After a few days of cooling off I felt terrible about all this. I took the thread too personally and responded emotionally and didn't think it through. I think we all did. We are all brothers here and I hope to continue to be part of this amazing community.

Hey guys. I shared some of my videos a few days ago and it turned into a crazy thread that got super religious and out of hand. I want to apologize by the way I responded. If I came across being harsh or "matter of fact" I am really truly sorry. I will continue to make YouTube content and am taking what I have learned from this forum and will apply it to my videos going forward. 

If I offended anyone please accept my sincere apology. 

Right on brother! ??

I stumbled on them while doing research on the beloved Leica R lenses on the REDUSER forums. A reviewer brought them up and said that they are just as good or better than the Leica R's. I did more research and discovered that some of the original Zeiss ZE and ZF lenses were using the exact same glass as some of the old Contax Zeiss glass. I found a set of Contax lenses on eBay for $300 each lens and I jumped on the opportunity and love them! 
I have the 28mm 2.8, 35mm 2.8, 50mm 1.4, 85mm f2.8 and I really love them on the full frame sensor on my 1dc. I was DP for a shoot at my work and we exclusively used them for a project that was shot all C500

To the point:  I've considered Contax glass for my M43 cameras.  What's the defining characteristic of the lenses that make such a decision worthwhile?

Rev22 is speaking if an angel of the lord, not Jesus. He freely accepted worship in 
“And they that were in the boat worshipped him, saying, Of a truth you are the Son of God” (Mt. 14:33).
The  Jews killed him for claiming to be God. “You, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33).
And the Bible isnt meant to help people in some earthly way. Everyone of the apostles suffered horrible deaths and so did most of the early church. And they knew it would happen because its a promise that the world will hate the truth. 
 
 

FWIW, I'm always okay with people expressing themselves.  While I tend to have a different view on things from, say, a fundamentalist evangelical, doesn't mean I'm offended by hearing someone else's POV.  Not in the least.  I live in a country with very dogmatic and puritanical opinions about stuff that I personally think often retard the advancement of a healthier society.  However, having a thin skin about my fellow citizens that think so would be ridiculous. 
For instance, hate speech from a racist can be ugly, but I'd rather those that feel that way express themselves openly so I know who the dickheads are.  I figure one either embraces all expression or not.  It's not like some things should be cherry picked.
By all means, do what you want.  We're born in a time and place that allows it.  Be grateful for that.  Most people throughout history never got that opportunity.
I would agree with that.  It seems to me that's the direction of things overall.

Hey Dave,
If you want to recite scripture then go for it.  Your approach is your artistic quality.  I enjoyed your scripture reciting.  It is unfortunate how people get so offended so quickly.  “He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.”  Now, if you were on a crowded elevator and started to rip some juicy wet ones, then I'd think it would be fair for people to take offence unless they passed gas first.  Keep at it with your videos.  Cheers.
 

Film.

Idk, what I believe or don't believe is personal to me. But to come onto someone's post and tell them to ditch their beliefs, on their video is... kinda shitty. Just sayin'...

While these points are interesting, I think we've wandered pretty far afield of the topic...

How is quoting scripture exclusionary?
Not religious personally, but it didn't bother me.
1DC produces lovely skin tones, and the contrast/color on the C/Y Zeiss is so choice. Liked the edit and lighting too.
What exactly are you dissatisfied with in your current setup?

This has nothing to do with publicly praying in order to be praised. That's what the pharisees did. Jesus said this, but he also read and quoted scripture publicly. The two are clearly different, but I think you already know that. 

As do most, but religion is a niche market too.

Nobody quotes script to be cool, they do it to share the gospel with the lost. You just said he lost you when he read it, so it was meant for you.  Good for you Dave, nice review too!

What do I have to do to call myself a storyteller
Contaxes look good, what is your set? Did you build it on eBay? 

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I have been diving into YouTube and am excited about putting out more and more content. My two cameras now are the Canon G7X II which I use for Vlogs and my Canon 1DC. I have a Love/Hate relationship with my 1DC. I really really wish I had autofocus but every time I look at the IQ I am so happy. Clog is what I shoot on and thats it. I have shot on the EOSHD flat profile and used the Canon EOS Utility app on my Mac to control focus and settings for studio stuff and that helps a bit (You can't use any autofocus while in Clog) By the way...the video below has "sharpening" in post. I put it on there but its too much. Going to tone it down next time. 
 
When I am fully operating the camera it is great! Especially at my full time job where I am creating YouTube content for someone else. Operating the camera is a breeze and with a Zacuto Gratical EVF on top I get all the video camera things I need like Waveform and Focus Peaking. My CONTAX Zeiss glass always looks so great. I am converting everything to 4K ProRes LT to save space and to run better. Its annoying but its ok. I just set it and let it run while I do other things at work. Im doing one video a week for Anthony ONeal and plan on continuing to use my 1DC for it. IDK what to do. Really want something with AF but also with a flip out screen that shoots 4K. Considering the GH5 but am waiting for NAB.. 
 
 
 

Well if you're going to bring facts into it John.....
DOH !!!!
Thanks
