Hi guys, I have been using a Novoflex adapter (EOS/NIK) w/ my Canon 5D Mkii and Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AIS lens for a couple of months now – with excellent results. Problem is... I can't get the adapter off my Nikon lens! The instructions from the adapter's manual are to take the setup off the 5D and...

hey guys, I need some angelic kind of help. I'm home visiting my family and our beloved old eMac (1.25 Ghz, 1 GB) is sick. Months earlier, while I was in Paris, I had assisted over the phone my mom & dad in doing a restore of the eMac, since it had been behaving bizarrely and we had tried out...

Hi everyone, I have just upgraded my equipment and I'm now the proud owner of a Sony EX1 and Letus Extreme adapter (to use with Nikon lenses). I'm in the market for prime lenses: I currently own a Nikkor 50mm 1.8 AIS lens and I'm looking to get a wide angle and a telephoto lens. I live in...

Hey guys. First off, I apologize if my question may seem retarded, but I've done a bit of research online and found no answer to my question. I just purchased a Sony EX1 camera, and I plan on ordering soon the Letus Extreme adapter, which I plan on using with Nikon lenses. Now, a nearby photo...

Hi guys, I'm about to start working on a documentary that will require a lot of screencaps of web sites (text + image, they contain no flash animation or video) and scanned newspaper and magazine articles. I really liked the flying 3D camera effect used in this video (German TV program)...

hi there! i'm writing because i'm just about to start the shoot of a corporate video and i need a lightweight portable monitor. the DP who worked on my previous fiction film always used a portable dvd player, connected to the DVX by cable. i'd like to do the same thing and am looking for a...

hello there. i need to shoot page inserts for a couple of scenes in my film. basically, i have already shot the character looking down at his manuscript, reading pages from his play (he's a playwright). now i need to do POV shots, showing close-ups of words / phrases. i thought of going...

i'm experiencing problems w/ subtitles. now, i have taken a scene out of my film and now all the subtitles i made in DVD Studio Pro are out of sync. It drives me positively insane that DVDSP 2 does not allow you to move more than one subtitle at a time. The film is feature-length and changing...

While editing some recent footage of Tokyo it occurred to me that it'd be sooooo much easier to organize clips if i could create additional custom labels w/ other colors (think orange, pink, etc.). Wonder if there are any FCP hacks/add-ons that let you do it?

I've just noticed that my DVX100a is experiencing problems while focusing on objects that are positioned really close to it. Long story short – I've got some video clips of Tokyo captured with my brand new Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 digital camera. The 30fps/16:9 videos look absolutely gorgeous...
