Time to part with my cherished Isco Gottingham Iscorama pre-36 Anamorphic lens 1.5x. with taking lens in Nikon mount. 50mm. Really great condition lens with clean optics, iris very smooth all around, a little stuff around f2.8. No trades, accepting offers. Located in Toronto, Canada. Shipping...

Some DVX'ers may remember this short film I filmed back when the Sony F55 first came out and had used it to shoot a short film called "Uncommon Enemies". I'm pleased to announce that after 5 years of film festival screenings around the world, some awards even, and a world rights...

Anyone know of a decent mounting plate for a tilta nucleus-m mounting plate? I can't seem to find anything or know where to look/ thanks,

Alister posted this a couple hours ago: "New firmware for the FS7 will allow you to bake in gain/offset in Cine EI. So the log recording can have reduced gain for less noise, but thus will lower the dynamic range." photo property of Alister Chapman:

This test is quite interesting, mainly because I have a shoot coming up mixing RED Dragon with F55 and it's clear that with some grading effort they will match quite well. Helium however has some strange stuff going on, glad the shoot is not Helium and F55. RAW TEST: F55 R5, Helium, Red Dragon...

Sony released Venice 3d LUT for slog3/sgamut3.cine. Download it here: http://www.hingsberg.com/2018/05/sony-venice-rec709-venice-3d-lut/ #mkiiforfree ;)

Did a test to compare a few de-logging methods. Included the base Magenta Killer 3D LUT which features a small skin booster and additionally combined a "mkii knee". Definitely think CST is huge improvement over LC709A. https://youtu.be/U9e9x5cIf2w "mkii knee" More testing/experimenting...

Any idea why for some Sony F65's selling used on the market the LDS pins are cut and removed? Is this on purpose or because a pin or two broke so hence all subsequently removed.

I just bought this 6G SDI to HDMI mini converter from Blackmagic design for only $185 USD which allows loading two 33 point 3D LUTs and will convert 4K SDI to 4K HDMI, and even down convert 4K to HD. I intend on using this on-set for adding Rec709 LUT to slog feed from SDI out of my cameras...

Wow wow wow https://www.facebook.com/groups/358423864366622/permalink/794169167458754/

For FS7/F5/F55 - no 3D LUTs in custom mode slog or CineEI with S&Q ? For FS5 - no 3D LUTs period for monitoring or playback, or for using exposure compensated LUTs to help with overexposing? No problem!! For only $185 it does a lot more... the blackmagic mini converter 6G SDI to HDMI! I...

Is this really correct? Sony said in press conference: "they have refined the color science, given the camera a more natural highlight roll off, improved skin tone rendition, and created a more elegant and organic looking image" So they copy Venice then sell for 1/10th price?

Looks like a 4K BMPCC will be announced soon.... .
