I also prefer to find a focal length and move my body to get into position rather than the camera lens, true for me both in movie and still photography. I use 16mm or 25mm the most in 16mm. The two lenses I use in 35mm still are 28mm and 50mm. I prefer 55mm for medium format. But I've been meaning t...

Wow, someone not swearing at me, can't believe it. OK, well, sheer fluke...and youtube really cripples video in my opinion. So, yeah, every format has its pros and cons...color palette being a main one of course. As for the colors in the clips, those are due to being shot in Canada more than anythi...

Thanks, Matt. Will do.

I knew I had read this some time ago, and checking http://web.archive.org/web/ it seems that site has been around unchanged since year 2000. I hope that doesn't put this paragraph into perspective: No fair playing Benefactor and just giving me the $15,000 to support my genius future I wondered abou...

is there some consensus (maybe a thread already in existence) about the best workflow and/or codec for going to youtube? i know they do... something... with it once they get a vid. so my question is, what's the best thing to start with before you-tube-ifying it? forgive me if this makes no sense. i'...

Hey Reflex, you and I should open a new website: pushme-pullyou...or something similar...perhaps click and clack...hahaha

I like my Beaulieu(s) AND my Bolex.

BTW, the lens is mint. Lens cap even looks great. Front glass is perfectly clear and un-smudgy and the purple coating is lovely. I bet the shots would intercut nicely with the similar lens on the Bauer 715 XL.

I just received a camera I sort of bought by accident on ebay a week or so ago. I found what looked like an R16 automatic w/Angenieux 2.2 12-120 (10x12 B), but the pictures and description were barely there, so there was some faith involved. Anyway, it had 12 hours left and a "reserve not met&q...

Eat your gear-grubbing little hearts out...

Don't stay gone too long... just long enough.

Hope to see you in person soon...

Funny to find this thread in the archives... I just stumbled into possession of a Sony Betacam SP UVW-1800. I can imagine mastering SD WP transfers to it, but I certainly haven't thought 10 minutes about what I might use it for, since I just found it 5 minutes ago.

Ya, send a link pls.

I LOVE my Canon Zoom 8-3. Takes beautiful pictures and the light meter is still spot on. I just wish I had the sexy little pistol grip...

Why a step up to 77mm?? Couldn't I buy filters, etc. for the original lens diameter much cheaper?

Thanks to all for an energetic and considered discussion. My only addition: It is true that the public shows preference in the marketplace by choosing one product over another. And it is also true that the public chooses from among the things that are put in front of them. I believe that there are i...

matt - you have to post a picture if you attach that beast to an a-cam.
