No s-log I presume?

No, my clients have no time or money for post production... It was all done in camera with custom profiles. 2nd and 5th does look weird a bit. Not in an original...

It looks great but one can also see the absent of s-log. In my opinion there's two F3 cameras - with and without s-log.

Sure, I would love to shoot s-log and have the picture as perfect as possible. As I mentioned, my clients do not want to pay for extra post production (with cc) so it is what it is. I try to do my best with the options I am presented. We can sing the hymns to s-log till the morning here, but for the budget given (on these shoots) there was no room for it. Most of the documentary and tv productions here where I operate don't even know what RAW is or even dream about it. Sad, but reality...
On the other hand, people I shot these projects for were extremely happy with the results (especially for the 2nd and 5th frames) even with "yellow highlights"... And the happy producers make me happy too. Repeat customers is what I like. I get paid for DP work and gear. Not for color correction or editing...
S-log? Sure, locked and loaded in my F3... Waiting to be used when opportunity allows.

Tata from pic#5 it seems Spike Lee should have hired you as the DP for his film Red Hook Summer.

OK, pass him my info!
He shoots on F3 as well...
thanks for kind words...
Tata, the shots look really good. Nice indeed. I think there's a bit nitpicking going on in this thread, sorry. The highlights are not even bad. Sure, we all want the best quality possible. But there's absolutely NOBODY in a normal audience who would have any problems with any of these frames. Nobody!
