Black Friday Discount Purchases - What's on your shopping list?
Thomas Hill replied to majoraxis's topic in Cameras
Adorama also has instant rebates on a few of the Sirui anamorphics. I ordered the 50mm for Fuji at $500 off -
Here ya go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gtrqd-z05z-NujN5Nr6iKH0GHPmtEswI/view?usp=sharing I nudged it a hair to the left when I changed the settings but no crop.

Rigging, yes. Violating a size limit, no. FP plus the small HG-11 handgrip with the Lanparte T5C SSD holder screwed into the side of the handgrip is still tiny with a slightly fatter grip. With the this set-up, it's about the same size as the Fuji X-S10 (depending on your lens) but shorter because of the Fuji's hump on top. This is what I found the most annoying because Sigma has good stabilization in their EF 24-70mm (and others) but left it out of their L mount version. As for the AF, I've shot a bit with the S5, also. They're both fine with acquiring initial focus as @MrSMW suggests but I wouldn't leave either of them in continuous for a single-cam talking head interview of any length.

I wouldn't change anything about your process, looks great to me. And so does the one titled My N's (haven't watched any others yet).

Yeah, when I first heard about the Xperia's HDMI, I first thought that it would be great to have a phone that doubles as an external monitor. Then I saw that price tag.

Even with the usual caveats about pre-pro firmware, video AF looks good in this one that @Django posted back on page 3 https://youtu.be/NpBN7-qGgWE

Why Gerald Undone is wrong about the Sigma Fp-L
Thomas Hill replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Here's a chunk from a lengthy blog post by Kirk Tuck. If you don't follow him, he's a long-time photographer who does some video and this post is photo-focused: https://visualsciencelab.blogspot.com/2022/05/the-real-reason-to-use-one-camera-over.html -
So does the R10 with its internal 422 10bit. No Sony A6xxx even does 422/10 externally. AND the R10 is less than $1k (US).

This dude shot a feature on an iPhone with Nikon lenses in 2014. There's also an article about it on fstoppers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byvaxMFUuww&t=17s

Watched Mirror for the first time this past weekend. Such an amazing piece of cinematic poetry. And even further off topic: Homegrown Tomatoes

THIS is the kinda audio program I need: "The UI is dirt-simple: Drag-and-drop any WAV or AIFF file onto The Leveler's application window, and a few moments later you'll find a new version which just sounds better."

I've only shot 24p with mine so the crop hasn't been an issue. Besides frame rates, you can also choose a crop to get better readout speeds to improve rolling shutter but that wasn't a concern with the short that I did. All the video that I've shot has been in raw and All-I and I love the IQ. The only thing I miss from my previous Sony is the AF. On the photography side, I also love it for wandering around shooting landscapes, etc. But it wouldn't be a good choice for a portrait or wedding shooter. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzvp1E

Good to know. The 1440p was already giving me pause

I've been considering one of these. There's a "renewed" one for less than 300. ProArt
-
Had to let y'all know about this great deal that Adorama emailed me. Better jump on it before they change their mind
-
Thanks, one more regret to add to the long list, lol

It was a tough call but I had some editing I wanted to finish AND the same theatre is showing The Conversation next weekend. So I decided to wait on the trip to Nashville and I did finish the editing 😀

Like Spider-man, I will see The Batman after the crowds dwindle a bit. Today, I almost drove 2 hours to see M on the big screen but, instead, stayed closer to home for The Worst Person in the World and it is excellent.

Has anyone here used Vero? I had never heard of it until I read an article that mentioned Zack Snyder releasing a movie he shot on an iphone there. All the videos I found about Vero on YouTube are from 3-4 years ago when I'm assuming they did a big marketing push

Why Gerald Undone is wrong about the Sigma Fp-L
Thomas Hill replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
The Snap Chick, Tech360 and Three Men and an Elephant all had early first look videos where they use the fp-L and approach it more on its own merits. But Gerald and DPreview seem to get most of the attention. -
This looks great!
-
Toward the end of the review, Huff tests the firmware 1.0 AF in video and it looks pretty good, better than Panny and far better than the original fp.
-
@Emanuel That looks great!
