What a great thread. Thanks for the instructionals! I might add a tidbit for anyone thinking of undertaking this and doing their own soldering. It's always a good idea to cut and make your joins at separate parts of the wires instead of cutting them all at one point and having all the solder...

Hello SJX, I would love to be added to the F35 owner list please! I ended up changing over my F23 to a 35 with an upgrade kit purchased from ebay. Some of you may have seen this front panel before, as I believe it's changed hands a few times. Complete with an EF backcap to keep the dust out...

This may be an odd question or I may be interpreting it incorrectly, but does anyone know what is happening when you switch off the gamma in the F35/23? Is it showing a linear image that you could otherwise gamma encode in post? It produces a contrasty dark looking image when switched off...

An update for the very few (I'm sure) that may be interested in this thread. I have progressed in attaching and using the SR-R1 in standard dual link mode. Yes it's heavy, yes it's relatively power hungry, yes it's convoluted but hey, for the price (less than 2% of it's original list price, I...

Does the F35/F23 actually spin the fan down completely when recording, or better put, is there a silent mode during VTR operation? I had a try of grounding pin 3 on the 24v connector on my F23 and indeed it does trigger record mode, in both VF and tally light but I notice that regardless of the...

Hey Mike, To update you on this, I seem to get this kind of pattern noise on my camera when I'm in 50 or 60p mode. 24/25p is totally devoid of it (that I can see). It's not overly noticable in 50/60, but in cases where gain is ramped up or there's particularly dark images on screen I can see...

So it's been a few days and I've done some experimenting with the SR-R1. Firstly the non locking v-mount plate thing (for joining it with the F900R) presents some challenges for securing the unit but it can at least be joined temporarily to the F23. I was getting caught up in the 5th edition...

After some testing with the SR-R1, I can confirm that the F23 (in it's supposed latest firmware) only outputs 10bit 4:4:4 out of the IF box. 12bit doesn't seem possible as the recorder throws a warning code alerting that the recording bit depth doesn't match the payload ID coming from camera...

Hello, I was able to pick up a new (in box) SR-R1 recorder and SR-D1 offload station this weekend for a steal and it also included the interconnection parts, control panel and some 256gb cards. I'd like to try and use this with my F23 as it seems like a decent recorder and in the latest...

Putting my hand up. Here is the lady in preparation for a shoot tomorrow.

I'm assuming you've moved past this now, but in the off chance you're still looking to make the thing usable you could do a couple of mods or add a custom intermediate cable connector. I can't see the images from the original ebay post, so I'm guessing this optex VF is based off a Sony BVF-10...

Hello all, Thank you for the useful contributions you have posted to this board over time. I am now the excited owner of an F23. The 2/3" format is not really desired these days but it fits in comfortably with the work I am currently doing (documentary, event etc) and I'm still very pleased...
