I hosted an informal gathering of local shooters to try out a bunch of different lenses on the AF100. We planned more testing than we actually did, but you all might be interested in the results. We tested 9 lenses ranging from $450-$18k. And here's the blog about it, which also includes...

Last week I did my 7th 48 Hour Film (first time doing so on the AF100). It worked out really well. Lenses used were the Olympus 14-35 f2, Nikon 28 f2, Nikon 50 1.4, and Nikon 85 1.4. All shot to AVCHD and edited as ProRes in FCP. This version is largely ungraded, but I may upload a new...

Tomorrow at 8:42am (EST) they are airing a segment I shot this week. This was the first time I've shot for Today, and the first time they've explored the use of cameras like the AF100. I've done a bunch of different corporate/doc jobs with the producer of the segment, and he has been wanting...

I just wrote a blog post about shooting day-lit interior interviews and included some frame grabs (all from the AF-100). Feel free to take a look. It's a great camera! http://benjamineckstein.com/2011/05/lighting/

I have been using the AF-100 A LOT the past 3 months and it's been fantastic. Something weird happened today on day 4 of a 5 day shoot. Towards the end of the shoot I went to switch to VFR mode using the dial select as I had been doing frequently all week and it didn't appear. It would give...

I really haven't used the DRS settings much, because they add noise, and I don't usually need what it provides. Anyway, I was shooting some exteriors in NYC with some high contrast and turned on DRS. I think on this one particular shot that I used in the edit, I recall using DRS 2. It's...

I've had the AF-100 for about a month, and taken it on a few shoots here and there, but I feel this last week was the first major test of the camera. While I have gotten a lot of tips on setup from this forum, there is also an overwhelming sense of complaining and disappointment, which I think...

I could do this test myself, but my laptop is in the middle of a log and transfer session that I don't want to stop. But I set 2 16GB cards (that had been offloaded to a drive) to convert to ProRes overnight and they are JUST finishing this morning. This is on an i7 MBP. My question is, do...

I received the Oly 14-35 and 35-100 lenses last Friday but just today received the adapter for these lenses. The 14-35 works great. This will be my all around lens. The 35-100 though makes a terrible clicking sound when I focus it. I can't imagine this is normal, otherwise these would make...

I should have my cam early this week and could probably get my hands on a pancake lens to try, but curious if people who have tried this combo (like with the 20mm 1.7) if it's a challenge to grab the focus ring so close to the camera body. It certainly is a funny looking combo, but if it works...

This year during NAB, we are having a meetup event in the form of a charity poker event at the Hard Rock Casino on April 12th. This will be a great event and is being headlined by Philip Bloom, Shane Hurlbut, Vincent Laforet, Kevin Shahinian and Rodney Charters. We have over $10,000 in prizes...
