Hi there,

I'm selling the following kit... All the eBay listings pages have lots of photos and details.

The full listing of video and audio kit is now (with the current price)

New stuff I...

I'm selling off a bunch of my video kit on eBay. Most of it's on for at least 8 days. The camera is in good condition and has 335 hours on the drum. Please see the eBay listing for more details.

Hi there,

I've shot a fair number of interviews over the years one-man-band and I usually either use a wired or wireless lavalier. Sometimes I'll use my MKH-416t. But I'm about to start a series...

Hi there,

I have an MKH-416T microphone which requires a 12v T-Power supply. For a while I've been using a 48v to 12v in line converter but I now want to build a 12v T-Power supply.

I know...

Sounds interesting. How does the juicedlink control the camera's AGC? Does it send a constant, inaudible tone to the camera? If so, does this inject any audible hiss?

I must have been wrong. Sorry. Thanks for the clarification.

Sorry, my bad - thanks for the correction!



Hmm... I definitely* had my hands on a 11-16mm Nikon mount lens yesterday and the focus ring just span and span without moving the lens elements when...

I'm interested in exploring the options for using "vintage" lenses like the Angenieuxs. I've read a little bit about using Angenieux Bolex (16mm) lenses but I'm not too keen about using the 2x...

So, I'm still looking for a fast and wide zoom. I've just looked at some lenses in the flesh. The NIKON 17-55 DX would be perfect except for the price and the lack of hard stops on the focus. The...

A quick lens question: do any zooms exist which are faster than f2.8?

Yeah, the Novoflex works very nicely. You can't tell exactly what f-stop the aperture is set to but you certainly can control the aperture using the Novoflex adapter.

A few quick updates.

I did hire the Nikon 17-55mm f2.8 for a GH1 video shoot. I love that lens. Built like a tank (it dwarfs the GH1). Very easy to focus with in manual focus mode.

I fear...

Hello!

Can anyone recommend a good UK supplier of "roll-your-own" 15mm rods (steel, aluminium or carbon fibre)? I too am not too happy about spending £100 on some small tubes of metal. I'm not...

Cool, thanks for the reply. Hmm. I might try to rent the Tamron to see how I get on before buying it. It does get good reviews from stills photographers. e.g.

May I ask: what is your Tamron 17-50/2.8 like when using it in manual-focus mode? Is it easy to pull focus manually?

I think it's the NVMFTNIK. I bought mine from here: http://www.speedgraphic.co.uk/prod.asp?i=19226&1=Novoflex+Micro+Four+Thirds+Adaptor

Thanks for all the replies.

Just to emphasise one point: the real beauty of wikis is that anyone can edit them! So feel free to dive in and add details. To be entirely honest, I simply don't...

The Novoflex Nikon to micro 4/3rds adapter was £149 when I bought it last week. And yes, it can definitely control aperture (although I don't think it's possible to know exactly which aperture it's...

Oooohh! EXCELLENT find! Perfect, many thanks.

OK, I've just done some more Googling. This page seems to have a fairly exhaustive list of manual-focus Nikon zooms:

Many thanks for the replies!

That Olympus 14-35mm sounds lovely but, as you say, it is pricey.

I'm keen to avoid spending large lumps of cash on 4/3rds or micro-4/3rds lenses. My plan is to...

I know most people are planning to use prime lenses but I've got a doccu project coming up and I think a zoom would help a lot. I have my eye on a Nikon DX 17-55mm f2.8 zoom but it aint cheap. Just...

OK. Thanks for the replies.

I have heard that the Rode VideoMic (mono) has better "reach" than the Panasonic mic. I presume this is because the Rode is a "proper" shotgun mic. I'm not too bothered by having stereo sound. ...
