The difference y'all are talking about here is APPARENT Depth of Field v. ACTUAL Depth of Field. Most people think in terms of Apparent DoF, where wider lenses and greater depth than more telephoto...

Our provider had a bandwidth issue so the livestream kept crashing. We recorded the entire event and we'll have the entire video up ASAP.

Shooting in 35mm PL format used to mean either primes lenses or large, cumbersome zooms. Changing production needs have led manufacturers to new lens designs. Now there are a variety of...

There are a great variety of lens control systems now available. Whether analog or digital; single channel, FIZ or beyond; lens data integrated or programmable; there are options for all levels of...

We have videos of the EXPOs on our website available to be viewed anytime.

This is the first time we'll be running one of our EXPOs in our recently expanded Burbank office. This Thursday from 6-9pm, I'll be hosting our AbelCine EXPO: Filters for Digital Cinema. We'll...

Sorry Ketch, I was telling about those examples as a way to help introduce people to Remote Phosphor lighting in general. Someone noted that they had not seen samples online so I pointed out a spot....

We have a lot of happy clients using the TruColor HS lights. I recently filled a client's studio with them. Anyone can see this light in action in my Hows & Whys of Lighting class (so happens to be...

A little something on lighting and power. Not all Remote Phosphor lights are 100% flicker free at all camera frame rates. This has to do with how the device is driven and how the dimming system...

This light fixture looks interesting. I can tell you that there will be several new Remote Phosphor fixtures (that's the correct technical term) shown at NAB this year. AbelCine will have a new...

These are Zeiss original designs. The 70-200 is just starting to ship and the 28-80 will ship in the second quarter of the year. They are both compact, lightweight, inexpensive, feature...

Just to note, AbeCine can modify any existing NULL Lens to work with the Scarlet or EPIC. They already work great with the RED One and a modified unit will continue to work with the R1. All new...

In addition to mechanics, the issue with shooting on stills lenses is consistency. How consistent is the quality of the various lenses from the given manufacturer, and more important, how well do...

The currently available doublers work from Angenieux and Schneider. There is also one in the works which will fit that lens plus others the previously mentioned doublers do not fit.

If you must have the left handgrip on, wouldn't you prefer it closer to the body than the right one? I know everyone has his/her own style, but I think it would be much more comfortable and...

On our blog we now have an edited video showing various IR filters on several different cameras, including the RED EPIC. You'll be amazed at the variations.

Since you're a New York local, you could always come to some of AbelCine's lighting classes and workshops. We offer several. This weekend we have a free event from 12-6, the AbelCine EXPO: ...

Heat is heat. Shooting daylight on a hot day can make certain black fabrics turn purple, as well as other issues.

I like the hydrostatic arms from Manfrotto. At first glance they appear similar to the Noga-style arms like the one Red sells, but those arms rely on friction which will fail over time. The...

The RED cameras are darker than other cameras when set to the same exposure index. This is not rocket science, it is a simple and easily repeatable observation. It is true for the RAW files as...

Yes, they're brand new filters.

The Formatt Hot Mirror filters were not included because they are an older technology, and Formatt was of the opinion that their newer ProStop IRND filters were appropriate for most shooting...
