G35 vs Blade

hmmmm the example in the reduser article looks a lot more like sensor bloom caused by the bright light behind the subject rather than CA. If you look at his hat, there is purple fringing on both sides - typical of sensor bloom. The green pixels on the sensor are the first to overload when there is an extreme highlight. Each green pixel is surronded by two red and blue pixels. The charge of the green pixel overloads into the red and blue pixels causing the purple (magenta) fringe.

Typically, CA manifests as blue or red or sometimes purple on one side of an object and yellow or cyan on the other.

I'm not saying that that lens doesn't have CA problems, but I don't believe that is an example of it.

And then why all the other lenses doesn't bloom?... same light environment, same aperture... everything is the same in 85 @ 1,4...

All my tests has shown that I have to sell that lens... period...

Check this out...

it has constant CA in all the range... and huge...

And here is the 50mm F2

A night and day difference...

Like I said, I'm not saying the lens doesn't have CA. It surely does based on those photo zone articles. I just think that this particular example picture looked more like Sensor bloom.
 
ok. I finally ended up buying my first adapter. And its actually my 3rd choice - the lex.

Reasons:
1. The blade is not available right now. Though I believe the price is really good, I can't wait till May to get one.

2. The G35 was my 1st pic, but, from my readings, I wouldnt be able to afford the equipment needed to use it i.e. Lighting equipment or the support. I tried to budget it out, but my mac, tripod, camera all ate my budget.

Though it wasn't my 1st or 2nd pick, i'm actually really happy with my purchase, i watched some of blooms and stevens stuff again, and the lex is a really good adapter. I can't wait to get it in and start learning how to use it.
 
They are all good adapters. It's really a matter of personal choice and need. I'm sure you'll be happy with the Lex.

Anyone knows when is the next shipping date for the G35? Been 6 weeks since I ordered...

I may depend on the specific mount that you wanted.

I order mine about 6 wks ago as well and wanted the proper HPX170 mount which I think is still being tweaked a bit.

Hope that helps.


I'm sure looking forward to getting it!

Hello to all, i admire all the filmmakers trying to perfect their craft. I do not post much but this is something that deserves notoriety So i thought i'd add some quick input to this thread. I received my G35 and WOW, Simply beautiful , Filmic and Epic. I am using it with an EX1 and Zacuto support. Both products rock! Great E2E, very minimal CA if any, way into the TV safe zone only on a few lenses , 24mm, 85mm a little soft, those lenses are kind of tricky with the EX1 optics anyway, even with the Elite. Easy setup, very minimal tweeking and lightweight for handheld shooting. Shot interior with two 1k lights , one for key and one for back ground. Looked great , of course next week i will test more. Shot several HD charts with multiple lenses, very impressive. I will be glad to post some footage and / or screen grabs a.s.a.p but just wanted to be straight to the point, "this is the Jaguar of Bokeh "we all have been waiting for. Check out Philip Bloom's new short, it's brilliant! Jonathan is a passionate shooter and it shows in the product. This is not a corporate, industrial adapter for those average so-so jobs, this is for "Today, i'll make Lawrence of Arabia and go to bed content, realizing what i'm on this earth for, "I'm a Filmmaker!" Great work Cinemek

Cinemek G35 EX1 SCREEN GRABS

Cinemek G35 EX1 SCREEN GRABS

Hey guys, okay just got back from a gig. Here are some screen grabs from the initial set- up test shoot G35- EX1. I apologize for shooting flowers and family but they work cheap and are non sag! ( lol) It is important to understand an image this great right out of the box has put alot of power in Indie hands. Watch out Spielberg. I'm not that familiar yet with the attachment process so bare with me, i guess there are file size restrictions, oh god dreaded jpeg compression.

Minimal lighting on interior shots, no Picture Profiles , No grading, this is raw! Will shoot more this weekend, anybody who has ordered a G35 has alot to look forward too!
Peace Out PAB

Thanks, Syfy original features and their other content are also made up of acquisitions, so what they are shot depend on the filmmakers themselves, they range from Red to F900, to Varicam to DVX200 as well! We have shot two shows using EX1 as well as F900 and Red , "The Possessed "out this Halloween 2009 on SyFy. As long as the quality is filmic and broadcast standards, it will apply.
Cheers
 
Well, they wanted to be able to brand the name, own the merchandising rights. They can not own the name Sci Fi, Also their line up is going more fantasy and family with the trend! I think SyFy sounds a bit like French Poodle, lol but they still got cool content on there at times!
Cheers

i'm pretty much go to that channel all of the time just to see their clever little videos before it comes back from commercial. They get me every time. :grin:
 
Cool, great work on your music videos with the Blade, i almost got one before i got the G35 Cinemek, but at that time there was that E2E issue with the EX1
