anyone else noticed the GX7's EVF is alot more saturated in low light than it is in bright light settings? In low light it looks nothing like the rear screen , the rear screen is good it seems accurate colour wise just the EVF is way off in low light , crushed blacks and very very saturated The G6's evf looks exactly like its rear sceen all the time - and great to use Just wondering if anyone else has this saturated crushed look on their GX7 EVF in low light? GX7 is a great camera cleaner image wise than the G6 , especially in low light at night - Im seeing alot less noise than the g6 and finer grain noise when I do get some.

you will have to pay import duties , they wont let a camera through the system, you will be lucky if you do !

thanks well thats good to know!!

hypergonar is huge , this FM module will only work with 70.6mm diameter projection lenses , this is the industry standard size for these smaller integrated anamorphic lenses. Hypergonar is a1960's first generation anamorphic projection lens , these 70.6mm lenses are all modern 2000 onwards era lenses

its an interesting read that white papaer - nice find! it also says 25p and 30p use a similar process! I wonder how many DOPs who use C cameras on big movies know this ! at least Panasonic cameras say in the menu 24p is 24p and 25p is from a 50i sensor read out Canon make no mention of this anywhere but this white paper. PS: do you know if the 5D does this too? do ALL canon cameras do this is this their way of doing 24p on their whole range?

Minolta make very good lenses they are overlooked by many as they will not fit on Canon EF mounts as the flange focal distance is too short - so they go cheap on ebay for that reason . They make some very nice lenses the 45mm F2 is great and the 25-35mm f3.5 zoom is superb and cheap too as is the 35-70mm f3.5 that pairs very nicely with it - both constant apperture lenses ! they work great on micro 4/3 and sony nex cameras with adapters They also make great medium format lenses too

well I saw Gone Girl today and its very good - a bit long the last 45 mins mess with your head, I saw it in 4k and it was very very clean looking - they did a great job in post, I know Fincher 'denoises' all his Red made films in post , its not got a 'normal dark Fincher green tinge grade like 'Dragon Tattoo' was - its a more punchy mainstream colour plate in the grade - there are some very dark shots - I do think Jeff Cronenweth is a superb cinematographer and is taking over the late great Gordon Willis's tag of ' The Prince Of Darkness' - Jeff does some very very dark moody work on this film - you are looking into shadows to see faces and detail - its a great lesson in less is more lighting wise and it has the 'Fincher camera mode look '- camera only moves when it needs to, no zooming and no stready cam . David Fincher is a master of modern digital film making.

yes or an android tab too

there are some nice micro 4/3 helicoids on ebay that are great

my thoughts exactly - if they where serious they would be talking direct to the biggest single market they have - this forum....instead its all done via proxies...seems very odd to me....

its about 10- 12 feet - so use a diopter for any closer

cool ...thanks for that !

have thay announced a date when these will be for sale yet??

Im gonna try this and loose some extra weight!!

they make superb stunningly sharp lenses when attached to a helicoid , they blow away most lenses you can buy - we are talking PL Zeiss Cinema glass quaility here . I have moded my Scheniders to use as protrait lenses , I have working 65mm, 75mm, 85mm and 90mm all f2 and insanely sharp!

the wifi is superb - I use this alot , download the app from the Panasonic website , full contol of the cameras functions too you can even pull focus if you have a panny lens on the front of the camera a mobile monitor no cables to get in the way its great !!

I would talk the the place you bought it from and consider returning it before anything bad goes wrong ......

Well it is the Adobe website so they are going to gush about it - thats their job... I am looking forward to seeing this film it has the great Jeff Cronenwerth as DOP for Fincher again, it looks like a very Hichcock esque 'who dun it ' suspense film Fincher has shot like this for his past few films and on House of Cards series for Netflix, shoot with an oversize frame at 5 or 6k on the Red Epic and use it to crop down and stabalise the image alot afterwards in post so there is alot of number crunching going on to get the actual final sized frame that ends up in the film - thats what they are shouting about the 6k work flow not just the cuts !! Alot of 4K GH4 users on this forum will be starting to use the technique as 4K gives us wiggle room in post to move the final frame up /down/left/ right and crop resize down to 1080p , I do think we will all see alot more talk of this on this forum now 4K has filtered down to all on here......... watch and learn - Fincher is one of the best pioneers of digital film making...

the most common range from these back spherical lenses for these Schneiders is 65- 105mm I have a box full of back taking lenses off these and they ar all ' medium to long lenses , they are projecting right down the middle parts of the glass, not the edges. I only have a few 50 -55mm lenses off the back of these - the FM module users will be pushing these as wide as they can like Rich says so you are using parts of the extremes of the lens it was never designed to use. An interesting thing will be to try a Magna Com on the back of one of these Schneiders with the FM as that can take you upto x0,7 wider ...you can variably stretch your taking lens to the absolute wide limit then. The Schneider Magna Coms are simply stunning serious glass Ive never used anything like them almost loss less for wides!

olympus x0.7 and x0.8 are good and cheap just check your lens diameter first use step ring to fit also if you have large front glass Century make some superb ones - there is a tread on this somewhere on the forum I went into detail on these a year or so ago .have a look they do work well Century ones have the best glass Matt

and there is nothing wrong with that Comurit, there is alot of interest in the FM , but it is a 'mystery selling company with NO TRACK RECORD ' No one is asking the question - why are they not directly answering questions on this forum when its their biggest single market and doing all the answering of questions via proxies, hey nothing wrong with any discount - just someone needs to step back and have some level of checking before anyone on this forum get ripped off , now we would not want that would we. Confirmation bias can cloud peoples judgement when they get excited about a product , I will not be buying one of these until there has been alot more testing and seeing how the quality control on this product is. Just be cautious before you bulk send them a load of money upfront - I'm just looking out for everyone - thats all!!

Formatt make a great diffusion filter - same quality as Tiffen but cheaper Formatt Super Mist 1/4 is a nice filter less harsh than Tiffen Promist 1/4 I only ever use these filters when shooting close ups for girls/actresses faces or it can end up looking like 1970's Penthouse porn if you are not carefull!! beware!! haha!

there is plenty there to have a go at - get filming !! - for me the flektogon just works its a great lens and the fujinon is very very good at night outside f1.7

you can make your own diffussion very cheaply - stretch nylons over the back of the lens - this is an old Hollywood trick that works a treat - they have been doing it for years - how tight you stretch it effects the amount of diffussion. Janusz Kaminski’s work with Steven Spielberg uses this alot , as well as Joe Wright’s Atonement, shot by Seamus McGarvey, have a read of this ! http://coltondavie.com/tests/testing-net-diffusion/

are you sure you don't work for Anamorphic shop comurit??
