Dear @DanWake thank you very much! Will suck up as much Deakins intel as possible. @MichaelCoffee and @IronFilm , well the Dedolights are about 3x more expensive but to be honest, most of the time the more expensive (higher quality) buy is the more sensible one in the long run, at least that's what I have learned in the past. So, I might scrape my last pennies together and check out the Dedos. Thanks for your advice!

This what I have done with the two LED panels. Sorry, still a noob so hope I don't offend anybody on video/edting/lighting quality.

Hey, It happens to be that we have a couple of things lined up were we need lighting, again. We have rented before but I feel we need a more constant aproach. We are taking little product videos with humans in it and do webshop photos. We will buy a set of two lights. My options are: - Two 100W dedolights - Two 800W redheads Both are used and for a reasonable price. Which would make sense as a first buy? We have worked before with redheads and LED panels. Also with a flash setup but this drove me nuts. I am trending for the dedo lights as they dont get that hot and seem to be of very high quality. Or should I get them all and use the Redheads to flod the room and the dedos to spot? Maybe some of the lighting wizards can be of help? Thank you very much

@Geoff CB, So far I have managed to configure it in the way that in stills mode I have ISO on the record button (standard forces you to use two hands, button on the left, to my knowledge). If I pop it into video mode it reverts back to that. Another problem I have is that if I am shooting and trying to adjust ISO (maybe I should be using exposure compensation?!?) the automatic preview prevends me from doing that by either not doing anything (record button) or it zooms the preview out. Maybe you have hint or best practice for that?

Dear Bror, changing to monochrome in post makes perfect sense. Dear Iron, not sure If I am a fan, I do like the camera after a few month now. Had quite a few AI-S laying around I was happy just popping them on. The stills are amazing at least from where I was coming from. But the hardware and specially the controls are a bit ridicules (e.g. iso selection). I can make do but there is much to be desired. Still quite happy that I am away from Canon now, they seem to be trolling.

1) I have not used the crop mode yet although I was considering it to get some more lenght out of my lenses if needed... There are things like High ISO NR which I have turned off so far. Apparently there is a peak DR for the d750 would you know at which ISO this would be? 2) This does not work for me but I might have tinkered to much with the custom button settings. Setting ISO is a bit of a piss take on this body imho. 3) CHEERS

Hello, I know the d750 does not get so much attention here but as this is my main source for video nerdery I was wondering if anybody can point me to some more d750 knowledge I am looking for: - General video shooter guide / best practice - Been fiddling with the picture profiles but quickly ran into a wall. e.g. If I want a custom Monochrome profile I have no idea how to create that while keeping what's there intact. Is there a way to create new picture profiles out of Camera or are there any advanced things I can do in camera?. - Only just read about a Nikon hack but the Nikon Hack website is confusing me slightly. Has there been anything done for the sevenfiddy? Thanks to anyone making Eoshd what it is. A true pleasure it is! So hot right now, here Best, Hansel

Representing the lower price end here: Nikkor 35-70 F3.5 AI or AI-S. It is pretty much parfocal but has some focusbreathing, hardly any distrotion on the lower end and none at the long end. Internal zooming but the front rotates outwards while focusing. Build quality is great and you can get it for around a 100€.
