"Matt Irwin Photography" on you tube has just done a video on "Nikon ZR making your ZR better" with lots of coverage of Zine control starting at 10.5 minutes .I have not put a direct link because of affiliate links.

The colour 16mm movie film used by George Stevens in 1944 and 45 is Kodachrome and very slow only ISO 10 or ISO 16 so only worked well in bright daylight.Here is a frame capture -the colours hold up very well.

some people can't understand why some oil painters have no interest in selling their paintings ,the satisfaction is in the pleasure of creating the painting ,and even sometimes it may be better than the last one.

gregxrx121 the developer has also got an Android version being tested

a fascinating look at how they recorded realistic cannon sound for 'Master & Commander"

CineD have just dropped a 13minute interview with Cathy at NAB on youtube about this camera

Storage: Built-in 240GB SSD + CFexpress Type B. Power: Native LEMO 2P DC-IN + NP-F550 support. Monitor: 4-inch High-brightness OLED Retina Touchscreen + Dual full-size 4K HDMI. I/O: Built-in Mic + 3.5mm Mic (TC support) + Headphone jack. Build: 600g CNC Aluminum body.

well what do you think of these sorts of reviews ? Runs for 13 minutes and no examples of photos or video taken with the lens

Viltrox has a L mount version on show at NAB

There is nothing on their web site about it either.The full specs don't seem to be finalised yet,it looks like an entry level camera for them so logically the sensor is already used in their existing line up.Their Mavo MkII full frame body start around US $6,000 they are aiming at getting this to market at around US $3000 .

Your other option is wait and see if Viltrox make their Nexus focus in a Nikon version or if Tilta do one.That would give auto focus to your manual lenses ,so far the focus speeds on the Sony version look pretty decent.The AF-S 85mm f1.8 has a good reputation and I have got some decent footage out of the Cheap Samyang 85mm T1.5 the manual Nikkor 105mm f2.5 is easy to find.

ARRI has the secret life essence -there is strong parallels with this scene from Dr. Strangelove !

open gate & internal SSD but only manual focus

some very pertinent comments in this previous thread .

April 8th is workforce reduction announcement and April 14 th is new product press release day

from Riedel group homepage https://www.riedel.net/en/news/news-detail/thomas-riedel-acquires-arri#:~:text=Under the new ownership of,and remain headquartered in Munich.

Their share price is up by 170 % compared to a nasty low in March so I think your theory is right ! Put on a show for the shareholders and speculators !!! They have lost market share as well

looks promising ,still being beta tested.Note in the comments "photojoegraphy" claims it works on his Z8 And Z6III.

The Power of Colour in Cinema -5 minutes

If you do decide to go with Nikon the FTZII adaptor works very well with F mount AF-S lenses and the resulting auto focus speed is very close to z mount.AF-S lenses are easy to get second hand and far cheaper than the new lenses in Z mount .My AF-S 35mm f1.8 was only Aus $200 second hand and to purchase new in Z mount is around Aus $1000.

This guy in France Shikijo Petroski claims to have modified the Viltrox adaptor to work on a Nikon ZR.He has a lot of videos on Vimeo.
