I got my A7s a few weeks ago an did some jobs with it. and what I can say is: I also don't understand that hype around it. in terms of grading (davinci ...etc.) it's one of the worst cameras I've ever worked with. especially when shooting in slog-2. it seems to me that this mode on the a7s doesnt get that amounbt of DR it needs. the 14 stops might be correct but they are not usable. you need to light very precise to be aware of noise. all these reviews are shot in good conditions. but a simple underexposing is gradeble better even on a 5d II or III ... to be honset I havent't teste that camera a lot without slog ... but it seems to me that it behave better even when you are shooting avchd .. but this is something I'll check out next.

I got mine a few days ago! pros & cons indeed ... but I got noticable noise when shooting slog-2 ??? any ideas anyone? what am I doing wrong?

Ok! 'Element' ... I was not familiar with that term. thank you for the help!

hi there! I read the following on the slr magic website from the slr magic website: "The adapter has a 77mm front filter thread and a native 62mm rear thread with a 58mm, 52mm, 49mm adapter rings provided. As such it is only suitable for lenses which have a front element size of 50mm or less." source: http://www.slrmagic.co.uk/slr-magic-anamorphot-133x-50-anamorphic-adapter.html 50mm or less? so if I wanna use that anamophot with a full frame e.g. 5d III there wouldn't be any proper lenses ...! as far as I remember Andrew Reid did a test with the canon pancake and that's 52 mm ... I'm confused. Can anyone help me?

that footage I saw so far looked all good in the highlights, but I can't help ... the shadows .. there isn't much / any detail in .. but maybe that's a grading thing ?
