ade towell

It's not just spending a bit more - you can get a c100 mk2 and 2 x c100 mk1 with dpaf for the price of a Sony fs5 which is £6k here in the Uk. And then you've got to wrestle with slog to get anything nice out of the camera. The c100 is as already stated perfect for weddings

For a run around lens I prefer the 18-135mm stm lens to the 24-105 - wider, longer, cheaper, lighter, silent af and better i.s. The 24-105 also is closer to f5 than f4 and loses a lot of light as you zoom in so is only negligibly better in low light

The best design for c100 size cameras is the Letus Helix Jr which you can put down without a stand - but it's more expensive than the Ronin

'shitlight' in this context is giostrante's 'test' not Zacuto which actually used lights - the Alexa would have looked shit with giostrane's test too

I think the RS on this camera will make wildlife filming on a 600mm lens a horrendous wobble fest

this guys stuff is pretty good https://vimeo.com/123625593

the footage looks wonderful - although everything from Wyatt shot with the old bmc camera is great too, his other documentaries are worthy of a watch

A used C100 with DPAF is a good deal these days

I'd get one you can use your gh4 on, quite a few to choose from, will obviously cut seamlessly On a slight tangent it looks like DJI have slashed the price of their X5R RAW camera that's coming out soonish

check out Macgregor's short

Lighten up people, some unnecessary venim here, it's a bit of fun - thanks Ed

nice and constructive

the black spot happens on alexa too.....just saying

the tokina will work on full frame at 16mm

slog with s-gamut needs to be delogged with a proper lut and then it works well. Most of the problems folk are having with slog is just trying to grade without delogging 1st as jfr alluded to

i thought they both use cfast compact flash?

the ninja 2 is a dog shit monitor

I'm in

the ninja 2 is a rubbish monitor, blade is alright

and do you really want a successor to make the older version left with no support & obsolete, and then the same again next year - one year cycles for cameras is a nightmare, and Sony seem to be pushing that - be careful what you wish for

good deal for UK buyers at the moment, £449 with £50 cashback & 5 year warranty - ends at midnight http://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-DMC-LX100EBK-Digital-f1-7-2-8-VARIO-SUMMILUX-Black/dp/B00NLFJ2KU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427363511&sr=8-1&keywords=panasonic+lumix+dmc-lx100

yes it's a great feature, makes apsc lenses like the pretty cheap sony 50mm 1.8 with image stabilisation useful in full frame mode

I got the Sony 28-70 kit lens you mentioned initially, can be picked up for very little. Not much slower than the zeiss 24-70 and little difference in performance. I use the cheap commlite adapter for my existing canon lenses and it has worked fine, no problems so far although as mentioned forget using af with any of these adapters. The I.s. Works with the commlite once you start recording, threw me at 1st but I guess it saves battery a little. I also find myself using canon fd 50 1.4 a lot with this camera for stills and video, gives a lovely creamy image on full frame Am tempted to get the Sony 50 1.8 oss for crop mode, oss is nice to have at that focal length - tried it in a shop on full frame and with zoom function at 1.3 and the image quality is great with no obvious vignette. Worth a look

whats the audio quality like using xlr? thanks
