It was shot by Macgregor and is awesome. I think I recall him saying it was shot with the 16-50 S and the 55-200mm Samsung lenses
-
So this is a bit of a bummer, but can't say I'm surprised. Samsungparts site has canceled my order for the 50-150 S saying it's no longer available. The status of the lens has been a backorder situation, but it appears now there will be no new shipment of these lenses to them coming so they canceled/refunded my order. They still have some other lenses in stock and I received my 16-50 from them no problem, but this appears to have bigger implications about supply and stock going forward. I still plan on buying a 50-150 somehow/sometime.

I have three of those off brand ones as well and that's what I've been using since buying the camera. They do hold the battery fine and charge it. They work fine, but just in general I really prefer the samsung one. The batteries actually sit in the charger and are held by it much better than the fit is in my off brand ones and since the cord is separate from the charger, there's no play or issues getting the charger to get up and running. And yes, the USB thing is awesome. I didn't even know realize that until getting it. Your mileage may vary, but I'm very happy I grabbed one.

homestar_kevin replied to Curtis Ross's topic in Cameras
The 16-50 was 2 weeks from order to my door. The 50-150 is still on it's way, Ordered it later and it's on backorder. It's been just over 2 weeks since order -
Help me pick! Samsung NX1 vs Sony Alpha a6300 vs Sony Alpha a7S II
homestar_kevin replied to Curtis Ross's topic in Cameras
I bought my nx1 last June as an open box/refurb for 1085 body only. Using the samsung parts site, I got both of the S zoom lenses for ~$1500. So I'm in for less than 3 grand for my samsung NX stuff, with a focal range of 16-150 2.8 IS. Not advocating for anyone to do anything, but the value is undeniable. Hard to pass all that up. -
Done as well! That's for getting this together
-
I just got mine this past weekend, but have only used it into a wall plug. Very nice to know, and it makes sense, that it can charge via USB like that. Very handy. For me it is exactly like a canon/nikon charger, which is awesome and worth the money since it doesn't come with the camera to begin with. Mountneer man, I also know those shopping cart blues
-
The one I'm referring to is the samsung official BP1900 charger, so for the nx1, yes. Here's a B&H link for it at $30 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1081860-REG/samsung_ed_bc4nx03_us_charger_for_ed_bp1900_battery.html But you can get it many other places if you search around for samsung bp1900 charger, or the model number which is ED-BC4NX03
-
Man this thing is nice! If you haven't already, grab one. So much nicer than the charger that came with my amazon/off brand batteries Definitely feel dumb for waiting this long to get one I got mine from a place on ebay for $26 shipped. Learn from my mistake

Hey guys, I have been absolutely loving the 16-50 S. Went to a wedding on Friday and grabbed some casual shots with it. Really loving the handling so far. The combo did have some struggles in low light at the reception, but still got some shots that I was able to give them. I recorded a bit of the ceremony and am really impressed with the combination of DIS and lens OIS. Really can't say enough about the lens. I have the 50-150 on order now and am looking forward to getting it. Here's my favorite shot
-
Watched it the other day and had to come back and watch it again this morning. God, New York is the best. Absolutely great what you guys were able to accomplish. Was this a one day shoot? Wonderful work, Ed. I loved it, it looks awesome. The edited piece came out really well. Loved the subway meltdown to escalator Also a perfect example of using a camera rig to add more weight and depth to the short. Love that we all know why people are staring, but the character doesn't.
-
look at keh.com or ebay completed listings for a better idea. Thats not the real question, the real question is how much have they been offered to you for?
-
I've used Rocky Mountain with good results since June. I haven't gotten the latest version though and haven't been using LUTS. I didn't really know about cliptoolz, but it looks great too. I'll probably grab that when I get home later
-
Nice Mattias! I used to own one of those, I liked the build and focus ring. Have the AIS 35 1.4 now and it's great, but I do like the longer focus throw on the older one. I have owned the 28 3.5 and 50 1.8/50 1.4 at various points and they're pretty great. Very small lenses. Front aperture ring is a bid odd. The colors from the lenses are awesome. Love the coating on the Zuiko lenses. They're still cheap too. I definitely want to pick up a basic kit for myself to keep. They have a lot of macro lenses available for an older line up.

Definitely in to contribute. Is there any reaching out to the magic lantern community that can be done?

Need a cheap video cameras? Nikon D7100 Refurbs, $499
homestar_kevin replied to M Carter's topic in Cameras
Used my d7100 last night! Still killing it! -
I agree with the officer reveal, I feel like it was already established in one of the prior dream sequences and Tom Hardy's speculations earlier in the film. I already felt that was known prior to him verbalizing it. I liked the dream sequences when they did some stuff like the bird coming out of the wife. Stuff I've seen before, but at least they were playing with it. I didn't mind the length really. I wish some things had been differently, and at times the plot felt a bit like Gladiator and Last of the Mohicans with much more grunting, but visually it was absolutely stunning and as a whole it managed to be completely majestic and horrific at the same time.

Got to see it last night, here are a few scattered thoughts. Spoilers indeed The bear sequence was intense and looked great/horrifying I loved the camera movement and the landscapes and lighting were pretty magical. Absolutely gorgeous throughout the movie. Did I hear that most of the movie wasn't filmed on Alexa 65? I liked how close they got to actors, but I don't know how I feel about all of the fogging on the lenses from their breath, what did you guys think about that? I need to see it a second time, but that did jump out for me. The film made me feel like a little baby, Holy shit. I could see Tom Hardy getting an oscar and Leo getting passed up again here.
-
I have some of these, I've never actually used mine but they came free with some Lowel and Mole lighting gear I was buying and I grabbed them. The great David G Smith over at DVXuser has a great and informative thread about these with a nice bulb he found for them. http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?286884-5000-watts-of-light-for-90-00!!!-Stop-buying-work-lights!&highlight= Definitely worth the price of admission.

They've been great for me since I bought them in June last year. Also, I LOVE the battery life on this camera in general. Pretty amazing.

I'm really only looking to use my nx1 with 16-50 PZ or one of my nikon or canon FD primes. Heaviest lens I'll put on there is the tokina 11-16 2.8. Also probably put the BM pocket camera on there. I figure this will get me started and I intend to keep the nx1 for awhile so this combination is what I'm looking forward to using the most. If I have a need to fly bigger cameras down the line I'll just take my losses and sell the M for something else. Looking at quick release plates to mount the ronin-m on things like a jib. It seems the cinemilled one is a popular option, any others that people have experience with?
-
I said screw it and bought the ronin-m the other day. For what I"m doing it just seems like a no brainer and in that price range there isn't much that can top it. I know there's a big current crop of singlehanded stabilizers and other devices on the market, but the ronin-m has been the only one I've used and I loved it when I did use it. I should get it today or tomorrow and am excited to get some testing done with the nx-1 and 16-50 pz and other lenses. Definitely excited to get this
-
Are people really clamoring to buy the official batteries? I have 2 offbrands that I bought for $30 with a travel charger included and they've been as good as the OEM samsung battery
-
How many of you guys are using the Ronin-m? I'm looking buy a gimbal system in the early portion of this year and the ronin-m still seems to be my best option, just wanted to check in and see what people are using and your opinions. I like DJI because they seem to have the most product out there that is working, and they seem to have the customer support to back it up. I'll be using cameras ranging from my nx1 and black magic pocket to other FF dslrs.I'm mainly excited to use this with the nx-1 and 16-50 PZ as I've seen some brilliant clips posted here using that same set up. Are there other legitimate contenders out there, or in that price range is the Ronin-M as good as it looks/better than other options? Ronin-m users, what other accessories would you recommend to get up and running? How necessary are Spare batteries? Thanks for your help guys!
