I'm on a job where the client would like me to use their Sigma 50mm f1.4 Art lens on my FS5. They currently have a E mount Fotodioz Pro EF-Nex Auto adaptor that they are using on their Sony A7Sii. On their set up they can adjust the iris electronically via the A7Sii's iris interface. The moment...

Usually my clients are happy with me shooting Rec709 on my FS5. But I have a job coming up where they want everything shot in S-log 2. I know Alister Chapman recommends shooting 1-2 stops over in S-log. What I would like to know is how to effectively do that using only the FS5 and it's...

I have a FS5 but have started freelancing for a firm with a FS7 in their camera line-up. It's inevitable at some point they'll either want me to shoot on their FS7 or shoot with both cameras. Having never used a FS7 I would welcome any advice on the main practical differences and gotchas...

For several years I was using PPro CS6 until swapping to CC a few months ago. In CS6 I enjoyed the logic/behaviour of the default video transition shortcut (a 20 frame dissolve in my case) applied via the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+D. Of course you had to sit the playhead/CTI over the transitional...

I'm thinkng of purchasing a Sony 18-200mm PZ to use on my FS5. I do a fair amount of run-and-gun, most of it outside. Although I have the 18-105mm kit lens it isn't giving me the reach I need plus I can personally see the degradation in quality as you push further into the clear image zoom in...

My former camera was a Canon XF300 which had a great lens/steadishoot combo for capturing long reach (shooting from a distance, mostly handheld) run and gun/doco shots. Often I'd use it in challenging scenarios abroad where you have seconds to get the shot at a distance. Although my FS5 came...

Ok, couldn't resist.... check the date.

I have recently had a new high spec edit PC built. It comes with 4 drives as follows: Drive 1 - 250Gb SSD currently the root drive. This drive is dual boot partitioned with a 50/50 split of the 250Gb. On one partition is Windows 7, on the other Windows 10. Right now I have installed Premiere...

I'm having a new edit system built and the company doing it was considering putting a Blackmagic Decklink Studio 4K card inside. That's because I want to output my Premiere timeline to an external 4K TV (a decent domestic UHD model, not a megabucks studio grade monitor) over HDMI. However...

I'm getting recommendations and quotes for a new Premiere Pro PC system. I intend to get a Sony FS5 and edit mostly in 1080 on it, but occassinaly in 4K. what do folks think of these recommendations? Is there anything you would change or upgrade for approx. £500 more? Incidentally I intend to...

I have various Nikkor lenses used on my APS-C Nikon D5300. Since most of them have electronic aperture, ie no aperture ring, will they work with an appropriate adaptor on a FS5? I'm assuming the autofocus and image sabilisation on these lenses will be inoperable whatever adapter I might purchase?

I'm on the verge of having a new edit system built and I was just wondering what folks think is the best option for grading 4K? Right now I have a good domestic 1080p HDTV connected to my Mac via a Blackmagic break out card. Thus my Premiere Pro timeline is displayed on it and I making grading...
