    Mount Kilimanjaro

    I am looking to climb Mt Kilimanjaro early next year with a group of mates and have been thinking about documenting the experience into a film. Very early days but am starting to research and develop the idea and what the real story of the film could be rather than blokes walk up mountain...

    Does the Metabones Speedbooster/Smart Adapter work on AF100?

    Does anyone know or has anyone tried the Metabones Canon EF Lens to Micro Four Thirds Smart Adapter on a Panasonic AF100? I have the RRmicro but this looks a lot easier and functional. Be great to hear any thoughts or successes. Cheers.

    Lost in Translation

    I am presently shooting an observational documentary in Cairo, Egypt. I speak a little Arabic, enough to understand the subject of the conversations I am filming but not enough to be able to understand exactly what is being said. I am looking for a good translation service or if there is...

    From focus to EVF to power

    So moving on from my post Focus, Focus, Focus I have managed to find some funds for an EVF and am looking at the Cineroid EVF 4c, i cannot afford the metal just now. So my next, possibly stupid, question is how to power it using either a panasonic battery such as the CGA-E 625 through some...

    Focus, Focus, Focus

    So I am sure I am going to get burnt here at some stage but here goes... I am shooting in a reasonably low light situation, which is also incredibly dusty, on the AF100 with a Redrock Live Lens converter using Cannon 16-35 and 24-70 EF lenses at between F2.8 and F3.5 and ISO 400, except in a...

    Jerky movement from Manfrotto Monopod w/ Pana AF100

    I am shooting doco on a AF100 mounted on the manfrotto monopod 561bhdv. Why? You ask? Because the space I have to shoot in is about the size of a large dinning room table and there is often more than three people in there. But my question is I am getting a lot of jerky sudden movement from the...

    Cleaning a very dusty AF100

    I have a relatively new AF100 and have been shooting for a week now in Cairo, Egypt. Cairo is a very dusty, dirty city and cameras and Cairo I can't imagine mix well. The place I am shooting in is a minimum 400 year old market and I spend most days there. The dust is so thick you can see it...

    Pin hole on AF100?

    Going by a thread I cannot find right now about the best lenses for a newbie AF100 user. There was a response suggesting, amongst other things, to use a pin hole lens made out of a body cap. So I found this http://www.pixiq.com/article/diy-pinhole-for-dslr And am now thinking, would this work...

    Sachtler Ace vs Miller Solo DV10 for AF100

    Now there is a bit of me that thinks this may be like comparing chalk and cheese but I will ask anyways. I am in need of a light weight durable tripod with a good fluid head. The two I have come across are the Sachtler Ace and the Miller Solo DV10. I have worked with the Miller using a Sony Z5...

    Canon EF Adaptor blows my mind!

    From my reading of the EF Adaptors for Canon lenses for FS100 there is one to come out soon though is expected that the unicorn and big foot will both out themselves at the same time, date unknown, and then there are some other adaptors on the market that no one is really sure of. So my...

    Whats the most basic rig required for a AF100?

    I am in the throws of a nervous breakdown as I am trying to decide between a Canon 5D and a Panasonic AF100. My decision is realistically nearing completion and looking at the AF100. I come from shooting on Sony Z5 and am looking to change it up a bit, lens wise. I have Canon EF mount lenses. I...
