I have that lens but I dont like to use it because its gigantic. Maybe on a rig, but handheld. But it looks very good as you said. The only problem with it is that the focus will break sooner or later, but if you only want it for video this makes a nice way to get it cheap. If you want a 35mm equivalent you could get the 24 f2 ais, or get the sigma 18-35 f1.8 (but this one is without aperture ring)
-
With nikon G lenses you can't change the aperture while in live view, that's correct. But Nikon G lenses are expensive, nikon ai-s lenses are cheap and nice, perfect for video. 24 2.8,28 2,35 2,50 1.4,85 2,105 2.5,135 2.8. Get them all.

Nice photo, where's that? (left border is very soft)
-
Maybe if you file down your adapter a little bit you get back infinity.
-
But the nex5n does horrible video.
-
Who knows what kind of picture style or processing they were using. And they are probably using different WB (the nikon has magenta tint)

A look at D810 video sharpness (with clips for download)
Nikkor replied to Luke Mason's topic in Cameras
If this comes from the d800, it has no moire. -
Oh yep. I know it might be a stupid question but since you're coming from a mac, do you have updated the graphic drivers? amd.com I also remermber something about resolve 9 not working with ATI cards, but I'm not shure if that's still the case.
-
Ehm, in your first post you said you have a AMD R9 270 2Gb RAM...
-
Ehm, just underexpose 6 stops and you are at the limit.
-
The zeiss 50 1.4 zf 2 is all about sharpness, I don't think it makes too much sense to put such a lens on a speedbooster. For that money you can build quite a nice MF nikkor AI-S setup (24 2,28 2,35 2,50 1.4 ,85 1.8) and also get the zeiss andy is talking about (I have it and I think the bokeh is too plasticy, but that's a matter of taste). You only have to be patient on ebay.

The funny thing is that they actually were the ones that kind of started the digital age. My first digital camera was a Kodak and it was horrible.
-
The A7R video looks a lot worse than the d810 one. But hey, I don't own the d810 so I can't really tell.
-
The d810 has 7360 horizontal pixels, (the d800 had to crop a little bit), it skips 2 lines out of 3, so it reads an area of 7360x1380, horizontally the pixels get added (3 together,it's not perfectly clear how it's done) so it ends with 2453x1380 which is then downsampled to 1920x1080. The d800 did the same but with less pixels (2150x1200, or something like that).
-
Matt I know the d800 very well and there are some shots where you can see that there is a big difference, the aliasing and the compression method was giving the d800 a lot of false detail and mushy-soft appearance, but in that video you can see a lot of pixel details that were impossible with the d800.. The camera is actually recording 2.5K and downscaling it to 1920. (the d800 was coming from 2200 but the downres was prettybad, that's why it was soft). I won't buy the camera, but for someone who needs 36MP stills and occasional video right now, this it is. It's what t he d800 should have been from the beginning. The autofocus seems to be top notch, for stills. Anyway,I can see Canon coming up with something much better next year with the 5DmkIV. Oh and remember, this camera does lineskipping (unless the reviews I've read were lying), this means the lowlight performance in Video will be bad, 2 stops worse than with the 5DMKIII.
-
That video looks very good. Actually it's strange because the reviews show it has almost the same aliasing as the d800, this means lineskipping. But the video doesn't show any of the d800 flaws, the colors workout fine and the highlights don't suck as on the d800. Expeed4 is doing wonders with the sensor.
-
There is more to shots than the camera and the lenses. If yourself would shoot beside that guy with the 5dmkiii and some old MF lenses you would get almost the same results(minus the focus pulling,etc...).
-
Oh, I thought the video was about real cine lenses, why spend 5000$ on a canon lens if you can get some used new Zeiss or Cooke for the same price.
-
Ehm, raw stills in adobe camera raw, I don't think the mushy plastic pastel comes from adobe.
-
And you wont find condom or ugly bokeh with cine lenses.
-
I dont know about the e series but with the older nikkor-s 50 1.4 (the first one) i get the lenses so close I fear to scratch them. The lens itself isnt a stellar performer but it has a very nice caracter. Black and White nightscenes look specially great.
-
Bullshit, the d810 still skips lines so the DR in videomode is far way from those 14.8 stops you get with stills.
-
I have been working with some Canons and ML raw this month and I think the "colorscience" sucks bigtime. The stills are the same. It might be pleasant to some people but they are horrible in my opinion. I wasn't happy with some colors in the raw files on the d800, but they are so much better than the canon stuff (h264 video obviously not). All the skins look too dark, too tanned, sometimes red... and there is no way to fix that if not by keying, but to me that's an extra step I don't want to do. Oh and the skins look too even, seems like it doesn't capture variations. That might be nice for pastel weddings, but that's it.

Imagine a perfect straight vertical line with a white background. Let's say that at a given rotation of the camera the line will have a certain amount of horizontal displacement, Dx (the horizontal distance between the top and the bottom). Since this deformation comes from the sensor and the line is one dimensional, the image and therfore the displacement Dx will be exactly the same with or without the anamorphic lens. Once you unstretch the anamorphic (2x stretch) one you will get 2*Dx. The effects of rollinshutter in this case would be 2 times worse.

Product photography, fashion,etc... are all going live view, or atleast tether and check. Sports will benefit a lot from the fast speed. Once the view finders stop looking awful there won't be a reason to keep the mirror.
