I think I might have something in my eye after watching that... Feliz Navidad. Our usual festive trip to Sierra Nevada is sadly off limits this year due to the regional border closures but on Wednesday we will be able to move across municipality borders again so like a true ex-pat I will be out buying British biscuits from the grocery store that has remained off limits for the past month! If you think the child in your film is excited you want to see what I'll be like armed with a few packets of chocolate digestives.

Might be worth looking at this service as it seems to tick the boxes for what you need. https://screenlight.tv/ The free account seems like it will suffice as you only have a single project.

As expected, they were 24mm f3.5, the 35mm f2 and 65mm f2. Good to see them releasing more lenses for L mount at least that are compact and good value for money in the style of the 40mm f2.8. The 35mm f2 is definitely going to find a home on my Fp. Presentation here :

Hang on, yeah I was being an idiot and not reading the whole thing. Recording capacity obviously does not equal recording time !

No max record time, some AF restrictions and you have to slow it down in post yourself. /// EDIT //// Fidel Castro was notorious for his long speeches but according to Sony's spec the ZV-1 can record for 13 HOURS so you'd be able to capture two of even his longest efforts. Card capacity and spontaneous combustion are likely to be a bigger issue with that though. 4K at 60mb will give you over 8 hours on a 256 gig card. https://helpguide.sony.net/dc/1910/v1/en/contents/TP0002870058.html ///// IGNORE ALL THAT Maximum recording capacity rather than continuous recording time.

Are they in dire straits because, by courting influencers, all the other companies are getting their money for nothing and their clicks for free ? * I'll get me coat.

NAB was always the worst of the ones that I used to do over there. I'd always be the one arriving on the setup day with a prototype module that we hadn't been able to ship in time from the UK or spare parts and unless I could conceal it about my person then I had to hand it over to have it delivered to the stand by "official" methods. This once resulted in two grown men having to transport a 1U rack module (consisting of one small PCB and mainly fresh air) that I had been relieved of at the entrance three hours previously. I'll never forget the sight of the pair of them carrying this 2kg object on to our stand holding one end each without batting an eyelid at the absurdity of it. Having said that, the advantage of not being able to move anything bigger than a jack plug yourself was that, unlike European shows where we all had to get involved in humping the consoles in and out of crates and positioning them, we could quite happily wash our hands of it and just let them get on with it!

Sad news indeed. The problem is that with floor space at €400 per square metre before you've so much as put a piece of carpet down let alone build it out and staff it then spending €100 a pop on DHL to round trip a loan unit to thirty YouTubers that are hungry for gear to review is a no brainer for them. As most products are lucky to have a buzz that lasts beyond two weeks of initial excitement anyway then doing it this way lets manufacturers own these short periods rather than having to share them with every other new product launch as they would at an exhibition. UK visitors to European exhibitions also make up quite a sizeable portion of the overall attendance (15% at IBC for example, second only to the 18% of the host country) and that is about to get far more complicated after 1st of January. The days of popping over to Amsterdam or Cologne on EasyJet and waltzing through immigration and being at the RAI or Messe 45 minutes later with your grubby paws on new cameras will sadly be a thing of the past as you'll need a visa to get in to the country in the first place and a work visa if its a trade show.

It is available here and begins shipping in January. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/afx-autofocus-adapter More information here including the link to the discussion thread here https://www.eoshd.com/news/exclusive-cda-tek-announces-afx-module-for-lidar-autofocus-featuring-tilta-nucleus-motor-drive-and-blackmagic-pocket-cinema-camera-compatibility/

Some new L (and E) mount lenses being announced by Sigma next week. These will be 24mm f/3.5, 35mm f/2.0 and 65mm f/2.0 apparently.

M Motors require an interface cable but you do not require any for Nucleus N motors as these are included with the AFX.

Yes, the AFX supports the Nucleus Nano wheel over BLE and this can be bridged to the MMX.

Was very curious about seeing comparisons those where an M1 MacBookPro was outperforming an Intel MacBook Pro with egpu and wondering what would happen if you put an egpu on the M1 but alas it doesn't seem to support them. So unfortunately there'll be no Steven Wright moment.

CEX is often a rewarding destination to hunt for used Leica cameras for some odd reason. Like this £950 TL2 for example ... https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail?id=sdigleitl2bobb&categoryName=cameras-compact-system&superCatName=electronics&title=leica-tl2-(body-only)-24m-black-b

All of the Voigtlanders that I use on my Leicas are Japanese so they are German in brand licensing name only and I can safely mount my Chinese made 7Artisans lenses on them without causing an international incident. Not to mention of course that the majority of my "real" Leica lenses are actually Canadian ! I'd love to have a CL but, yeah, the X-Pro 3 is far more compelling spec wise, though that, of course, is not the only criteria. I wouldn't back against Sigma coming up with a Bayer sensor APS-C L mount in the near future as well as a Foveon one though. Incidentally, for anyone looking to get into APS-C L mount in the here and now though, the Leica T is now available used at £300 and I love mine. Its just a pity that the tilting EVF2, which is completely transformational for it operationally, is another 2/3rds of the price on top of that again !

Leica have a broad range of L mount APS-C primes and zooms. And, yes, they are as expensive as you might suspect them to be. If not more actually. I have the 18-56mm as I needed something with AF for the T/SL for some development work and it performs very well but is obviously pretty slow. And even used with some serious haggling it cost me £650, which is a ridiculous price for a "kit" lens. I had been eyeing the 23mm f2 and waiting for one to come up at a reasonable price but the Sigma primes have killed that notion. Particularly as you can buy all three of the Sigmas for the price of the Leica and still have a lot of change left.

MMX info here

And there we were at Photokina thinking this camera might shake Leica into stopping taking the piss over the price of the Q. I'm not sure what the "right" price is for this camera now in the present market, particularly considering its "quirks" but I do know that pricing it higher than the Q2 and on the same level as the Hasselblad 907x HC50 is not going to get it anywhere near the top of my "expensive objects of desire" list. In fact, I might print this blog piece out as justification for the defence when I eventually do break down and succumb to buying one of the other two !

For Pocket4K/6K where we control the focus of the electronic lens then yes this would be a possibility. No, it is only the cable for the N motor that is included. Every M motor that you use whether it is directly connected to the AFX or connected to the MMX requires an adapter cable. We use the N port size as the "standard" to keep the footprint and cost down as the M port requires the much bigger and obviously far more expensive 7 pin connector. The N motor is also far more common than the M motor amongst our users. Therefore, every M motor used requires a cable to adapt to that "standard". So, for anyone just using an AFX and a single M motor, they need to buy either cable type 1 or cable type 2 depending on whether they want the USB outlet to power the AFX or if they are OK to just run it on its own internal battery. For anyone using an MMX, the first M motor that they use must use cable type 3 as this is the one that will power the MMX itself and with its USB outlet it can also of course power the AFX. For subsequent M motors that they attach to the other ports of the MMX they will need either cable type 1 or cable type 2.

N is the smaller (and cheaper) motor and can be powered by 5v but it has less torque, although that can be boosted using a larger power source. The three different cables for the M motor are 1) Data only for connection to the AFX. 2) Data connection to the AFX with USB outlet supplied from the M to power the AFX. 3) Data AND power connection to the MMX with USB outlet to power the AFX. So for the AFX, the choice is with or without USB dependent on what the user wants. Cable 3 is ONLY required for the FIRST port connected to the MMX (as it will be powering it) and any additonal M motors that are connected to the other ports can use either of the two other ones. No additonal cables are required for the Nucleus N motors as you are provided this with the AFX and an additional one if you buy the MMX. Yes, N is Nucleus Nano.

If you want to use an autofocus lens with a motor then you would put it in manual and put a gear on it.

A lot of them are covered under KMZ but I'll add the others. Thanks. Thanks Basic rule of thumb is that if you can get a lens gear on it then it is compatible. Thats a big "if" though for a number of lenses.

Yes that is the principle but to enable more precision, you can actually calibrate up to 100 positions and it will then interpolate between those if necessary.
