn't disprove a RAW breakthrough.

Just as there are very plausible reasons why those images as they are would not support it.

However, I wasn't just going to ignore the comparison between the images because it didn't suit my suspected - and hoped for outcome - that this is indeed for real.

 

(my underlining for emphasis)

Yes, I agree, I feel like BTM_Pix raised this intriguing point very politely and respectfully. 

a7Rmk2 doesn't have dual native ISO

I know they share the same sensor, but I can't find anywhere the info of the exact size of that sensor in millimeters. 

Copying Kinefinity as well! ;-) 

They too have dual ISO.

Didn't bother to check, as I'm sure the shipping would be painful.

equally I think that was put out to try and stop some going to the A7iii.

True, is very possible this "leak" is a distraction tactic. 

Oh wow, I didn't realise you're shooting "The Resident"! I'm watching every episode. 

Personally I'd suggest leaning (*IF* you want specifically native MFT manual lenses) toward Veydra:

Or SLR Magic:

webrunner5, you're misreading what he said. 

The 35mm f1.2 doesn't come for any non-mirrorless mount at all. 

Although B&H kinda indicates it has been stopped being sold for MFT???

A Canon professional full-frame mirrorless camera may be closer than most people thought. The camera is reportedly already being secretly used by a number of Canon professional photographers.

For such a poor camera system, I wouldn't want to spend too much at all on it. 

Go with the Yongnuo macro lens for only US$170:

Then get a C stand a few sandbags to mount the camera directly above you while you're painting your miniatures. 

Spend the rest on lighting and audio etc... things that would really make a big difference. For instance at least this as a mic (but more is better):

Thing is...I can't really get it to work well for either application. And for filming my hands/painting, I think I can maybe see my knuckle, and the focus range seems super narrow so most of the subject matter seems blurry. I have a feeling this isn't quite the right lens for my needs...

 

You want to stop down until you get an appropriate working range of DoF for your needs, this might mean f5.6 or f8 for instance.

"URSA super mini 4.6K" super 35 .

A camera   smaller , lighter and more affordable than their UM4.6k.

Something with the Kinefinity Terra body form factor would be ideal.

What I can tell you is there will be no more 2.5 or anything other than 4k in new BM cameras.

 

Yes, sadly so, I remember watching an interview with a BMD guy and it sounded like they wouldn't ever be releasing a non-4K camera in the future. 

As the market just isn't there for them.

You say I "stalk" you, while I am signed in here almost a year before you do, and similar in DPR as well! 

 

It is impossible to start a new thread in the NX subforum on EOSHD without Kisaha noticing it! So no, of course this is not specific stalking of one person :-o

Rather it is "stalking" of the entire NX forum ;-)

Hey, think there might be a bit of a misunderstanding - I'm looking at the Samyang's line of lenses that are exclusively for mirrorless cameras. For example, they do a 35mm f1.4 for DSLRs that weighs 660g, and a 35mm f1.2 for mirrorless that weighs 420g. I'm looking at the latter.

 

Right, but in that case they have a much more limited range, and you can't build a full set exclusively out of those. So any of those you can buy in DSLR mounts (which you'll need to round out your kit) then I recommend you get in Nikon F instead of MFT. 

(and even then.... I'm not a great fan of many of the exclusively mirrorless ones, I'd rather keep the flexibility of mounting)

... Well, hopefully won't intend on changing system any time soon, having just bailed from Sony for Micro 4/3!

 

You could go with Veydras instead, which would allow you to jump back and forth between Sony E mount or MFT in the future.

Totally get where you're coming from on this, and that buying Nikon / Canon mount would be a better long-term investment. That said, my weedy branch arms would probably be a bit challenged lugging around the Full frame glass & the adapter for long periods. I like how compact and lightweight the MFT lenses are on the body.

I think you're missing my point, the Nikon and MFT Rokinons are *EXACTLY* the same!

Except, the MFT lenses are a teeny bit heavier! :-o

(because of the different flange distance)

Arguing against buying them in Nikon/Canon mount instead of the identical lens in MFT is not a strong argument at all. 

Yes I wrote my post under the assumption that Samsung reacts at all. 

Of course the even more likely response is... no response at all!

Yes, a new post will be created and I'm thinking I need to get Andrew in on this in a bigger way as well. It definitely warrants it.

He's not just a student, he's a young student. I don't want to reveal his age because I'm not sure he's okay sharing that publicaly but you all need to trust me on this particular one. If I were this kid's father I would be very upset at what some of you are doing right now. I realize you didn't know, but you do know now. Because I told you.

Bottom line, school comes first. Yes, we could poke holes in his timing to announce such things in light of busy school exams, but again, he's young. 

 

So he is a young uni student?!

Yeah that could mean someone very young, I started uni at 16 but that is nothing compared to some others, I was at uni with someone who started at 13!!

Or if you want to be really hip and are willing to take the time and raise the money, you could market the festival as an underground fest that only accepts films that were rejected from major/minor festivals. You could probably get some press and could appeal to a lot of filmmakers. Just come up with a hip name for the fest... Midwest Film Rejects or just Film Rejects Fest. Idk, just spitballing. 

I like the idea of only allowing films in it if they've been rejected somewhere!

Of course this is a bit of a gimmick, as ANY film can get itself rejected somewhere. 

But it is funny, and sometimes you need a bit of a "gimmick" to get some marketing traction.

make everything as easy and cheap as possible. to paraphrase robert rodriguez, you dont need a good venue, you need a SHITTY venue. do it outside! summers coming

As we were discussing in another thread on EOSHD, some high(ish) power projectors are becoming fairly affordable! Plus a couple of outdoor speakers in a park, and you're away laughing.

If what he claims is true, this goes way beyond eoshd. This is going to be hitting tech blogs on a global scale and Samsung is going to hear about it. The question is will they welcome this news with open arms?  It's their IP at the end of the day and Arikhan is under no illusions here. 

How will Samsung react?

Best case scenario: NX2!!
Worst case scenario: Samsung's lawyers get a fat paycheck and are kept busy.
