These days I am patching up broken eBayed Blackmagic cameras in order to have something affordable to use by way of modern tech. I can say that previous products by P+S Technik/Silicon Imaging and...

It is the same issue which goes right back to the old 35mm groundglass adaptors for 1/3" and 2/3" video cameras. A lot of rather poor to average footage was shot with them. This tended to downgrade...

Instagram let me linger for a minute then threw me out, so I shall wildly guess.

With great trepidation. Seriously though, my possibly faulty recall of scenes demonstrating anxiety open with some physical result of that anxious state if the person is not immediately revealed as a...

Here is where I show my ignorance and lack of knowledge.


Recently, when testing out some improvised internal filters on an Ursa Mini 4.6K there was some very noticeable masking flare from the...

You are entirely correct. I may have missed what the original poster was aiming for.

Has anyone tried shooting through the clear glass of one of the new LCD shutter helmets mounted in front of the camera lens? Self-powered or battery-powered exchanges for conventional helmet glasses...

Ayayayayay? Now there. Are you disparaging 16mm film, you know, real film, not that fancy electronicallated...

Now there's a go. Imagination doesn't have a chance to go stale it seems.

If a reputable optical filter company was to offer user installable/removable in-dwelling behind-the-lens filters would you want to buy?


A complete kit would comprise :-

Individual filters...

You Americans really get to play with the best toys. Here in Oz, cameras and handthrown rocks is about as good as it gets...

The kickarse mentality which stereotypes Americans so much in the international world has been embedded in the hive for very much longer than RED, which is really only having some fun with it.

I have on reflection decided to hang onto all the lenses for now. I apologise for creating unfulfilled expectations that I would sell them.

Stay safe everyone as best you can with this benighted...

I have a couple of batteries which were vended by Steven Studio, better known for ARRI clone lights. He will sell you C-Stands and light stands if you ask. I dropped one of the batteries on a...

Sadly I do not have the Komodo though I would not mind having a look at one if somebody has one here. I am one of those heathens who use the SI2K and Blackmagic "big" URSA. I have just...

I seems that I cannot attach images to messages via reduser so I shall attempt to upload them here.

Footnote. It looks like I can't do it here either. I got cut off at five images and they do not...

Over this past week, I have been resurrecting a passable BM Ursa Mini 4.6K from two damaged specimens which fortunately were damaged in different areas of the casework.

When checking the...

I am assuming that for dramatic purposes you may be seeking the now signature green and white noisy image. The resolution of a tube-based night vision intensifier is at best about 70 lp/mm which is...

Further to my comment about lenses shorting out the pins on a smart mount, I had a close look at an EF-Mount and a Nikon to Canon adaptor. The pin clearance fro the dumb tail of the adaptor is less...

Any rapid intermittency such as from lens contacts brushing across conductive pads or camera batteries being jerked back and forth until they click home has to be hostile to delicate electronics. I...

For those who have a curiosity about the inner workings of these things, I managed to source replacement LEDs, rebuilt the display PCB and was well pleased with my work.

Now here's the go. I had...

An ancient Micro Nikkor 55mm f3.5 focuses to 8 and 11/32". The aperture ring overhang on the back of the lens may foul a RED Nikon F-Mount as it also does with some modern Nikons which do not have...

I have noticed this going right back to when I was using a two-channel original MixPre into a SI2K camera-recorder and later, Blackmagic cameras. I wonder if what you get as tone is at traditional...

I am not so sure I would have confidence in hot-swapping smart lenses with a self-owned camera. Professional level cameras and lens systems may have protections built in. They may also be more likely...
