Are you are talking about the latest paid version of RawMagic (1.1.2)? If so, make sure NOT to check the "16 bit CinemaDNG Output" box. I hear that people have been experience the issue that you are describing when they do.
-
For 2x anamorphics, I still say that it's the 5Diii with ML raw. The 4:3 acquisition means that you can get by without a monitor if you need to (which you can anyway with 1.5x anamorphics).
-
I'm using a build from February, and it has a module called 'MLV_PLAY' that allows me to review shots, though not quite in real time. Not sure if this has progressed since then. I haven't upgraded though because everything has been working perfectly.

Eleven days with GH4 4K Super 8 anamorphic
QuickHitRecord replied to Sebastien Farges's topic in Cameras
Very nice. Your daughter is growing up and maybe getting a little shy about being on camera! -

It does look good, from everything I have seen. I think that the C100 is a winner here as well. And maybe you're onto something with the intra-frame argument, because I think that the stuff I've seen from the Magic Lantern raw cams looks pretty good as well. I don't have the tests on my computer anymore, but I was clearly able to see the difference between the way that these cameras recorded motion when I owned both bodies. I did have them set up together at points, recording the same subject with the same contrast. The only thing I may not have been able to match exactly was that the FS100 could record at true 1/48 shutter, while the GH2 was set to 1/50. But the GH2 was the one that looked way better to my eye. The clips that I have posted above reflect what I was seeing with these cameras. I see a difference!
-
If you watch the examples above, are you able to see the difference? It's easiest to see when there are people in motion on screen, at least for me. I'm not entirely convinced that anyone and everyone is capable of seeing it, just like some people can see more colors than others, and some projectors give certain people headaches. And it's equally tricky to define, but I'll try. It's how a camera captures motion, which I believe pertains to the amount and characteristics of frame-by-frame motion blur (i.e. shape of blur, opacity of blur, etc.). But I suspect that it might be something on top of that as well.
-
I'll go first. I bought and then sold my FS100 because I thought that the cadence looked all wrong to me. Here's an example (not shot by me), which in all other respects looks good to me: On the other hand, I think that the hacked GH2 has great motion cadence:
-
Like color science, cadence/motion can differ greatly from camera to camera. It's harder to spot and consequently it's not frequently discussed. But some cameras have 24P that looks an awful lot like 30P. So, strictly focusing on c​adence, which cameras look good to you, and which don't? Please post examples.

New OK Go music video shot on Panasonic GH4
QuickHitRecord replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
I think that the music stands on its own. They just take more risks with their videos than most bands. -
Successful fungus removal from an Anamorpjic lens?
QuickHitRecord replied to Anthony Vallejo-Sanderson's topic in Cameras
This guy does it: http://www.focalpointlens.com/ But it's quite expensive, time-consuming, and there is a small risk that the glass could fracture in the process. -
I've been curious about this one for a while. It's dual-focus, right?
-
Your steadicam frightened the Chihuahua! Very nice footage. Some of the shots (particularly at the beginning) are tastefully soft. Did you accomplish that in-camera or while grading?
-
The latest version (1.1.2) corrects vertical banding. I haven't done the update yet myself (as of a month ago, it was still a little buggy), but that's what it's supposed to do.

Newbie saying hello and looking for 'Entry Level' Lens
QuickHitRecord replied to Leighton's topic in Cameras
There's an Olympus Zuiko 100mm f2.8 that I have been using as a taking lens for anamorphics on my 5Diii. It's the smallest (i.e. shortest) lens in that range that I could find and I like that it lets me keep my anamorphic rig small -- it is even smaller than most 85mm lenses that I have seen. It has a non-rotating front and a small filter size, so it's a good match for anamorphics. Doesn't cost too much either. Here's a little more info on it: http://omexperience.wordpress.com/lenses/zuiko-100mm-f2-8/ -
Yes. I screwed the original front housing off, and then screwed the new one on. I moved the diopter and the retaining ring from the old housing to the new one. I'm no machinist, but if you think about it, it's really nothing more than a tube with some angled ridges machined into it, like this:

Anyone using RawMagic 1.11 (paid) yet? EDIT: I've downloaded it and run a quick test. The app is quite fast compared to the other conversion tools that I have used, and it now incorporates vertical stripe correction (important for 5D footage), automatic audio sync in Resolve (HUGE time saver), and the Cinema DNG files that it creates are 12-bit and therefore quite a bit smaller. In my view, this really is the final missing piece to ML raw shooting.
-
Front element diameter: 51mm* Rear element diameter: 41.5mm Length: 4.35" Weight: 18oz *Some of this gets covered up by the retaining ring.
-
Coincidentally, my roommate just borrowed that film from the library. I was going to pass but now I'll make a point of watching it.
-
I'll measure when I get home, but I think that the front element is 55mm. Know what's funny? After years of trying to avoid it, I'm finding that I rather like chromatic aberration in my images.
-
When I first stumbled upon this, I thought about doing a small run of the housings and then selling them for a small profit, but keeping the total price below that of a Kowa B&H or 16H/8Z (less than half of what the guy above is asking). I never got around to making that initial investment though. Money is a bit tight, and the much more polished-looking SLR Magic anamorphics were hitting the market so I wasn't sure if there would be a demand. The cool thing about these lenses is that they are readily available and inexpensive, so there is no reason that anyone with enough enthusiasm shouldn't have access to one. The 2x lenses are my favorites anyway. Here's another sample, and probably the only cat video that I'll ever do: I was trying to develop something based on the fact that these two cats hate each other and fight constantly. But the gray one bit me mid-shoot, and I was done looking at her so I packed up my camera and left. Still, there's a shot or two in there in which the B&H really shines.

He's put a piece of tape over the tube, which has the name engraved on it. Very sneaky.
