Anyone have this problem? I'm using Zeiss Still Primes (F Mount) with a Fotodiox adapter on my 7D. The exposure reading is completely off. When the camera is telling me the shot is exposed, it's completely underexposed. The F mount Zeiss primes have a manual aperture ring. The Zeiss EF mount...

Has anyone used the new Genus Follow Focus? I can't find a review on it anywhere. From the pictures, it looks like it has the ability to move the gear up and down. This would enable you to use the FF with 1D Mark IV. The price is a lot better than the Zacuto. But if it doesn't move up and down...

Hi Everyone, Got a quick question for anyone who runs their own production company and/or travels a lot for their shoots and has to provide insurance for sound stages when they shoot. Here's the question... What insurance company are you using? I started my LLC years ago as a way of running...

I have a shoot coming up and I'm planning to use two Canon 7Ds. I bought them to use on a new documentary I'm shooting, but I wanted to try them out on this corporate shoot. Of course, I don't want to screw up the audio for this shoot either so here's the question... The 7D has no control over...

Does anyone have any info as to how well the 7D image will project on the big screen and how well it'll...

I got my Brevis 35 yesterday and I spent about 5 hours last night trying to lining up the adapter. It was completely out of whack when I put it on. I moved the achromat and flip rings back and forth for hours. I finally got it to line up perfectly and when I attached it to the rails, it went out...

I've been going back and forth with buying a 35mm adapter for my HPX170. I just got the Canon 7D, which I love, but I have jobs coming up where I'll still need the 35mm adapter. I originally ordered the Cinemek G35, but had to reverse the charges on it through my credit card company. It didn't...
