well Avenger007 so far nothing....... Anyone?

[PappasArts]

So is there an example of all the Brevis CF1 thru 3 to see the difference of performance....?

There's footage on the sight cinevate sight. There's footage on this site as well just search for Brevis. There's footage on Dvinfo as well. People have posted a ton of stuff with all of these GG's over the last 8 months. Truthfully though what's it matter? I have the cf1l and have never felt the need for the 2 or 3, some people swear by the 2 or 3. I agree with disjecta, sometimes you gotta just jump in.

Strange how cinevate doesn't even show any example on thier website. I guess you just have to buy with blind fate. Even if you read through the whloe cinevate forum. You can't seem to find any pictures and example of what the different CF does . You only hear from what others say it does and I think I can across an example that show a Focusing chart with the different CF. But you can't seem to find an example of how the different CF affect the Bokeh of the image

I really wonder how they manage to sell the different CF. I think they should back thier statements with pictures. So that new buyers can see and decide

Well, if the focussing chart didn't help you, and you are primarily concerned with the Bokeh, then why not look at the footage available? Surely, you will be able to get an idea of the differences in diffusion.

While I agree with you that the purchase page could offer some example shots of the differences of each, I don't exactly think you are left to buy blindly.

For me, seeing footage from the same shooter (in my case Phil Bloom) who has shot with most of the CF's helped.

Honestly, if you don't already have a brevis, then you should be looking at CF1Le (if hvx) on your initial purchase. I wouldn't stress over the other diffusers.

[PappasArts]

You need to have a brevis loaded up with the same lens ( 50mm nikon preferably ) and shoot the same setup while swapping out the different CF screens. This would give nearly an exact performance differnce.

Brevis is the only one of its kind to offer three different variable looks to choose from. It would be nice to see in FULL REZ how they all compare... IMHO

[Giovanni Bertani]

I can only agree with this.

They asnwer very quickly to your requests but I do not understand why they are not publishing a better manual.

In a day they could collect their answers to the customers in a pdf document, this could save to them a lot of time and probably also hep their sales with undecided people...

Cheers

Giovanni, our new location (we're moving!) has a small dedicated studio, and a dedicated SKYPE/video conferencing setup for visual support. The workstations will all have HD direct outputs to a 1080p viewing panel that will also help quickly evaluate footage. The Cinevate forum has been a great support resource, but we're also adding a paper quick start guide (in the box) as well as some innovative other support tools. The 8 part "Guide to Everything" video series was to be shot in a rented studio, but now that we're building one, we're doing it all in-house.

You're right, our manuals could be a lot better...and they will need to be for both the adapter side of things and the uber cool stuff coming. Today also saw the arrival of a new fellow who you'll all be getting to know very well. This addition to the Cinevate team (Hubert has 20+ years in the film industry, and speaks 4 languages) will do more for support likely than anything else!

This is great news and, as usual, I really appreciate your very fast answer. Thanks!

The only thing that I could suggest is to spend a short time to put in a single "draft" user notes the very useful information you already posted on the website. So by downloading it and printing it a user can have a more immediate knowledge of the issues behind Brevis and the others products.

With the forum and its users, I was able to find all the information that are not yet on paper. So this will be a short-cut to what you can today already find on your website if you browse in the pages.

I look forward to see your new products of what seams a very very interesting project for us in he indie field. Also... I will be coming to Canada in January so probably I will have a new order of the "cool stuff" I see is coming soon. :thumbsup:
