Hi, everybody, I've been thinking about the current state of cameras and RED's legacy cameras on the used market and I can't help but think that RED is making a big mistake by letting their previous cameras get old. It's been discussed many times across the forums but the key factor to bringing...

Hey, everybody, I know we have the awesome Contax Zeiss Survival Guide but looking at building a set of Zeiss lenses myself from bargain finds and fixer uppers I've collected, I wondered what anybody's experiences might have been with mixing Zeiss lineups together? For example, I know the Contax...

Well, it looks like Sony came to their senses and put in 4:2:2 10-bit 8K video into the Sony A1! While the Nikon Z9 has a lot going for it with internal RAW (for now depending on the outcome of RED's lawsuit), 8K 4:2:2 10-bit video with external Prores RAW isn't too bad of an option with the...

Hi, guys, I was reading on Newsshooter.com about the new Atomos CEO not working out and I was reading some of the comments about Atomos and what they could do for future products. I've been looking into analog conversion solutions mostly for retro video games by using certain professional video...

Hi, everybody, I know it's just as good to be critical of a company as support it but with news hitting that DJI's Ronin 4D has lost Prores RAW support and fingers are pointing towards RED with it's Compressed RAW patent, I have to ask, is this becoming a problem? So far in comments I'm seeing...

So the campaign for this instant depth map making light field lens closed down due to, you guessed it, money! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects.../posts/3416668 This just goes to show the classic blunder in that if you don't have your finances in order then you can't do business. It sounds...

Hey, everybody, I've been looking over my lens wishlist and doing inventory on my collection which I plan to start selling in sets and kits in the near future as a side project (not sure whether to go Etsy or eBay or both) and I know I've been eyeing some newer lenses like Sigma Art and such but...

Really off topic, I know, but I was just feeling nostalgic thinking about some of those super high end gadgets and unexpected things you could buy if you had the money that were listed in Computer Power User (CPU) magazine that used to be given out at Fry's Electronics. I've read other magazines...

Hey, everybody, I'm sure it would probably be overly expensive or impractical in some way but I was wondering if it might be possible to use spare sensors from current cameras to create a custom cluster-like camera solution for certain applications, like large format photography? I see "For...

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before but has there been any word on making Nikon Z mount versions of Komodo, V-Raptor, and future DSMC3 cameras? Secondly, has there been any updates with HDRx with Komodo or V-Raptor for HDRx or has it possibly been dropped? While Canon RF mount is useful as...

Hey, everybody, I'm getting quite annoyed that if I have Mercury GPU acceleration enabled for anything or even having GPU acceleration enabled on a plugin, my project will either crash entirely or cause some unknown bugs or distortion in my footage. I looked up how to enable a full screen video...

Hey, everyone, I've noticed that it's slowed down a whole lot at Reduser. I've heard people talk about Facebook groups and going to other forums but, strangely, they never mention where they're going to for discussion. Heck, DVXUser isn't even all that active so trying to find someplace to talk...

Hi, everybody, I occasionally listen in to some podcasts and Youtube reviews on upcoming home movie releases, particularly keeping an eye out for exciting upcoming 4K remasters, and I keep hearing about problems with digital noise reduction in certain releases and I admit I've seen some bad...

Hey, everybody, has anybody else heard of this new anamorphic lens project? It popped into my Instagram feed as an ad and looked like a pretty neat concept. Not sure about filter thread sizing or adapting for other lenses for the adapter part but looks like something to watch out for if it lives...

Whoa! Major price drop on the URSA 12K! I don’t know what to make of this but that’s some heavy competition right there! https://www.newsshooter.com/2021/08/20/blackmagic-reduces-price-of-ursa-mini-12k-to-5995-usd/

Hi, everybody, I've been looking at test footage for various cameras recently and with almost every one I've seen, they all have some sort of weird bloom and light levels. The main suspected culprits I keep seeing are cases where LOG is used and the use of diffusion filters like Promist and...

Hey, everybody, I'm not sure if it's possible but could an LPL mount be made for the RED One series of cameras? I've just glanced at it because of certain lens adapters showing up in my searches so I don't know if it's like a mirrorless-type mount but if it's just an adapter away from...

Hi, everybody, I know I have previously posted about my thoughts for RED to produce their own digital back system(s) for various medium format cameras but until they or someone else picks up the ball, I was wondering if anybody could give me some help or advice on digital backs for the Mamiya...

Hi, everybody, I've been gathering and testing some interesting lens options over the years and plan to start selling many things off to focus my tool set down to a few different styles. However, after coming across a nice copy of a Canon EF 50mm 2.5 Macro, I realized that I didn't actually have...

Hi, everybody, I have been looking at some new wide angle options and I was sure about just continuing with Rokinon Cine DS while I have a set going but I've seen some deals on the Sigma Art and Zeiss ZF.2 series that makes me wonder. I've heard some comparisons between the Sigma Art and Zeiss...
