yeah, after a couple more hours reading through last night, I downloaded the MLVFS program and used some options within that to take care of the issue, which worked beautifully! It even took care of the black hole sun. : )

holy crap! I just cruised over to the ML forums on the Pink Dots and I was not ready for the amount of info I got into. Multiple programs and pixel mapping and coding?!! Am I screwed? Did I start a project that has no real answer?! haha. oh man, my head is spinning from that forum.

Thank you so much for the feedback!

So I finally got my 6mm Pentax Cosmicar 1.2 C-Mount Lens in and decided to take it for a spin today. It was a game changer!!! While I was waiting for that lens to come in I was using a Canon 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 on an EF-M converter and it was always too bright to use during the day even at f/16 and the 5x crop was horrendous, but as I hoped, everything changed and became clear and made sense once I got the Pentax 6mm. I used the same settings as @Matt James Smith ? (thanks for the specs by the way Matt!): 6mm f/1.2 Pentax TV lens (have not yet added a shim for infinity focus) EOSM with latest ML build 18fps override (exact) 5x zoom 4:3 aspect 1440 x 1072 I LOVE THE LOOK SOOOOO MUCH!! THE ONLY ISSUE ON THIS FIRST RUN WAS THOSE DAMNED PINK DOTS!!! I know they have been discussed on other threads, so it's time to dive deep into that issue, but for now I couldn't be happier! Only effects are some slight dust and movement via FCPX's "Aged Film". Other than that, it's straight out of camera. Also per Matt's deduction, I have slowed all clips down to 72% duration on a 24FPS timeline in FCPX. Here is a little vid I put together quickly from the shots I took in the Santa Barbara Harbor this morning. So far I'm only in for $160-$170 on the build, including the body, c-mount adapter, pistol grip and Pentax Lens (which I won for a steal on eBay for $40)! THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE HERE FOR HELPING ME GET TO THIS POINT!!! ? And if I can be of any service with my still limited knowledge...I'm happy to help anyone!!

Also does anyone have a Schneider 6-66 1.8 they would like to sell?

I love this! Thank you for the setup specs. I do have one questions though. I understand setting everything up in the ML backend...but does it matter what you tell the EOS's software to film in? 1920x30, 1280x60, 640x30, etc? OR does the ML software take precedence and picking a framerate on the EOS itself have no effect? THANK YOU!

Do you know what build and settings were used for this first video? I would love to get to that. Thank you so much! First time putting ML on my EOS M and even though I've been a photographer and built my own computers when i was 15...I still find this software a little alien and confusing at the moment.

good to know. I'll hunt for a 6-66. Thank you!

Does anyone know if the Angenieux 6-80mm 1.2 C mount would be to large or heavy to attach to a c-mount adapter on the EOS M? Does anyone here have ay experience with this lens? Is it better to wait and find a 6-66 in either Schneider or Angenieux? Thank you so much! B

I love what you did with the Schneider...but how did you get it to mount to the M? Does the 6-66 come in an L Mount and you maybe got an L mount adapter? Thank you so much in advance!
