Working on a show (as camera op) and this is the typical build. Instead of an Epic or Alexa, now it's the F55. Three cameras play daily. This was the first time I've used the Canon 30-300 and I must say I do like the lens. It would be interesting to do a side by side comparison on set with an Optimo, as that's usually my preferred zoom. We also use a pair of Cabrio 19-90 and an Alura 15.5-45. Very functional focal length, though not my favorite glass. Of the three I prefer the feel (look) of the Canon- but that's without looking at the footage in post. As you see we're not shooting raw, just 2K, 4K XAVC. I'm impressed by the DR shooting XAVC, much better than I expected. Also battery life. The camera could use more power outlets and a solid AB Gold mount solution instead of adapter plates. Don't know if AB has one, never looked it up- these bodies are setup with adapter plates. A Switronix Jetpack with camera V-mount and AB battery mount may be what's missing here. The OLED EVF is somewhat dark- is everyone else's EVF like that?
