  1. Post some pics of your soft images, tell us the camera taking combo, and we can tell if something is wrong.
  2. 1. Set taking lens out of focus where your subject is and wide open to get nice bokeh. 2. Make a shiny spot on your subject focus plane so you see the bokeh on the subject. 3. Turn scope both sides and see how the shape of bokeh change. You need a middle point where bokeh is perfectly round. 7. Now focus your taking lens as usual. 8. Remove the shiny spot if you don't want it on the shoot

    And most of the nudists in the area are British! ???

    Bullring of Vera. Epic western films locations in this zone!!
  5. For 1 year I have compiled a set of tiffen nd 4x4 of 1,2, 3 and 4 stops. All second-hand and from different vendors. For a strange reason, the 3-stop one (0.9) has that green tint, which the rest of the set does not have. Has tiffen's quality control failed? Or can it be a fake copy?
  6. It's hard for me to explain it in English, but that trick changed my workflow, going from having 80% takes out of focus to having almost 90% perfect focus. Remember that the key is to look for the perfect circle with the anamorphic block and then it's just a single focus with the taking lens. The bright object must be in the desired focus plane.
  7. I currently edit with a laptop. Although at home and in my work I have several monitors. So I ask if there is something like a desktop computer that can be transported as a backpack or suitcase? Is there something like that?
  8. I remember a master trick I learned from a YT channel (I think it was Erik Ivar Persson) for perfect dual focus on the fly: If we want to focus on a subject, say 3 meters away, we will put the lens taking lens completely wrong, in this case to infinity in order to get a pronounced bokeh on the subject. I remember lighting a bright object at that point of the subject (keys with a flashlight) and getting the bokeh at the desired focus distance. At that time I played with the anamorphic focus and that bokeh changed from vertical to horizontal, passing through a small intermediate point that was round. That is the desired focus point of the anamorphic block. Once in it, we corrected the taking as if it were single focus. It is an easy and fast method that helped me a lot. Dou you remember this anamorphic short? What's happened with his channel?
  9. What about this one? We are better community than 1500$ (+65$shipping) red isco
  10. HI BTM! I really like this vest but I can't find it online or any Europe store. Amazon will be great because I'm not sure what size will fit me (I'm 75kg/178cm). For my work, this transparent pocket, is a must for credencial/pass card!!
  11. Are you Satanic? Yes Sir, and from Carabanchel!! ?
  12. when will the teardown be? The community wants to see what's inside. Maybe some pieces of... xiaomi? ???
  13. My vote is for GH2 and Helios challenge!!

    Camera test as excuse: ?
  15. Congratulations to the winners! I would like to propose a similar but different challenge for another edition: we would all use the same camera and lens, so the film differences would be by framing / filters / sound etc ... I would like it to be GH2 and Helios 44-2 58mm, a combination that many of us already have. So the choice of hack and gradding would also be free. Even the script could be common to everyone. A daily scene to choose from (go to work, buy bread, something like that). It would also be a fun exercise
  16. But if you have G80 already and can sell the body only for say 350_400 euros, it's a extra 300 euros for the upgrade...
  17. Does G9 have anamorphic modes or Vlog? Not sure if it's worth the upgrade from G80
  18. OMG, It is the same issue as described in this thread in which I participated and did not remember. I think I'm losing my mind ... https://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/27443-kowa-8z-anamorphic-repair-help-needed/
  19. I have tried all the combinations in my G80 and all. mov generate files that the camera cannot play. It also accepts some 200mbps that are not real hight bitrates in the corrupt file recorded.
  20. First, thank you for your response. Unfortunately, the lock of the focus ring prevents me from unscrewing it backwards. I have applied a lot of force by prying and it does not turn from that point. So it only occurs to me to unscrew it forward, but the tabs block the output of the front element. I am in a dead end. I'm thinking to drill some small holes in the focus barrel to be able to remove the hidden screws of each tab ...
  21. Are you doing La Liga preseason again?
  22. Only 1 hour driving from my house! I've been so many times in Granada, but never in a cave. But few years ago I stay in a similar house in Las Palmas (canary islands)
  23. A friend of mine dropped his kowa 8z and although the optics seem intact, the focus barrel does not turn completely. In fact from infinity to 8 feet, it turns smoothly as before, but at the 8-foot mark it locks completely as if it were the end. (from 8 to 5feet marks it lacks of 90 degrees of turn) I have tried to disassemble until I access the helicoid, but I cannot remove the focus ring because of the mentioned lock. I can't remove the 3 tabs either because I only access 1 of the 2 screws each one has. Any ideas to repair it?
