How much are you asking for just the slr magic diopters?

Anybody selling some 82mm or bigger diopters here?
 

Give me a shout.

Is there a rule to measure what diopter to use on certain distances?

For example a 100mm taking lens on a FF. with a 2X anamorphic lens with a diopter of +1= focus is everything in 1 meter

+2 everything between 1 and 2 meters? 

Or something like that? As I would like to know what diopters are good to have in my bag.

Thanks!

What about the kood diopters, are they good? I cannot seem to find any review on them.

Exactly, you can get a FS7 for very similar money to a C300 (a bit more than a mk1, heaps less than a mk2) and you get a camera in the FS7 which is overall better than either.

Unless you have some special circumstances, it is hard to see the logic in going for a C300 over an FS7/FS5/F3 option.

Well the FS7 is a good camera, but I am not sure the FS7 beats the C300 on a cinematic image level though. The sony camera's are usually spechorses, not workhorses(not really in need for slowmo). Besides the used price is more then double, so it is out of my reach anyway.

Wouldn't a C100 with external recorder be an even cheaper and qualitatively equal choice?

Nah Dont think so, havent seen anything good on the C100 so far. Looks more like a documentary camera to me.

C300 MkI or II?

C300 MkI, yes not the biggest renting fan over here. As I rent a alexa mini for a week, its the same money as buying a used c300. But I get your point.

Hey,

I have a 5D III with ml installed on it. So the RAW image looks awesome but the workflow is a bit of a stinker. If i upgrade to the canon C300, i will have the same DR and even better highlight roll off as the 5D right and a easyer workflow. Or would you not suggest to upgrade to the C300 I? Also I do like anamorhpic and the 5D iii ML has some cool anamorphic goodies. The aim is for cinematic shortfilms and hopefully one day a feature.

Thanks!

Wow that price is ridicilous. I dont see a market for it. Too pricey for purchasing, and if you are gonna rent, why not rent some cookes or hawks..

Thanks, is the +3 not a bit excessive? as the tokina 72mm is only +0.4? How well would this match up with a 2X anamorphot(kowa bell howell + taking lens canon 100mm f2.0)?

True the option of 4K is great, sure 6K could come in handy for certain work. But I would like a boost in film IQ, more like the Varicam. More DR, better highlight rolloff, less noise, better codec(prores,h265, raw). If 6K and 4k 60fps are the only selling points over the GH4. I will not be buying one, then I even choose the A7S ii over it. Why would you wait till photokina for such specs.

Hello,

How do you guys lock down your lenses at a fixed focuspoint? As a lot of time, you change focus accidently and you have to align again. Do you use tape so it does not change, or are there any other things I could use?

Thanks

They do look razor sharp, but they kinda have that blue flare going on, any others recommendations?

Hey there,

Are there any good 77mm achromats that you can recommend?

Thanks!

Would yall take a hacked 5d mark iii over a sony a7sii ?

It depends for what you are using it for. If you want to use it for cinematic short films, then hell yes. 
For company video's, Interviews and even travel video's I would use the A7S ii.

ok Thanks, will test that 5x crop mode out, any loss in quality?

Bigger sensor size is good and all. But I would like more DR, better highlight roll off, less noise and improved color science even if only at 1080p in a better codec.

Hey,

I just installed the 5D iii ML hack but I can only choose up to 1920*1080p resolution, no bigger resolution. I am using a computerbay 1000x card, and read this should be sufficient. However if i change aspect ratio I can choose other resolutions. What is the best combo for regular video and what is the best resolution for anamorphic shooting (4:3)? As I thought you could shoot up to 2.5k video. 

Thanks!

Cool camera, just the pricepoint is too steep for the likes of me.

Hey,

I am selling my slr magic rangefinder with markings for 500€ + shipping from Belgium. It is as good as new, only tested when I received, but I don't have any anamorphic project requests so It is just sitting here.

Kind regards,

Hey,

What happens to the 5D mark III's shuttercount when you shoot in RAW video with Magic lantern?

thanks!

Hey,

I shot some footage with my kowa 2X on my A7S. However the A7S is 16:9 and not 4:3 and I am shooting 1920*1080p but what canvas size do i need to setup in After Effects?

Thanks!

I am looking for a kowa 8Z, but is it true there are different rear end sizes out there? Like 52mm and 58mm? As I am looking to pair it to my nokton voightlander 42,5mm 0.95 glass, I will certainly need at least 58mm.

Thanks!

The kowa 8z does not work on a nokton 42,5 0.95 without vignetting right? Or does it? What cheap good performer anamorphot could I use with that lens?

Thanks!

thanks! 

can anybody tell me on what size taking lenses I can mount a kowa onto? (Like the voightlander 42,5mm  is that ok? sigma 30mm?)

thanks!
