It appears the Sony F3’s sensor has a few tricks up it’s sleeve relative to the cheaper AF100. Sony Japan say their Super 35mm Exmor CMOS in the upcoming F3 is completely new and has pixels which are 4x the size of typical DSLR CMOS ones. Approximately 12 microns sized versus as little as 3 microns on APS-C DSLRs (according to Sony). The Canon 5D Mark II has a much…
(Thanks to Glen Ryan who brought this to our attention) Medium format looks set finally to enter the world of live view, and that means video capabilities. There is a rumour circulating which suggests Phase One have a digital back for medium format / Hasselblad cameras which records RAW video.
Buy on eBay from London based Cinematographer, big version (ex-BBC stock) A few months back I said to Steve Weiss in an email, come up with an anamorphic version of the Z-Finder so we could have a true 2.35:1 screen in our eye while shooting. Well it turns out there is already such a product and it was made by Century for the BBC. Zacuto and others are not yet…

A large sensor version of this, would please lovers of big cameras. Over at Canon Rumours it looks like a Canon fan has been reading the AF100 spec sheet to produce the first rumour, and dreamt up the second one altogether. ‘Yamato’ does have a nice feel to it – 20 stops of dynamic range with no clipped highlights, beautiful shades of snow out in the Japanese field test. Great…

They’re slightly soft wide open and focussing mechanics are hit / miss depending on the item but for character and authenticity they cannot be beat. Lomos also have the best anamorphic lens flare of all anamorphic lenses, and the expensive Hawk modern…
