I was working on a little music video today and decided to pull out my Zeiss C/Y 50mm 1.7 for a few quick shots. I noticed right off the bat it wasn't focusing properly. It was focused at about 2 ft, and adjusting the focus ring did nothing. It felt like it was somehow disconnected--definitely...

I've only used the lens 5 or 6 times. It came with my 7D. It's in perfect condition and has had a 72mm Tiffen UV filter on it from day one. Asking $325 shipped.

Had a shoot last week with the fs100 and zeiss zf lenses. We had the novoflex adapter, which made it to where we had to lock the aperture on the lens and adjust using the adapter instead, which doesn't give any indication of f stop. It was a bit odd, but this part wasn't a huge concern, since I...

Just like it sounds. Tried it on two 5Ds and a 7D. I'm using a cheap eBay adapter from big_is, which is supposed to work fine. When set to infinity, focus is actually around 20ft. Any ideas?

I'm selling my Signature Edition Steadicam Merlin. I've filmed a ton of stuff with it, mostly with my 7D and Tokina 11-16. Lately it's just been sitting in my closet. It comes with all the original accessories. I couldn't track down the instructional DVD, so I bought a new one and included it as...

My recorder shut off sometime during a shoot. The second half of my audio is straight from the camera. It happens at 1:45 in the video. I can probably figure out how to cut some of the room tone out of that terrible audio, but I don't know the first thing about making that dialog sound fuller...

My brother has been into parkour and free running for a while. He gets shoe companies to send him new shoes to test out from time to time. Here's a video we shot last week with some new shoes from Sudu. We shot it over the course of a day. Check it out and give me some feedback.

How can I tell if my gimbal is metal or plastic? My merlin is the signature edition, which comes with the plastic gimbal, however, the guy I bought it from told me it had a metal gimbal. I had my brother pick it up from the guy, so I wasn't there to talk to him about it. He also didn't respond...

I currently host through bluehost and wanted to update one of my websites. I installed a nice looking template and was getting everything formatted properly. My girlfriend started messing with it and said she tried to change the landing page from "About" where it defaults to over to "Home". I...

This is probably way more work than it'd actually be worth, but I was wondering if it'd be possible to swap out aperture blades in a lens. More specifically, swap out the 6 blades in an old Zeiss C/Y lens for 12 blades, like in the CP.2s. I've never taken apart a lens, so I don't know if it'd...

I've got a story idea I'm trying to develop into a screenplay. It's going to be a conspiracy/mystery/thriller. A guy uncovers something way bigger than he set out to find. I'd like to watch as many good examples as possible to see how they build and maintain suspense and mystery while gradually...

I posted one of my real estate video tours on here a little while ago. Here's a link to that video: http://www.youtube.com/user/ListedCharlotte#p/a/u/1/S4gujXapvyU Here's a new one I did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATiNIkVY-a0 I had problems with the gamma settings during export, so I...

Anybody know where I can rent a basic 3point interview setup light kit in Charlotte? I booked a last minute gig, so I can't rent online, and my usual sources didn't pan out. Id prefer LEDs or Flos, but im not picky as long as i can gel to daylight l, if needed. Anybody know a place or individual...

I'm selling my MacBook pro and moving toward an iMac. I'll be using fcp for now, and switching to cs5 when I can afford it. I'm looking at the refurbished 27" models. Should I go with the previous-gen i7 or the current one for $200 more. Only differences I know of are a slightly faster...

I've got an idea for something pretty big. It would be a University sports network streaming online. Youtube Live and Ustream and two new sources that could generate a very large audience. The reason for this is to broadcast to areas that won't receive programming locally. I know there are...

I keep thinking of this old movie i saw when I was really young. I only remember tiny pieces, and they may not even go together. It was at least 20 years ago, because I seem to remember watching it when a babysitter was over (not sure if that's really the case, but the time period is about...

Last week they announced that super high resolution sensor. Now they've announced a new enormous one. They say it's best for shooting nocturnal wildlife and stars, since it requires one one-hundredth the amount of light as any of their current sensors. Oh, it's also 40 times larger! 60fps at...

EVERYTHING SOLD I haven't used the oktava in about 2 years, except to pull it out and test it. It looks brand new. Only been used on one feature, and it was very well taken care of. Has hyper cab and -10db pad.

S4gujXapvyU This is my first attempt. I do real estate photography and I'm tired of those crappy photo slideshow tours. I think this is a much better alternative. The shoot took about 3 hours, for both video and the photos, which was okay for a 6800 square foot house. I used my Canon 7D with...
