    Nikon to e mount wich a adapter did you choose?

    In: Cameras

    Posted

    Hey guys,

    in between the next 2-3 days i´ll be a happy a7s + tokina 28-70 ageniuex version owner ( paid 1800€ in total :) )

    So my question is what adapter do you use?

    Probably one of the best would be the novoflex with "iris control" but its damn expensive 170€. (more than i paid for the lens...)

    Or do you have good experience with cheaper ones, im worried about the weight of the tokina, it almost weight twice as much as the a7s.


    Suggestions are welcome :)

    also is there a affordable wide angle zoom , lets say from 14 to 28 that matches the tokina 28-70.?

    Fullframe capabillity would be great..

    Thanks alot for youre input guys especially Andy.

    Like a lot of other members you made me buy the Tokina 28-70.

    I auctioned it 5 mins ago fo 160€.

    Please tell it was the right Angeniuex version.

    Tokina AT-X 270 AF Pro 28-70 2.6-2.8, its the version with the very small sun hood.
     
    Cant wait for it :)

    Why should I go and get an ATOMOS Shogun?

    i had a shoot with the original 2.5k bmcc, great cinematic image.. love it... if i had the money i would buy the mini in a second...

    But remember the real cost for the ursa mini upgrade:

    5k for the body

    minimum 1k for fast cf cards if you dont allready own them

    100$ V mount plate

    500$ Batteries

    1.5k shoulderkit

    so youre in total around 8k... for a nebie thats an overkill


    Do you feel limited with your gh4? and if yes what is the limit.

    i´ve send a mail to BM and asked whether its only uhd monitoring or 4k downscale recording too, that was the answer:

    Hi Christoph,

    Thanks for getting in touch.

    The information that is available about the video Assist at the moment indicates that it will only offer UHD monitoring, not recording.

    this may change between now and when the product gets released, however information is limited about this at the moment.

    Many thanks.

    more colour information, more bit depth, less compression, Prores instead of h.264.

    The Shogun is only interesting if you shoot much in 4k, if not wait for the Blackmagic Video Assist its 500$ instead of 1.5k.

    But if you dont know the benefits from the above list it wont help you improve your work.

     

     

     

    New NX1 Rumors to delayed FW

    In: Cameras

    Source: Mirrorless Rumors

    Apparently the reason why Samsung delayed the new firmware release for the NX1 is quite...surprising:

    A source who shared correct Samsung rumors in the past told me that Samsung has "rewritten" the NX1 code. I don't know how deep those changes are. We will likely see that new NX1 code with the next firmware update. Let's hope this means we can expect some great improvements!

    Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera: does it make sense to buy it now?

    ​Certainly you mean for slomos. Because for someone who is after a clean, 'Hobbit'-like look, the Pocket is clearly the wrong choice. As a workaround for missing 60p, you can use 30p with short exposure times and process the footage with Twixtor. Being a cinema lover since my early childhood, I also love the dirty slomo ('trailer slomo') of repeated frames. Use it very often in my wedding videos. I almost always manipulate real time, but I'm not much bothered by technical imperfections of these obvious effects. Nothing is more boring than a perfect slomo.

    Then, just imagine, you bought the BMMCC with a BMD VA to get 60p, and BM gives us 60p for the Pocket in a FW upgrade, and be it only for ProRes LT. Not completely impossible, we've seen them answering so many wishes of customers in the past.

    Okay, but some use the SB always or almost always. And raw theoretically is the better codec, allows much more in post. The filter is still an option for me. On the other hand, I try to save money for the Ursa mini​, probably as a christmas surprise, having gotten used to the BM promises ...

     

    ​Can you explain the 30p slowmo with twixtor? do you pull it down to 50% speed?

    Do you have an example for a trailer that looks like this ?

    Thank´s in advanced
