My bets are on the S16mm. If Barry is shooting 7212 or 7201, and has someone sit with it on a Da Vinci - it'll whomp on anything competing against it. I've seen +2 pulled out of 7212 and still look great. Not a fan of the 500t stuff. Way too grainy, probably not even competitive with a 1080p camera. I'm betting a one light print of any stock also wont compete against an af100
 
I had a CP GSMO, too, until last year. Sold it to a guy in Japan. It was still in pristine condition after all these years. Very cool.

Very true.

I wonder if we are going to see a straight up latitude and skin tone comparison. That would be very interesting.

IF the AF100 comes even within a stop close to what the film can deliver I think we will all be very happy campers.
 
There are some intrinsic problems with forums in general; I think we can all agree that the written word can produce a distorted meaning. Throw in the pack of fan-boys, trolls, and general malcontents, and we are often left wondering if sharing is worth it. I think it is. I think we can quickly find out who the posers are and weigh their contributions accordingly.

I don't like ad homonym attacks; they are uncalled for, unprofessional, and detract from doing what the forums are supposed to do. We did not see the noise on the set, we did not see it in the edit, but that does not mean there is no possibility of noise being generated by any number of factors further down the chain. It is interesting that some professionals using good equipment see it and others do not. Since it's not in the camera original or the edit, I would suspect compression. I don't think everyone who says they see objectionable noise has some negative agenda.

Footage from the AF100 is going to multiply like books after the invention of moveable type, so we'll very soon have all we need to evaluate.

Good shooting and best regards,

Leo

Leo- thanks for the very reasoned response, especially after some of what has been said.

"Footage from the AF100 is going to multiply like books after the invention of moveable type..."
