    Maybe I'm doing something wrong, or my settings worked around the old firmware and need to change, but I find the 3.0 update to be a huge step backwards in the AF...

    Just to follow up, in case anyone is reading.

    Turns out it was definitely more my settings (which I had jiggered oddly to work around the old firmware). Setting everything back to stock then selecting continuous, area, sensitivity at 0, and speed at -4 and I'm quite happy with the results for moving images. Nice update!

  2. John Bradley (who I believe would know) confirmed it as real!

    Very exciting!!

     

    What's everyone hoping for?

    I'd like 4k (seems safe given the billboard)

    Either m4/3 or s16 sized 

    With cdng raw and prores options

    Maybe up to 30p at 4k and up to 60p or 120p at fullHD

    Maybe an anamorphic mode with desqueeze?

    Built-in ND filters would be amazing

    A little longer lasting battery would be nice

    For around $1k

    I'd buy that instantly

  3. Hello all,

    First, thanks to everyone in this forum I was able to shoot my most recent project anamorphic!

    However, am in need of some cash and thought I might spread the love around. Just seeing if anyone would be interested in buying my Kowa 8z.

    Excellent condition; works great. I've even got an extra clamp I can throw in too.

    I'm in Austin, Texas USA - would prefer a local transaction if possible. 

    I paid $720 for it in December of 2016.

    What's a generous price? $600? Maybe $540 if it's local?

    Let me know if there is any interest and I'll get pictures up. Thanks!

    No.  need 16h or rebranded lens.

    Okay thanks. This is all a little hard to keep straight. 

    To handle a 50mm on APS-C and achieve a sharp close focus with the CoreDNA what anamorphic do you recommend? I prefer warm flares to blue. And what price should I expect for your recommended lenses? Kowa 16-H is one? What others?

    Sorry for so many, probably newbie, questions!

  5. Hahaha - well, I forgot those tags were on the vimeo page! Ya bunch of cheaters!

    Anyway, yeah, thanks for taking a look. Obviously wasn't going for color accuracy - it is a movie after all - so this is heavily graded.

    Not pissed at all - was interesting to see what people thought.

    The trailer is more of a teaser trailer type thing, mostly for mood and some images, not really for story. Full thing runs 35 minutes for the curious.

     

    Anyway, while I liked the BMPC4k somewhat, I struggled with field pattern noise a lot.
    Low light was pretty bad. That stuff at night by the blue truck was blasted with a 1k and a couple 650s. Plus noise reduction.
    I think it all came out looking pretty good but I'm not really feeling shooting my next project on the bm4k.


    Any suggestions for a camera? I really only need it for narrative work. Films, music videos, etc.

    5d3 with ML raw is interesting to me, but I worry about battery life and media storage. And to fix those things would make the whole rig awful big and I'd love to be able to be on something like a Ronin M often.

  6. Just wanted to say hello. Only just discovered this site recently and I'm a big fan.

    I recently finished a short film (late 2015) and just got around to cutting a trailer for it.

    Was hoping you'd give it a watch, and, for fun, try to guess what camera was used!

    Then, we can discuss the camera, my settings, etc. And I can ask lots of questions I have before I get my next camera!

    Thanks in advance, looking forward to chatting!
