Looking to buy an Iscorama 36 Anamorphic.  Non Multicoated and in great condition. Will pay at least average selling price or more.  Would consider an Isco 54 if it's also Non-MC and great condition.  Email me at freakse(at)gmail.com I have verified Paypal or could meet local Philly/NYC pickup.  eBay's been looking bleak lately... Thanks! Erik

http://vimeo.com/59438541   From Dan Chung: "There is growing evidence that several owners’ production models of the Blackmagic Cinema Camera are experiencing serious issues with infinity focus on certain lenses. Initially, users identified the popular EOS fitTokina 11-16mm f2.8 as a problem lens, with an inability to focus anywhere near infinity when used with the BMCC. Now other users are reporting that other lenses are affected too."   http://www.dslrnewsshooter.com/2013/02/13/the-blackmagic-cinema-camera-saga-continues-this-time-its-infinity-focus-issues/   (Edited the post - topics not allowed to consist of one URL and nothing else, and Dan was the original source for this info.)

Aside from the obvious, of using a umbrella when shooting in the rain, and aside from flower cap hoods, are there any suggested products or things to use over the lens and filter that extends out that will reduce the chance or rain or snow from landing onto the lens filter?

Nothing I have seen in video mode on any camera can match what the Olympus OM-D E-M5 can do, now even with legacy glass and adapters. It is certainly worth a look for handheld shoots even though the codec sucks and is 30p.   I'm not a huge fan of the OIS on Panasonic lenses for video. Sometimes it jumps and the Lumix lenses are a little bit too clinical looking for my tastes. You are far better off stabilising the camera with a shoulder mounted rig.
