Jonathan from Cinemek emailed me and said he's unable to confirm when he'll be shipping the adapter. He states he still needs to work out some kinks. Still... this could be sooner or later.
 
that s some news! i'll still buy the guerilla when it will be released but i'm going to buy something else before that. the letus is really grainy. the m2 gives a dreamy look. i love the ifocus footages i ve seen. does anybody know where i can find some uncompressed ifocus footages?
 
I can help out :) but my camera is pretty terrible i think PaPa just got his adapter too - just see if he will send you some footage. (far better than my sony handycam could produce :) )
 
I think if people want a static solution like the Guerilla35 should seriously think about getting an iFocus from Twocik because the footage and grabs seen from this adapter remind me of the BETA Guerilla35, he seriously has a winning adapter. And the grabs are usually just test footage so I can't wait til someone uses it for their movie so they can really put it to test.
 
the ifocus is nice but it seems that you have to choose the exact lens you will use with it when purchasing. i need something with is adaptable to lenses sd, hd, ..... i can t put that price for a single specific lens to use.
 
I didn't know that about the iFocus.......that's strange, but I guess I never noticed it had no mount.......
 
you can change the lenses on the ifocus. you just have to choose the type of mount when you order (like most adapters) then you can put whatever lens you like on it that fits the mount....

I think you usually order it with a lens so that the guy that makes them can make sure it is callibrated for that type of lens mount.
 
ok, i just read again the mail from the ifocus guy. he gave examples of prices with different konica lenses (very different prices). and asked me what fstop, what milimeter, what kind of lens i wanted the adapter for. and in the end faq:"Is the ifocus interchangeable?""Yes, I just need the lens to calibrate the focal length".
i misunderstood. he's probably selling lenses with the adapter. so i firstly thought he was adapting the ifocus to a specific lens.
it's still a very very nice adapter
 
I have two gorgeous geared primes1,4/50mm for the first and second sharp eyes and minds to find out something unusual in this clip:

Pay attention to a segment of four seconds, from 3:46 to 3:50 in the movie (the wide shoot from the hallway), spell out what you think may be wrong with that footage and if you see what I see and spell out the cause, my lenses are on the way to you. Third, fourth and fifth to confirm will also receive a free focus gear each (shipping on me!).

I leave it with you (no clues from me, so don't ask). Good luck.
 
I don't suppose its the little bit of vignetting on the bottom left corner or the flickering of the light on the left side, is it?
 
my guess is the vibrating GG is slipping or stuck (there is a speck of grain thats caught on the surface that seems to be moving clockwise)- and the lower left side of the frame seems to be "sliding" to the right and and I think this is causing a dark spot that forms in the very corner. Much more static grain seems to visible.

(Whats most unusual is how we are more concerned with the image than the subject matter in those 5 seconds :evil: )

It's a static GG (G35 beta), there's a fair amount of grain visible throughout on bright surfaces like the sky or the sheets. The flicker is the most obvious problem which is caused by slowing an interlaced clip to 50% and rendering out interpolated progressive. May also be a conflict between flourescent lighting at 50Hz and the shutter speed used. There's a fair hotspot, if not down to condensor set up may be caused by a wide angle lens (they tend to have a smaller aperture) where the light hits the GG at an angle causing grain shadow.

OR MAYBE....

maybe they were lighting the left wall with some sort of sodium vapor lamp that had a flash rate that messes with the RPMs of a spinning GG?

OR MAYBE....

one side of the vibrating GG is static while the other side is still vibrating- it looked like the right wall had static grain while the left didnt.

I dont think its a static adapter. In anycase- the film looked great and I gotta work tommorow. Time for sleepytime :) :)
 
It's the Guerilla 35 beta unit, which is static. Macgregor has posted many of his videos using it, including this one. And the flicker is down to the 50% render to progressive. It appears in an outdoor shot as well (Macgregor mentioned the problem on DVinfo a while back).
 
I'm seeing a blue tinted flicking of the left side and a little flicking on the right, vignetting in the left bottom corner and also a piece of dust/spot toward the left bottom corner.

Well, that nasty grain mask is exactly what I've been working so hard to get rid of with the new Brevis f1.4 to f4 match diffuser options :-)
 
it's the autofocus which was on. i had the same flickering problem the first day with a dvx100 and, since, i'm always on manual focusing and everything is fine. the autofocus can't choose between the room and the wall. well, just my assumption. :-)
