Yes - check out the redstan.com clamps :-) They come with nylon bolts which don't scratch the lens. Also, the Redstan clamp for the Kowa B&H is amazing (I have it) because it screws in a retaining ring, so the bolts are just for fixing the alignment, not for holding the lens :-)
Not really. Sometimes it will work like you describe, but then your bokeh will be weird (horizontally stretched) if your taking lens focus and anamorphic front focus are misaligned. Try to focus on the taking lens (by eye) - then look at its distance marker - then set the anemorphic to the same distance marker - then fine-tune the taking lens :-)
Ha! The website now works again. Last night I found a guy on Taobao to customise a clamp for me. Slightly cheaper than Redstan but actually it works the same with the Redstan one. They all have another layer inside the clamp to function like a cushion.

No one will find out if you don't ask. But since you asked, I think the white background scene was shot on GH4.
Very nice song by the way.

Thanks a lot Valid! Very useful information!
I'll try the focus again later this week. I checked redstan.com, but unfortunately the page redirects me to another weird website that doesn't make sense. I also searched on ebay but can't find anything nice. How much does the clamp cost anyway? I wish I could make one from the factory myself..

Hi guys,
Here's a newbie's anamorphic lens test. Did some simple color correction last night and exported to H.264. First hand ever on an anamorphic lens and still learning, so focus is a little soft and quite a few other issues. Also the ND filter is pretty bad. It caused the bad highlight diffusion on the street. Second test to be continued soon and the quality should improve significantly..
I found the lens clamp with screws very difficult to use and the lens body will get damaged soon after a few more shootings. Is there any other clamps you guys use that can avoid the touching of the lens body and the screws in order to protect the lens?
I found that my 12-35 2.8 can work with the Kowa on 35mm and the auto focus + Power OIS is just amazing. But for the focusing of other manual lens, what I did is trying to set the focus of the Kowa to a approximate distance and then focus on the prime lens. It's quite complicated. Is it possible that I can set the focus of the Kowa to infinite and then just focus according to the prime lens? I haven't got time to try this but just thinking of it today during work.

Price reduced to $400.
Hi Nigel, I'm interested. Can you ship it to China? You can drop me a message when you have time. Thanks

Just put the 4K footage on a 1080p timeline and render out at ProRes 444 or DNxHD 444. Or transcode to the mentioned codecs with the MPEG STREAMCLIP free before ingesting. Anyway, it's been known for a while now that working with native 8bit 4k files (grading) is the best way, no prior transcoding to 1080p will give better quality, just render out after grading the 4k files to prores/dnx 1080p after editing/colouring to preserve as much as possible from the native files.
Thanks Ebrahim! I'm going to climb some mountains this weekend and try it out.

Hey guys,
I got a GH4 recently and tried to play with the 4K feature and found this thread. http://www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/5426-mac-app-to-resample-gh4-8-bit-420-to-10-bit-444/
It's really interesting and great news to GH4 users. However, when I tried to download the file provided by Thomas, the mediafire link already expired.
I'm wondering if any of you still have the GH444 app and could share with all the GH4 explorers here again on EOSHD?
Thanks in advance. ;=]
FS7 + GH4

wow surprising. I guessed the white back ground used GH4 because GH4 is very noisy with low light and dark environment usually, so you might want to take advantage of the FS7 and use it for the black background shooting.
