Nikkor

Poor blackmagic.

Or this one http://www.ebay.de/itm/16mm-Objektiv-KOWA-Prominar-Anamorphic-5-150mm-/161380657761?pt=DE_Dia_Filmprojektion_Projektionsobjektive&hash=item2593096a61

I have seen this lens in perfect condition go for less then 200€ on ebay-germany twice this summer.

Don't worry shield, next year Canon will come out with a 3500$ 5DMKIV that will match the d750.

You focus with an allen key. I think this is the one you are looking for (to use with the FM module). 100 is also a good price.

But they only cover aps-c.

What I find amazing from the d750 footage is that it holds a lot of detail in the highlights, this wasn't the case in the d800 and a lot of older h264 cameras. If you want the ML raw sharpness you can try to load the shots into Photoshop and apply the Camera Raw Filter, pretty amazing how it sharpens things, although it's terribly slow.

What Inazuma said + lighting. I think almost every shot was backlit with burned highlights and underexposed faces. I think you should take your grilfriend,friend, or whatever family you have nearby and excersise some shoots. I think the best way would be building a repertoir of some standart easy shots you can perform in every wedding and that look great, that's how I've seen many wedding photographers work. For example, since you got the GH4, try to get some longish lens (some cheap manual focus 50mm 1.4 with an adapter shouldn't cost more than 60pounds), and then shoot closeups of faces with the 96fps mode, get really close (fill the frame and cut parts of the head if you need to) and try to get as much nice expressions as you can. Afterwards you will take these shots and play them back at 25fps, this will give some very nice slomotion. You could do the whole video with takes like that, after all it's the most important part. Maybe you could try to use a flat profile, and in post overexpose with a gentle gamma like curve, this should give something very smooth and flattering.

I was using it on a digital dlp projector and the lens was too wide so I got vignetting, but there was no variable distortion at all. The sankor 16C which is pretty soft, in front of the projector behaves super sharply and adds no color aberrations. When used on the camera it has a lot of color problems.

On the first page a made a comparison. You gain vertical resolution and space compared to the 4K modes.

The Ultra Star is 2X. Don't ask me how this works cause I don't have a clue but when placing this thing in front of a projector the stretch works perfectly fine, it's only when taking images with it the strech is uneven. When you focus close the stretch becomes something like 1.75 or even less.

Or a nikkor 28-70 2.8 with broken AF, if you don't need AF and VR this might be the cheapest option (beside the nikkor 35-70 2.8). But there was a rumor floating around that sigma might release a 24-70 f2 or something crazy like that.

That's the reason you have a smartphone while shooting. There are thousands of ways this could be done and a good software would let you progran it in an easy way (control points, instant feedback,etc...)

No lasers, just fast sensors, fast processors, good software and good motors inside the lens and you're done.

George lukas had focus pullers measuring distances and taking notes :p

That, or use a loupe or get a screen/recorder with focus peaking.

Great news. Here some size comparisons with 2x stretch preview. Personally I think the 1:1 would be my favourite, anamorphic look with realestate.

The problem is the Treasure of Sierra Madre that's always going on in the anamorphics forum...

That lens will be perfectly fine. If the cineluxs could take 50mm in FF it could be a problem, but that's not the case.

Who knows what the 5D mkiv will be like. I wonder if they will do the same thing as with the 7D or if they will join the megapixel race again (there are rumors about and 50mp sensor). Anyway, the macro 105 2.8 has vr and that focal lenth is instant cinema. Never tried nikon vr in video thou.

The tamron 24-70 is a cheap option if you really need it.

I thought the leicas had smooth bokeh, it really reminded me of the 55 1.2 in some shots. Did you use an ND filter, I wonder if that yerky motionblur is because of the codec or if it comes from the shutterspeed. (my nikon d800 even does it with 180º shutter). Thanks for the review, would be nice to download some flat samples.

nikkor 55 1.2?

I feel you, the current used prices for the d800 are ridiculous for what it offers (for stills).

Ok I thought this was going to be some troll-flame war. Try that 70D in person and if it really suits you then hell... but personally I wouldn't dump a 5dmkiii for a 70D even if I only had the 24-70 2.8 or some prime for the mkiii.
