F3: Sony F3 Resurrection - The New Chapter

I understand the preference for 10 not 8 bit footage but I shot on the F3 until just recently and needed to mostly keep the camera light and not have onboard recorders. I loved the camera with its big pixels and have no doubt that for almost all my shooting slog was a far better option even recording to the internal cards. I loved the skin tones with it and the extra dynamic range and sensitivity and found it very easy to grade. I urge you to try shooting slog for yourself, even if it's 8bit. Do a side-by-side trial with non slog. Interested to see how what you think. Good luck.
 
Thanks for your advice.
Slog internal is what I went for first and I've liked how the footage grades. I get nasty artifacts when pushing too much midtone details (MD) in Resolve, though.
Also, the reds seem to saturate much more than the other channels when pushing the saturation. Am I missing something?
 
i seldom post up and rely on my google skills to find stuff but im completely stumped trying to find the macgregor LUTs that used to be on the 1st posts dropbox links, iv had a hunt on hingberg's site but he only seems to have the slog2 and slog3 variants.

im a new f3 owner and really wanting to find a nice starting point to grade the slog footage but have come up empty finding a current link to the files. mainly the slog1 to rec709 and the slog1 to cineon input lut, hoping someone may have the files available and i can host the files for the future on either my dropbox or google drive. iv copypasta'd this in the f35 big thread in the hopes they might have them too, sorry if thats frowned upon.

Thanks in advance :O
 
Hey mate, I was shooting with F3 until a short time ago and honestly I hardly ever used LUTs with it. It's an easy grade, far easier than slog2 or 3. I usually graded it in Resolve or Premiere Lumetri. If you really want the LUTS, DM me. F3 grade.jpg
 
THanks afterglow, im only just starting to learn slog at the moment and the luts will hopefully give a quick starter grade to get going. will DM you now cheers :)
