Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, I've used it for a while but am considering trading it and correctly identifying it will be a huge help. It seems to be just a "Cartoni Focus" but because it is no longer made by Cartoni I can't find the exact specifications on their website or a...

It seems that the Cartoni Focus uses a proprietary plate size for their quick release plate - has anyone come up with a solution for what to replace it with so that you can mount your camera + qr plate quickly on other systems? It doesn't look like they sell just the supports - the closest I can...

Hi! I am selling a Voigtlander 17.5mm F.95 lens for MFT. It is like-new condition with original box, lens hood, and caps. Works perfectly optically and mechanically. Brilliant lens! $850 shipped from Los Angeles. Local pick-up available, trade offers OK! More pictures available upon request.

These are LOMO OCT-19 mount lenses pulled from 35mm soviet CINE cameras. I have shot through both and have measured the rear elements. Clickless, etc. More photos available upon request, can also send frames that have been shot on each. All lenses come with both rear and front caps. Edit: 2...

Hello! I just finished a project and no longer need my GH2 - I am selling it along with two Konica Hexanon lenses and a Konica-MFT adapter so that they can be used with the GH2. All lenses are in perfect optical condition, with no blemishes to the image. Sensor on GH2 is also in perfection...

I'm selling off my HMC-150, tripod, and some of the accessories, as they were purchased to make a film which never happened. The HMC150 only has 17 hours of use on it, and all of that use was indoors. It's also been covered for its entirety with a high quality Haze-1 72MM Tiffen filter. Shipping...

The standard battery that was originally included with the camera purchase worked, the 8GB of memory works as well, but the high capacity battery that we were sent is completely dead and won't charge. Any ideas?

Hey guys, I just purchased a used 503HDV. I've never used this head before, and I'm trying to figure out if I'm just an idiot or if something might be wrong (shipping damage). Everything works fine, it seems, except for the panoramic drag adjustment. I was testing it and noticed that tilt moves...

How long does it usually take for an account to be approved? I've been waiting around a week and tried emailing Chris but haven't had any luck with being able to post replies.

I'll be primarily mic-ing indoor narrative work with a pretty quiet set, though some of them will be in small rooms or areas, and sometimes with an inexperienced boom op. Will the AKG give me too much handling noise? With outdoor use, will the AKG hold up at all? Whatever I go with, it'll be...

I'm looking for advice on which tripod to buy, I've been playing around with 501/503 'fluids'/fluids, and I'm a bit worried about stability on pans/tilts. We're trying to keep our budget as low as possible, but what's the next step up? Is it a Sachtler? What sort of kit can we put together that...

Hey everyone I've been reading through the forum quite a bit and haven't really seen this exact question asked, so I'm hoping it doesn't clog things up too much. We're looking for a starting lighting kit that's under $900, and we need everything, including gels, diffuses, bounces, balance...

My friend and I are looking at HDV cameras and trying to decide right now between Canon's XL H1 and JVC's HD110U. We're leaning toward the HD110U because of ease of use and a standard lens mount. What we're thinking about: We plan to rent P2 cards for shooting, as they're a bit too expensive...
