Other: Mitch, should we be excited about IBC 2016? :)

Although I am not a Sony expert I suspect the F5 is due for replacement tomorrow. Drop in the light sensitivity of the A7S along with a few other features and it will be a hit.
 
That's staying positive!

But I doubt it, especially after k0bayashi's insider knowledge comment earlier...

But he also said people would like the C700 (zing), so I guess miracles can happen...

No one expects gossip queens need to be 100% accurate.
 
FD Times list is updated now and no new Sony cameras listed so no new A7 Mark III for now...

But boy, so many new lenses announced for this IBC !
 
Pretty sure with 6 months in will be £20,000 inc VAT and the accessories will have come down as well. Truth be told though, it's a rental camera not necessarily and owner camera.
 
But now the high end rental is dominated by Arri Alexa.. and isnt that high end getting narrower and narrower .. I think the rental houses are hurting.. look at the deals they do now.. and lease agreements.. alot more people are buying their own camera,s for "higher end" work.. F55,s Amira,s Red,s Alexa Mini.. at the top end.. Alexa has such a huge hold over the very top end.. are rental houses going to buy 10 C700,s and hope for the best.. as I think Ben said on some thread.. the C300II should have been the C700.. or some form of it.. they should have done an F5..F55 versions.. well my humble opinion anyway :)
 
C500s get used for all sorts.

I wandered through the set of a Transformers movie a while back in Chicago and there were C500s on every jib and crane.

This gear gets used for loads of stuff that's not headline grabbing. I guess we'll see. Frankly I see it more as an Amira alternative for broadcast stuff than an out and out cinema camera so if rental houses are offering packages to production companies that make it worth their while to swap I can see it gaining a bit of traction.

Of course all this depends on whether it looks great or not.
 
So far the lenses that excite me most from IBC this year are:

1) The Sigma cinema primes. - I've always loved the sigma art primes and the quality they deliver but find the limited focus ring travel to be limiting. at about 180deg these solve that for me. Of course it depends on how they price them.

2) The Angie zoom 30-90 T2. - This is the perfect 'human' range for me. Its all of my favourite focal lengths in a single lens at the fastest usual stop I shoot. The pricing on this will be the deciding factor for this lens. I expect it to be expensive but it sounds like they are aiming for it to be relatively affordable. Might just be a rental but I really like what they are doing here.
 
JackCarter, maybe you can make a lens price thread in the industry news section containing all of the new cinema lens pricing/updates :)

Particularly with MovCam's unveiling of a servo grip for the Angies.

Have you see French cars?

Would love a old Citroën with Hydropneumatic suspension. They were quite popular as camera cars.

"In France in 1954, Citroën introduced the first self-levelling rear suspension on a production car, and then in 1955 pioneered self-levelling of all four wheels, using its hydropneumatic system. These cars maintain an exact height over the road when the engine is on - height control valves attached to the roll bars via linkages would open to add or drain fluid from the suspension, and when the desired height was reached the valve would automatically close due to its design. Later models would use electronic height sensors and motors so adjustment could be achieved with the engine off".

We had several of these when I was a kid. Amazing for the ride. When you started the engine you had to wait for the car to rise, bit like a hovercraft. But if you went over a bump on the road you hardly felt a thing.
