Jonesy Jones Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Not sure if you guys have seen this one yet. It's long. Skip here and there through it if you like. I've personally shot a LOT in the desert. This is what it's supposed to look like. I shot with multiple different cameras including the BMPCC and it looked very similar. Personally I think this camera is all it's cracked up to be, the physical quirks aside which will eventually get remedied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think this camera is all it's cracked up to be, the physical quirks aside which will eventually get remedied. I agree this does look really clean. I think the flat grade also gives it more of that look that a lot of people associate with the bmpcc, but that's not really where that camera thrives. What's happening here with the highlights on the hood and the sky through the tree edges? Chromatic Aberration? Blue highlight bloom on the power line too.

webrunner5 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 That looks like Chromatic Abrasions to me? It needs a Hot Mirror on the lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graphicnatured Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Just found out I'm next in line at Hot Rod Cameras! Getting pretty excited. For those who've used it, does the Viltrox .71 work well enough or is it Metabones or nothing? Sorry if this was answered in another thread. I tried looking around a little, but figured id just go ahead and ask since some have probably had more time to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used the Viltrox EF-M2 exclusively and it works great. You will loose an AF abilities the lens has, but I understand that's also the case with Metabones too. I assume you're not buying this for AF anyway, but worth mentioning just incase. graphicnatured 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocket 4K tap-to-focus feature is actually unusable so better to accept manual focus as mandatory in this camera. graphicnatured and Shirozina 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWR Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 "Maybe someone should take the insides and make a proper re-housing with a proper F battery instead of the Canon" Given the many non-Canon devices using this battery format, there ought to be 3rd party folks making various capacity compatible batts as is common in Sony style. The LPe6 has lots of room to grow in depth and capacity. Make it so. (you too Mr. Petty) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff CB Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Allen's Camera in NJ has a practically brand new one that someone dropped off in store, they have not listed it online yet. Selling it for $1050. I can't afford to right now, someone grab it before I buy it anyway BenEricson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuau Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Geoff, Thanks for the heads up at Allens Camera, I just purchased it.. Can anyone recommend a external display for the Cinema 4K I don’t need recording. BenEricson and Geoff CB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 22 minutes later... WOW Say then to @John Brawley & @CaptainHook (I'd really like to address it to Grant Petty as well, but I guess he has already been informed directly and through his brand reps too ; ) this site doesn't sell cameras... Sure not... How have so many units been sold anyway...? ; ) I presume because of tap-to-focus feature, correct? LOL : -) BenEricson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirozina Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Anyone else find the rubber port covers annoying esp when you have a cage? - they just pull off if you pull quite hard but smoothly and maybe add a smear of washing up liquid to ease them out and back in again if you want to put them back.
