  1. The search for perfect color is never-ending, but I’ve just added one tool to my arsenal that was long overdue – a display calibrator – which should help bring me much closer to my goal. Two reasons I waited so long are that calibrators aren’t cheap here in Vietnam; and I thought calibrating my display would be far too complicated. The i1 Display Pro sells for $330 here, or around $100 more dear than in the States. As far as it being complicated, few things could be simpler to use. The device plugs into the USB port of your computer and a counterweight on the line allows it to be positioned flush somewhere in the middle of the display. The i1 Profiler software guides you through the steps, a process that takes about five minutes or so to complete. It can also be programmed to take changes in ambient light into account. Which device do you use to calibrate your display? How often do you calibrate it?

    DJI Ronin S

    Not Ronin S, but a BTS with a bunch of their other products. Fun stuff!
  3. The Olympus 45mm f/1.2 PRO is among my favorite lenses. The one drawback is that it costs nearly as much as the Pocket 4K.
  4. I usually make small tweaks here and there, like adding liitle bits of green to the necks of my subjects. ?
  5. Have you noticed it on your own footage?
  6. Well, there was a $500 price reduction on the Sumo 19 over NAB, so anything’s possible...

    I’m shooting in a mix of fluorescent & daylight, and there are also reflections from other light sources. So yeah, far from perfect conditions.
  8. It could be, but the Inferno can double as a grading monitor too - the Ninja V, not so much...
  9. AF appears to have improved significantly with the update, but still see the annoying pulsing at the beginning of the video.

    In order to test the Veydra 16mm lens, unlike the others, I couldn't get close enough to people at the post office without attracting attention. So I grabbed a student off the street who was there with his classmates to have his graduation photos taken. I only had around ten or fifteen minutes. But to answer your question, I'd like to make a short film, but have no ideas at present.

    Yep, still have it. Good idea. I was just about to update to firmware v.4.0, but it turns out it had issues?

    I'm about to begin testing the Veydras with my X-T2. Which would you like to see tested first? The 85mm, the 50mm or the 25mm?

  14. @John Brawley 'doo doo'. How quaint! ??
  15. I'll bet you snitched on them, too.
  16. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the pixel issue was fixed with the last update.

  18. Yes, as well as the low light capability. Watching Sicario for the first time - what a tension-filled movie!
