    BrorSvensson reacted to Inazuma in Is a (V)ND filter a necessity for proper exposing?   
    No.2 is correct. You want to set your shutter speed, aperture and iso and use the VND to control the exposure. Only thing is when it gets dark you'll have to either bump up the iso or take the filter off.

    BrorSvensson got a reaction from IronFilm in Mitakon Creator 35mm f2. Waste of money?   
    One of my friend has one, at f2 its nothing to boost about. I would personally get the Nikon ai 35mm  f2 instead.

    BrorSvensson reacted to Nikkor in Medium Format focal reducer has landed   
    51,42x34mm You would be surpirsed how good even a tiny ancient 36x36mm back looks on portraits. My favourite format is 6x7, but 51x34 is good enough to unveil some of the beauty (specially on faces). I don't know the numbers right now but cinema 65mm is smaller than photographic 645, so if you liked the look on the master or 2001 this speedbooster should give the same look.
    The only problem I see is quality and vignetting (that first element looks too small).

    If ultra compact size is what attracts you, then check out the even smaller KineFinity Terra 5K/6K or Sony FS5

    Nearly all digital medium format systems have a crop factor vs film 645 (let alone 6x7). With only a very few that don't.

    Hallo NX World, the NX Booster it's coming soon! This is the Prototype Mark II. 
    Marco do not worry, if I do not post my progress, is because I have a lot of work in my private life. Next week I start the test with Nx1 camera.

    BrorSvensson reacted to Matt Kieley in Lenses   
    I got a Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 Ai in the mail today, and I love it. I tried it out on my T2i along with Magic Lantern and Visioncolor CineLook, and I'm loving this combination (graded with FilmConvert). I'm sure everyone already knows this/has posted about it, but this lens really is sharp at f/1.4 (which is the aperture of these grabs). I'm liking the 28mm 2.8 Ai as well:
    Wonderful lenses.

    BrorSvensson reacted to Nikkor in Lenses   
    Hey bror, I like the idea of a 105 1.4 lens, but let's face it, imho most 35mm lenses faster than 1.8 are sort of pointless because they aren't good enough to resolve fine detail on medium distances, and on close distances anything faster than 1.8 is total overkill. And yes, for wedding photographers the fuzzines/softness of 1.2 35mm lenses can be a plus.
    My very personal view on the whole fast expensive 35mm lens thing is that for the money you need to buy a good 35mm setup ( 105 1.4 is 2000$ plus another 1500$ for the camera body) I can buy a used mediumformat backand it's going to look way better.

    Im probably the only one on this forum that uses a Sony A7 to film videos, if you want to check out some samples  you can watch my 5 latest videos https://www.youtube.com/user/4cfingers/videos
    I really like the camera with the headphone and mic jack, the 1080p 60 is decent and for me personally good enough for youtube. DR with portrait -3 contrast is similar to the 5d with -5 contrast. I shoot 50% stills and 50% and i think its a very versitile camera when using manual lenses, its easy to focus with the beautiful and sharp EVF. 
     
    The A7r and A7 have nearly identical video performance.

    Freestyle scootering is a relative new sport so no shame there  Thanks for the compliments!
    Yeah i think pretty much every camera made after (and) the 5d mark iii is good enough for most people, no needs to think that you need clinicly sharp NX1 4k to make an amazing video. 
    Where the Sony A7 shines is with shallow dof stuff, like the 2016 setup video. It highlightes the awesomeness of the amazing full frame sensor and with the background being blured out you escape all the moire aliasing stuff.

    Mitakon is the best focal reducer in this price range.....RJ LENS TURBO IS CRAP, if someone is deciding what to get avoid this RJ has blue cast  all over the place. 
    well I don't know what is the look you are going for...the first sets looks more cinematic to me, the second set is more videoish...

    BrorSvensson reacted to Andrew Reid in F&V 4.3 Inch Monitor. Incredible!   
    In a way the monitor I want doesn't really exist yet.
    A smartphone screen, as thin as a smartphone, a single HDMI input, lasts for ages on a built in battery (again, size of a smartphone). Clips over the existing camera non-articulated LCD on a Zacuto Z-finder style frame with hinge. Problem solved.
    I don't want to bolt on an articulated arm made of steel, just to get a screen I can angle upwards!
    How many hours on the smallest possible NP sony battery for the Spectra Tim?

    Every discussion between the two cameras have people falsely stating the a7 R 2 is unusable in full frame, when it really is not. It makes people reading threads think that they shooting full frame on the a7r 2 is not even an option.
