Here's an update on an original Igus slider 1m long.

FS700 is too heavy for a center supported slider so I bought a 4"x1/4" aluminum bar stock (purchased for $11.25) 1m long and bolted it to the...

I'm glad that D. Levine's sarcasm and cynicism in the opening salvo on this thread has given way to one of the most helpful and informative discussions we've had recently.

Not only that but Dan...

I found a great used EF 17-40 L f4 on CraigsList for less than $550. Don't be turned back by the f4 - the Mk3 can easily handle a higher ISO with no noise. Also picked up a EF 24-105 L f4 for $750...

Wrong... but why am I not surprised you would say that.
Cameras and lenses are but tools to express the vision of the DP and enhance the film
Sadly, you seem to think that the DP's job is to make...

Alex: I'm always bothered by directors who take all the credit and fail to even name the DP. This is a beautiful piece as seen thru the eyes of Ryan Taylor and I'm disappointed that I had to read...

A matte box is used for controlling light (french flag, eyebrow, etc.), adding filters (4x4 ND grads) and improving the captured image and not to impress a client or producer. I use it for both...

FWIW department. I have a Lectro 200/201 in Block 28 zone that I kept putting off exchanging for a Block 23-26.

Finally called Lectro service dept and they agreed to exchange my units for a new...

I kept the MetaBones II when I bought the new SpeedBooster and find great use for both. Normally, I use the II on my Canon 24-105 L and the SpeedBooster on the Canon 17-40 L - what a joy to have...

I spent as much for my Sachtler 18 with carbon legs as I spent for my FS700. Only difference is I bought the Sachtler in 1995 and it has supported a total of 8 different cameras from my BVW-D600 to...

I haven't used the 24-70 2.8 but I have heard good reports about it - certainly more economical than a comparable Canon. I find the momentary auto-focus before recording to be quite helpful with the...

Don't confuse Tv mode with 'Television' - it stands for Time variable, meaning you set the exposure time (1/50 or 1/60) while your iris will be all over the place auto-exposing. Best to stick with M...

Contax C/Y lenses have f/rings so all you need is an inexpensive manual adaptor from eBay or elsewhere.

I have a set (25,35,50,85) of Zeiss Contax C/Y manual lenses that focus the correct way, are extremely sharp and easily adaptable. Paid about $1500 for the four from different dealers - a great...

Great data - thanks for posting. Will load and try your Flaat styles today.

My answer to jamani is, yes, there is definitely a (quantifiable/qualifiable) FF look that no other camera offers. For me, after 40 years of shooting 8mm, 16mm, 35mm, 6x6cm, 6x9cm, 4x5, 5x7, 8x10,...
