New York City DVXUSER Crew Presents: Katrina

[Mark Harris]

Hey guys,

Just wanted to say that Katrina really grows on me each time I watch it. I liked it the first time, but the cool thing is it really holds up well with repeated viewings. It's quite exceptional and I am most impressed with how well you pulled off the noir feel.

Only criticism I have is the bedroom scene still feels drawn out, but I can tolerate it. Is it "deliberate pacing"?

Kudos once again.

thanks Elton. A new cut is coming and when it's done I will put it up in the User Films section.

Zensar lenses

Zensar lenses

I know this is an old thread - very nice stills, by the way! - but I wanted to add to it, for possible (?) clarification..unless I'm just wrong. I figure someone else doing a search might end up here and maybe this information can be of value to someone. I was trying to get more information about Zensar lenses (little to nothing online) and I stumbled upon your first page where the lens is listed as part of the gear used on your project. From what I've managed to dig up, I believe Zensar is not a Russian lens, but rather, a Japanese lens. I did a trademark search and found that in 1980, Tamron Co. Ltd of Kita-Ku, Tokyo, registered the brand name out of New York, in the United States. Putting 2 and 2 together, it would appear that Tamron - a lens maker, of course, as we all know - registered a brand called Zensar under the category of "goods and services" with a description of "interchangeable Lenses for 35mm Single Lens Reflex Cameras." I believe that there may be a Russian lens maker with a similar name but not Zensar. Please correct me if I am mistaken! Here is the link to the trademark search and information: http://www.trademarkia.com/zesnar-73281205.html . I hope this helps someone! BTW, I have a 28mm 2.8 Zensar which takes quite nice, sharp, snappy images.
