Thanks guys! I'm really unfamiliar with F3, looking at it right now. How would it compare with the c300?

Hello there, I'm looking to buy a used cinema camera that does full HD (yes, not 4k) and has a nice 1.5x crop sensor or around that. I want it to be PL as I have a set of PL lomos that I plan to shoot with, paired with my Iscorama 36. I don't want to get a GH family camera or bmcc with speedbooster, and sensor size matters to me, as I want that DOF and FOV of a 1.5x crop sensor, so please don't suggest to get a 2x crop camera. I would imagine some old flagship cameras from brands like Canon is what I would be looking at. Ideally I would want 60p and built-in NDs, but my main focus would be color science, DR and highlight rolloff, as well as low light performance. So far I have done a lot of googling, and usually newer articles pop up, that talk about 4k cams. I would actually go for a 4k cam, was looking at the Ursa MP but I don't have the capacity to store and edit that much data and the price would be sort of a stretch for me, so I better get a HD cam and some decent lights. So what would you guys recommend? I have an HDMI monitor (not recorder tho) with anamorphic de-squeeze, so in cam anamorphic mode is not a must. I have looked at C300 prices, looks like a ready-to-shoot package would be around $2500 and that's a good price IMO, but maybe there's something better in this price bracket? I would reeeeeeally appreciate any advice, as I've started learning about cinema cameras during the 4k era and know little about the HD superstars. So to sum up – Full HD, PL mount option, great skin tones and overall color science, grade-able codec, great DR and smooth highlight roll-off, good low light performance, NDs and maybe 60p. Budget is stretchable. Thanks you guys!

I have posted PDF twice by mistake. Here's a video with features

Hey guys, I wanted to share this rehousing mod I made recently for my Iscorama 36. It's a replacement for a front piece of old plastic housing, that is made of anodized aluminum and has cine gears, retaining 72mm front filter threads and adding just 50 grams of weight. It took me quite some time to figure out this design and I'm pretty proud of it! It solves some real-world problems like close-focus, enabling you to focus down to 1.1m, but unlike DIY mode it has a hard stop at 1.1m and infinity, and looks way nicer then a grub screw drilled into a hole. I made a little video explaining what it is, since after I posted this on facebook people started asking what it does and what are the specs, and asking how to buy one. https://www.dropbox.com/s/wd1w620ddxnv2je/proxiscope.pdf?dl=0 I have decided to order a small batch of these, and already placed an order at one of the shops that does the first stage of the milling. I will make another video showing a closeup process of swapping the housings, so people can evaluate the effort and see if the price (which will be announced at the same time) is right for them. This is intended as a do-it-at-home kind of mod, but you can also take it to the nearest photo technician and they'd be able to do it for you, it's a simple process that takes 3-5 minutes to perform. I also made a PDF with some specs, you can find it here. https://www.dropbox.com/s/wd1w620ddxnv2je/proxiscope.pdf?dl=0 If you're interested in getting one – shoot me a message and we'll figure it out, there's a little queue forming already

I am as well interested to know more about them, as from time to time good deals pop ip, but I just don't know if they're worth it.

You have posted this under two topics. I'm assuming you're talking about the guy who is selling the overpriced anamorphics on ebay, and you've posted this in my thread by mistake. If so - please remove this message, it's not doing me any good. But if you registered just to shitpost, then I probably should not expect you do that. Anyways, thanks for the bump.

There's a set of spherical Lomos on my way, that would be adapted to PL mount. I also have Iscorama 36, and plan to use them all together, but I don't have a PL mount camera. I have currently only owned and used 5d, BMPCC and currently own a BMMCC. I'm looking for a more serious camera to shoot music videos, narratives, and mostly psychedelic/creative stuff. I think I can sell BMMCC, add 1 grand and buy an original Ursa v1 (one sold on eBay yesterday for $1.7k). People tell me it's an awful, badly designed camera. So why, why should I NOT buy the Ursa?

Hey guys, I'm just cross-posting from this thread to make all the anamorphic junkies see it. Lots of pics inside. Only secure paypal-guaranteed deals accepted via "pay for goods and services". This will go for the best offer.

This is my debut work, that took me 2.5 years to finish. I've learned so much from this community, that I just had to post it here. This is a music video for the band where I sing. Shot on BMMCC with contax glass, rangefinder and isco s8 2x. Big shout out to @Tito Ferradans @richg101 @ken and @Hans Punk. You guys are all listed down in credits for providing so much help with getting into the whole anamorphic thing. I was making those credits in hurry and totally forgot to include @Bioskop.Inc so a special thanks and an apology goes to you!

Can you go with 40mm pancake with bigger iscoramas, like 42 and 54?

Is there a difference between 16/32/1.5x and 32/1.5x?

Your first post sounded so apologetic, that I was prepared to watch some real crap, and was absolutely surprised with what I actually saw. Yes, some stuff might be tightened, and yes, sound would add a ton to the viewing experience, and yes, you should keep working on it, as it can be a pretty solid short, if polished.

You mean the ones used in glasses?) If so, I have those too =)

Is there such thing as a common negative diopter? -0.33 or something like that?

Yep, that's what it is.

Yeah, the name plate wont come on anymore. I use a big heavy duty aluminum clamp that fits around the "nose" of the isco, custom made.

Took me a year, but there it is:

Is it possible to get the focusing group apart from the anamorphic and use it with other scopes (like 1.5 babies)? I see that everyone detaches the front element, and the second stays with the anamorphic glass, so can that one be detached too?

It exports easy DCP just fine, I just can't look at what's inside, so not sure about above mentioned watermarks (are those from resolve itself? If so, I'm not using light, but a full version). Tomorrow is a test run, so there's no stress, as I can have as many of test runs as I want, each limited to 10 minutes every morning before theatre starts letting people in. My video is a mix of 1:2.66 anamorphic footage and 3:4 academy, so I'm still trying to figure out which of the 2K setting I should choose. 2K Flat has black bars on the left and right of anamorphic footage.

Hey! So my debut work is gonna be shown in a local cinema, and I have a test run tomorrow morning. I have never exported anything for the movie theaters and would need some help. I was told that the footage is supposed to be in DCP format, 2k res. When I export my project from Resolve, I can only see easyDCP format, and am not sure if that's the one I need. I am also not sure which coded I should use (footage shot is ProresHQ). There's also a bunch of setting under "advanced" dropdown in resolve, do I need to touch any of those? Thanks!

Looking to do a creative grade for a thing I've shot, want to try a three-strip look, but the whole thing is shot on the snow, and I'm not sure where to get a good reference for that. Any movies you know that have a good snow shots?

I've inserted a Sandisk Extreme Pro into my BMMCC, formatted to HFS+ internally, shot a whole day of very labor-intensive footage on it (no errors in camera whatsoever, worked perfectly), inserted into my macbook pro, and it does not appear anywhere (including disk utility). Four other macbooks don't see it either. Windows computers hang when I insert that card in them. If the card is mounted during bootup, no OS will even boot. Thoughts?

The asked price is much higher, then 300UKP. The size of the glass is quite significant, the rear element is 55mm wide. Is the 2x version the same?

Found one, great shape, I really want to buy it, but need to figure out what's a fair price for it. I couldn't find any info about it, so would appreciate any opinions. Also if anyone has any footage examples shot with this lens – I'd really appreciate it, since my googling didn't lead me anywhere.
