    Does anyone have the for the F35?

    As some of you know I am developing and configuring a Controller Board that will give us Quad SDI and Trigger REC for the F35, but I need to carry one last experiment. I would need to borrow a CAF101 and Optical Connection for a quick test. If I can't borrow, I would like to know if someone...

    F35 Dynamic Range Test - 15 stops?

    I know we all talk about dynamic range... I went ahead and shot a white poly and went from pure white down the scale... 15 stops. Download below. Shot on slog sgamut 450 'base' iso. If we don't count black and pure white, we do have detail in 14 stops where detail can be recovered from them...

    Sony F35 Codec Resolution Tests

    So a while back I did some tests and I received questions here and on my Vimeo about sharpness. The shots had different level of detail but it was a focusing issue. I have done a very simple test to clear this issue out. Soundtrack from Se7en. Coz otherwise I’d fall asleep looking at these...

    Did I ever share this? - 501 DAY

    Shot this in 2018. Had some fun with some talented kids. Had a little less fun carrying the F35... but heck. It's always worth it. I have now a much lighter shoulder setup and battery option for shooting in 422 that I will share with you guys on another post. ProRes 10bit 442 on BM Video Assist.

    Handle Plate Anyone?

    I am looking for a top plate to which the handle (I have) attaches. Sony has them in Japan, and they are $160... but take about 4 weeks to arrive. So I thought maybe someone here has a spare one they want to sell. Does anyone have one?

    F35 Black Balancing

    Had a funny exchange with a great (young) DP who rented my camera. Found a hot pixel. Asked him if he had done a Black Balance. He said he did during camera prep before the shoot. I told him, better to do it a few minutes after you start the camera every day you shoot. Here is his response...

    F35 - Single 3G SDI straight out of camera - Yes it's possible to get 12BIt 444

    Well, I think it is... still experimenting. I have 2 options: 1. Drill the IFBOX on the 'clean' left side and insert the three SDI outs out of the Multiplexer - That would give me 2x3G SDI outs and 1 HD SDI out. I would also leave the original 2 HDSDI outs intact. BUT, I think I would have to...

    SRW1 on F35 - first impressions

    So I got hold of 3 units and they all come with all the boards. I have 2 F35 and that way I will keep another one for parts. First impression is that this is an amazingly built unit. Just sits right into the F35. Whole thing feels like a ‘real’ camera. Great not to have bunch of sdi wires...

    Slog vs ISO800 HG8

    I discovered this in the manual. Check the footage. I was surprised that the ISO800 HG8 has less noise in the blacks, and more DR in general. Footage grossly overexposed for the purpose of this test. HG8 goes up to IRE 109, slog clips at IRE 104... What do you guys think...
