I assume US customers would be in for a hefty import tax, no?

This lens is literally attached all the time to my GH4. Absolutely beautiful lens. I've never noticed much vignetting on it when on my GH4 or my previous 7D. I'll have to test on a friends 5D MK3 at the weekend and see at what point it starts vignetting on that.
Edit: never mind! Misread

actually this company who makes astronomy cameras founded a project about 5 years ago who's goal was to make digital cinema cameras
after the first prototype was successfully produced and tested, Kinefinity Inc. was founded as an independent company (co-owned to a majority by the initial developers)
Are you a kinefinity rep? Thought I saw a video with someone named Michel.

Thanks for the info. Good to know! Couldn't find much online about it

Those colors really do look great. Very impressive

Yeah why are all the new anamorphic lenses inferior to what consumers had in the 70's? What's going on there?
The Iscorama wasn't cheap when it came out, but it was accessible for enthusiasts, small and sharp.
It is really strange and unfortunate. I'd love an iscorama made with new materials and a warranty.

Good notes overall.
For what it's worth, you're not "supposed to" use variable ND if you want the most pristine image. Variable ND is going to refract light a little bit. A better solution is a single ND filter.
I'm with you on the willingness to accept Chinese product in this arena. Why not give them a try? If they're actually dedicated engineers building the thing and they have a tight QC, seems viable. After all, I feel like my iPhone is a solid product.
Isn't kinefinity an established company in the field of astronomy cameras?

The future!

I love GoPro. What a series of innovative cameras!
I agree with you though, the GoPro isn't ideal for a lot of professional work - I've had so much drone footage put in the bin because the GoPro image didn't quite cut it. I've also been disappointed with GH4 drone footage, the last project I did was shot in 4k and it had aliasing all over it. Very surprised!!
This Micro Camera would be a great experiment... Quite the companion to the new URSA!
Wow aliasing with GH4 4K? I thought it was supposed to be quite good in that department. Were you viewing the footage on a 4K native monitor??

$5000 is a lot for a m43 prime anamorphic

Can't wait for more information!

One thing about Kinefinity..their prices may be attractive, but they're somewhat deceiving
- You want 6k, yes of course, add $1000
- You want high frame rates, add $1000
- You want a battery grip, which does add nice functionality, that's $349, and literally feels like a $30 Canon knockoff
- You want SDI, that's $349
- Wifi, that's $349
- Kinestation (dirt-basic software) to transcode from KRW, $349
And the funny thing, is that the base model brain is hardware-capable of all of these features. 6k, wifi, everything. You're paying thousands for firmware to "unlock" these features.
Still no different that Redonomics, but I'd rather see someone truly disrupt rather than copy that shifty model at a lower price point.
It's still significantly cheaper than red though, even considering the extra charges. From what I've seen I like the image more than red too. Only thing really stopping me is the lack of customer service for the US
-
Might try to hold off until NAB to see what's just over the horizon. Out of those choices, it really depends. You'll have to really rig up both the kinemini and RED. The RED especially won't fit on gimbals and stuff so that's kinda a bummer. If you do any sort of run and gun, the 5D mark III is probably what you'd want to go with. But i still say hold off until the new stuff gets announced. Then at the very least this stuff will get even cheaper.

looking like a winner! can't wait to see some good footage. Does anyone know the roadmap for releasing the rest of the line?

Isco's patent
In: Cameras
I had always assumed it had expired a while ago. When did it run out?
-
I guess it would depend on if you do a lot of 3D work. If you don't use Maya/3ds max/cinema 4d/blender then yeah, don't get the quadro. If you do though, even entry level quadros best the gaming cards in very important things such as viewport navigation
-
Unsure about how the new gaming GPUs perform at viewport stuff, but my K5000 Quadro did WAY better than the previous generation of gaming cards at handling large sets of geometry. Unless you plan on rendering via GPU (which most of the terrific, supported renderers are still CPU based), I'd still consider a Quadro. Unless someone can post some viewport tests saying that the new gaming cards are up to the task. The old titans weren't very suitable for workstation work (again, unless you use cuda GPU rendering)
-
Unless you have crazy money for a dual socket, dual CPU setup with 12-core intels, the performance hasn't really been significantly upped for single-workstation CPUs in a while (assuming overclocking)
I still think the best value is the 3930K . 6 cores/ 12 threads that can be overclocked easily to 4.5 on air, and 4.9 on water. The newer chips are more expensive and don't overclock well. Although power consumption is better.

Wow 16 stops in 3K?? Even if in real world conditions it was 14 stops that would be mighty nice
-
Well I don't think the size factor can be discounted so easily. Also it's aimed more toward being a hybrid stills/video camera. I wouldn't buy it over the fs7 for video alone
-
I'm starting to heavily consider the kinemini
-
Well, this is great, but I cannot see how present lenses will cope with this resolution. All professional fixed lens don't go higher than 60-70 l/mm, which leads to 20MP clean resolution max.
If they don't announce a special line of lenses for this beast, I will be totally puzzled, unless I'm wrong in my estimations.
I currently use Mamiya camera + Phase One P40+ digital back and am totally happy with the setup. So also curious how it stands against this Canon...
Do even the L series lenses resolve ~20mpx??? I'm confused as to why there would even be 25+mpx cameras then? Can somebody expound?
Cheap Full Frame camera?

You can get a used 5D Mark II for under ~1000
