  4. Very funny MrSMW, One of the guys involved in making F1 the film said " we are aiming at bringing the "Top Gun experience to Formular 1 racing".The financial experience may have also played a part with Top Gun 1986 box office $357 Million and only a $15 million budget Top Gun Maverick 2022 $1.5 Billion box office and $177 million budget.Top Gun was arguably the first film to give a reasonable impression what it was actually like to fly a f14 Tomcat .The films story is cheesy to say the least ,even the shag scene was added at the last moment. Much of the 2025 F1 film actual racing sequences the camera position changes every few seconds leaving only a vague impression of driving.Have a look at this for comparison- F1 Grand Prix (1966) - Music Video - Lost but Won - YouTube

    Glad you are making progress Max .I dug out the Soviet color filters both are red ! and were normally used to increase contrast with black and white film.

    Hi Max you will get much more reliable results using a warming filter than a thorium lens Ive got a yellowed Super Takumar 55/1.8 & can hardly tell much difference with it !! Color filters are not cheating they were in photographers bags in the film era my Dad used to use a yellow filter for shooting snow scenes as it gives better shadows.Some of my Soviet lens arrived with a color filter still attached. !!
  7. I have just been to see F1 directed by Joseph Kosinski with Brad Pitt as leed.scored as follows 10 is Super and 1 is pee weak.story 8 Cinematography 8 acting 8 -sound 8 putting the audience in the F1 drivers seat 5. Compared to "Rush" 2013 with the James Hunt and Niki Lauda battles story 9 Cinematography 7 acting 9 sound 7 putting the audience in the F1 drivers seat 2. Compared to Grand Prix 1966 John Frankenheimer & shot on Super Panavision 70 story 6 rather lame and artificial ,Cinematography 9 amazing for 1966,acting 6 ,sound 9 ,putting the audience in the drivers seat 9
  8. Jordan's conclusion sure is feeble as audio can be directly recorded to a Ninja V or use a preamp like the US $100 Saramonic Smartrig+ .
  9. Nasim Mansrov's Z7 review includes a comparison of the new ZS lenses compared to the 24-70mm f2.8E VR and 35mm f1.8G https://photographylife.com/reviews/nikon-z7/4
  10. The Art of Photography review of Z6,video evaluation starts at 14.5
  11. Large buffer is less of a necessity because the write speeds to cards with XQD is much faster.
  12. https://www.ephotozine.com/article/sainsonic-kamlan-50mm-f-1-1-lens-review-31408 Kai tested it as well
  13. Vimeo's court case has been bleeding them for nine years already,according to this link given by "Olikmia" and "It took YouTube nearly a decade, and well over $100M, to eventually settle its DMCA lawsuit." https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20180406/12242839584/vimeo-copyright-infringement-case-still-going-nearly-decade-later-with-another-partial-win-vimeo.shtml
  14. There is a massive "sampling " problem here he says his survey participants were "52 average non-photographers" Tribesmen from Papua New Guinea ,Kazakhstan horsemen ?????his video would have been much more fun if he included some of their interview material.
  15. Canon doesn't seem able to compete with Fijifilm skin care products either-perhaps included with the 5D MkV ?
  16. The two new 70-300mm AF-P stepper zooms are getting quite good reviews and much faster auto focus than their predecessors http://www.dslrbodies.com/lenses/nikon-lens-reviews/nikkor-zoom-lens-reviews/nikon-70-300mm-f45-56-af-p.html
  17. Some of the best "beard tracking" I've ever seen.
  18. Z7 what's inside ? https://kolarivision.com/nikon-z7-dissasembly-teardown/ quote:"Another unique aspect: the cover glass of the Z7’s sensor is about half a thick as the Sony’s, coming in at 1.1mm. This means the Nikon will have better performance with adapter lenses right out of the box. " Sony users discovered adapted " rangefinder wide angle lenses" have "image" problems on A7 bodies https://phillipreeve.net/blog/rangefinder-wide-angle-lenses-on-a7-cameras-problems-and-solutions/
  19. Looks like Panasonic are facing the reality that their high pricing on GH5 and GH5S is not justified any more .GH5S is nearly the same price as Nikon Z6 !
  20. Sony sold off a lot of their Olympus shares and now only hold 5 % it doesn't really give them much "clout".The story I heard was Sony wants some of the medical/endoscope market https://petapixel.com/2015/04/01/sony-sells-half-its-stake-in-olympus-for-cash-now-no-longer-largest-shareholder/
  21. Films shot in 65 and 70mm have a special look as well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_70_mm_films
