I have to say I am really interested on the GH4, its seems it is a really good camera and has so many features (4k looks amazing!) What exactly does the Speed Booster Clone do? And what kind of vintage glasses would you recommend and where could I buy them? And yes don't worry about the audio I already have a Rode VideoMic Pro which does a great job. What would be for you the best setup i could get? Your personal preference and point of view. Thanks again for taking the time. ;)

Thanks for your comments. I have a budget of a 1000 euros for the camera and 1500 for lenses (because I know lenses are very important that's what people keep telling me) I could put a bit more money on the camera but i prefer to keep some money for a rig and a good tripod. I'am very serious about film making so that's why i have this kind of budget. I was planning on buying a canon t4i, a canon 70D, a canon 7D or maybe a GH3 (probably not a GH4 it's a bit out of my price range), I also looked at the black magic cinema camera, but even if the dynamic range is amazing the camera has to many problems to deal with.

Hi I am just starting to enter the DSLR world I am still searching for a camera but I also have been searching for a great set of lenses for video purpose (short films etc...), and I have come across the Samyang/Rokinon cine lenses. They seem to be a really good product considering the money/quality ratio. So I am pretty sure that I am going with that set of primes, (please tell me if there is something better in the same price range). So I am going with the : Samyang 35mm t1.5 cine lens Samyang 85mm t1.5 cine lens And now to complete my kit I don't know what to choose. I was going to go with the Samyang 24mm t1.5 but then I saw the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 which looks very nice specially for video, even if it is not designed for it like the cine ones. So should I go with the Samyang 24mm T1.5 or the new Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 to complete my set? Or should I consider to buy a totally different set of lenses for video? Could you also maybe recommend me a camera (APS-C or MFT? Canon or Nikon or Panasonic? Tell me what you think about the set i am building, and please tell me if there are better lenses out there. :) There are so many things out there that I have a hard time choosing the right camera and the right lens, so forgive me if I am asking to many things... Thank you.

I love A Drop In The Ocean, Kendy is truly a talented guy! It's really sad to see people saying that a movie is bad just because it doesn't respect linearity like most movies do now a days. Come on, open your eyes, Cinema and filmmaking is much more than that ! Every one chooses to do what ever they want to do in terms of editing, obviously keeping in mind that in has to be in service of the story and has to be well made and to have a purpose , not just because it looks cool. I personally think that the non-linearity in this movie is a good choice and is justified (showing for exemple the passage of time etc...) and it's really well made. Look at some amazing movies with non-linearity like the Tree of Life by Terrence Malick or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind by Michel Gondry and there are so many more... Imagine if everyone was like Kurth... Cinema is about experimenting with what we have, its about trying and founding something new. So Kurth please look at the bigger picture here, because you are missing a lot of things.

Hi I am planning on buying Rokinon/Samyang Cine lenses for my dslr, but as I was searching for a place to buy them, I saw a difference between the names of the same lense for example this two : 1) Rokinon 85mm T1.5 AS IF UMC Cine lens 2) Rokinon 85mm T1.5 Cine lens So I searched and I saw that UMC referees to the coating and its seems to be different from the other one. And I don't know what IF stands for tough. So is different? Is the first one better than the other one? I also found a difference in the name between the Samyang ones and the Rokinon ones, which surprises me because they are supposed to be the same lenses, right? 3) Samyang 35mm T1.5 ED AS UMC 4) Rokinon 35mm T1.5 AS UMC So now I am even more confused because I don't know what ED stands for... Please help me out understanding this. Are they actually different? Or are they exactly the same lenses? Thanks :) PS: Sorry if I made a mistake in spelling, english is not my first language.
