I think he is nuts to go handheld for so long that he does (this is his second RED ONE! And we shot an entire film film together for five weeks in Australia, I was doing sound of course with my F4 etc).
He does need to take a few painkillers now and then I think. It is heavy on your back! Especially without any full time 1st AC to help you out.
But I can't be too much of a hypocrite.... my back is still a little bit fvcked up from 5 weeks of shooting with a mixing bag being carried by me every day.
However this 2nd RED ONE is going to mainly live on a tripod, because it only has a CF slot. Thus he'll use the HDD, so it is best it stays on a tripod.
And his 1st RED ONE (which he recently upgrade to a SSD) will be his handheld one.Your friend must be keen to have purchased a second Red one.I am in the opposite direction -try and keep the camera and lens under one kg-that way it's
easy to do shots at ground level or one metre over your head with a monopod.Also makes it easy to attend events around Sydney using public transport.

Never been a fan of the C300 ergonomics when I shot it, in my view it is too top heavy and large to really consider it as similar to shooting with a DSLR. So you might as well go all the way and get a Sony F3!
However the C100 does squeeze into a similar enough form factor you could regard it as kinda similar feel to shooting with a DSLR, but better.Agreed! I'd waaaaaaay prefer a Sony PMW-F3. And even though the F3 is cheaper, I certainly could have at a stretch got a RED ONE instead. (was even half considering an URSA Mini 4.6K, but glad I didn't get it)
Just had a friend buy this week a RED ONE MX! :-o
(picking it up on Monday I think)
But then again, he did get a really good price for what he paid (remember, this is in NZD):
That sure is a bargain !.It may suit your friend's style of work but 9 to 15 kgs fully rigged out is no small puppy.

What of legend of a track,! you are fortunate have such close access to the cars and drivers.The slider clips look really cool.
Music to car fanatics is the "pure" sounds of these engines in the pits and racing sounds so background music only in parts
please! It's very irritating filming at air shows when a Spitfire does a fast low flypast and the stupid commentator talks through the
public announcement system the whole time ,along the lines "a Spitfire has two wheels at the front and a small one at the rear'.

I'd just wish the 35mm 1.4 wasn't so humongously big (bigger than the Sigma 35mm 1.4 or the first Canon 35mm f/1.4L). The image quality is really good for the price, as is the 85mm f/1.4 but adapting it to anything but a fullframe DSLR feels crazy out of proportion.
Yeh Phil 650gms is on the bulky side but manageable.The latest Nikon and Tokina 24-70mm f2.8 zooms are much worse ,they have bloated out to one kg
and you sure notice that with a days filming.

I would expect A7R III with Nikon D850 sensor first, probably going to be next year now. A7S III a few months after that. I hope it arrives in 2018, not any later than that.
Guys in Japan are saying the D850 sensor has no connection to Sony.It was made by a company called "Towerjazz " to Nikon's required specifications.

Kenneth is a celluloid purist who refuses to shoot in digital last used 65mm on his 1996 adaption of "Hamlet"

Hi Tim---There is a wedding photographer near Sydney that uses an X-T2 as one of his bodies .
His name is James Day

Fujifilm have also announced they are releasing Xmount versions of their cine lenses by the end of this year.
Perhaps there is more video oriented body in the pipeline ???

"The only other consideration might be to go the Medium Format lens route & I've been really impressed by some of these lenses recently - anyone have experience with MF lenses? (Looking for budget conscious lenses btw)"
I have been having a look at the same prospect as Pentacon six to Canon or Nikon adaptors are easy to find
Zeiss Jena Pentacon six medium format for video

Well done Liam !!! a finished project ,it sure made me laugh !
I am surprised that you did both the female voices ,they sure sound like ladies but some of their words are sort of slurred and hard to understand.
Have you done any work with normal puppets like Seasame st or "Yoda" some of them are very convincing characters

Lomo Anamorphics on a Red Dragon by Chris Leclerc

Here is a test from "Vintage Lenses for Video"
"LOMO OCT19 75mm T2.2 Russian Cine Lens, which happens to be my first ever 4K video as well and what a great lens to kick off the 4K tests with. The whole video was shot wide open and even in 4K, this lens is super sharp. Flares are out of this world and bokeh is super smooth and painterly. As you stop down this lens it gets even sharper and flares become more controlled, so it can give you both dreamy magic and superb performance in controlled lighting."
There is also a Lomo OKC cine Jupiter 9 85mm f2

I am pretty sure Duclos no longer service Lomo lenses (parts difficult to get & quoting on repair time and cost difficult).Here is a quote from Matthew Duclos back in 2009 when they were servicing them
"Lomo lenses range quite a bit in age and style. Most of them being acquired were built in the 70's and a few from the 80's. This makes them nice and cheap and many people are taking advantage of that (good for you). But that doesn't change the cost of labor when servicing the lenses. Rob was right, it is costly to service Lomos. This is mostly due to their poor build quality. While servicing, the set screws tend to break off and require even more time to remove. Many of the components inside the Lomo lenses are hand made (not in a good way) and don't always fit correctly. Don't get me wrong, they are great lenses. But they are very costly to maintain. I'll give you an example... I just serviced a Zeiss 35mm MkIII Super Speed and billed the customer for 4 hour.
I also recently serviced a Lomo anamorphic that we billed the customer 8 hours.
So... my point is, they are cheap to buy, but costly to maintain. And they do produce nice images ;)" -
DXOMark ratings are " horse manure" they even have the nerve to claim their own one inch sensor camera is as good
as a Nikon D7200 or Sony A7S !!
