If it's recorded in the image then that's an indicator of a sensor issue but if not then it's the video output board. Another option is if you're using a RED monitor then it could be your monitor going out. I had a 5.6 in my kit when I bought mine but then that died out and I replaced it with a...

I was trying to get a look at it in person but they were only there for a short while and I simply missed it but another of my wishlist items SORT OF came true! Old Fast Glass made a custom body version of the Fuji GFX100 II and essentially made it into a medium format cinema camera with the OFG...

I wanted to let my fellow REDUsers know about a recent development for me and my production company, Babs Do Productions. While we were nearly finished with our current feature film, "The Diner" (working title), we took some extra time out as we have been uniquely positioned to pursue a business...

Blackmagic Design announced a new line of cameras, the “Cine” line, the URSA 12K Cine FF with EF/PL mount for about $15,000 or so depending on kit options up to $16,500, and the big surprise is the new 17K 65mm URSA Cine coming out later this year for unsaid price level with Hasselblad/LPL...

I told everyone about Medium Format, now Blackmagic Design has announced a 17K resolution 65mm URSA camera! Needless to say it’s not going to be as inexpensive as the S35 12K or the also newly announced URSA 12K Cine FF camera, but it will be less than the Alexa 65 for sure. Release date later...

I think for 2/3 video, we would end up getting more solutions like the Blackmagic Ursa Broadcast series with 2/3 B4 compatibility cropping. Right now they're the most affordable 4K 2/3 B4 solution so if someone wanted to use 2/3 video and at 4K or even higher resolutions, they could clearly crop...

As for last minute guesses, I was looking at the O-CAM business plan posted in the memory post for RED that's been going on and I noticed that market conditions seem to be VERY similar to the current 2024 market with $10,000 and below cameras making up most of the market and that there's a need...

Sorry for the delay, Felipe! Been having some house remodeling work done this week so I haven't been online much. Now, as for the Nikon and RED situation, I'm siding with some of the other rumors that I've been hearing, particularly with NRAW no longer being updated, that the announcement for...

Yes! When the camera pans at 0:33 just right near the end that's me on the right in the brown with the backpack straps, that was the year when I was cradling my modified dual L flash bracket handle rig for my Canon GL1! Btw, anybody that uses compact handle grip rigs now, I was asked about my...

Man, I think my brother and I are cut off just to the right a little more in those photos! Feels like yesterday!

Great Joy are definitely on the radar for me too! The Laowa Proteus are standing at the top of my list for new lenses as well but there seems to be some interesting vintage options too coming up a little more often now that, I suppose, there's simply more competition and options these days. Some...

I'm just going off of the Fuji GFX series as they slow walk it to full sensor 8K+ and since digital backs have similar sized or bigger sensors then I'm sure they'd toss a bone for full sensor 4K at least at this point.

Hi, everybody, so I've been looking at the current landscape of anamorphic lenses and wondering about what the current perspective is on investing in vintage sets versus the newer cinema anamorphics from Atlas, Sirui, Laowa, and so many others. In the market the prices go all the way for a few...

Of course I'd like to see some 4K+ video on these digital backs as well, I mean when you're paying that much for a high megapixel digital back why not add video at this point? There's some interesting use cases for video with medium and large format back adapters. My current DIY rig works with...

That really is a tricky point, I'm actively cleaning up a large lens collection in my free time and I have several teardown videos that need to be edited with voice over and I can tell you, going in blind on a lens is the worst! Lenses can have tricks that throw you for a loop, some go from the...

Cinema versions of the 58mm 0.95 and 85mm 1.2 would be mighty interesting!

Any word on when Prores RAW or BRAW could be an option with this? Really should have been what the Blackmagic Cinema Camera should have been, 8K with L mount. Still, a little pricey and the Nikon Z9 makes more sense for my use but definitely an interesting option.

I saw someone replied to my NAB 2024 rumors thread and I had forgotten my prediction for Nikon at NAB this year, eerily close given the current context! Copied below: Nikon I think Nikon might be a surprise going forward as they have RAW video ready to go and instead of figuring out how to get...

We bought ours right at the time when 4K was just becoming the mainstream norm and our only competing options were an original Blackmagic URSA 4K and the Sony FS7 and after seeing the FS7 at NAB without a speedbooster or anything, I just couldn't see the cinematic look coming through. So, with...

Okay, final verdicts!!! Were the Vazen 1.8x anamorphic lenses any good? I've been primarily looking at the Laowa Proteus 2X lenses as I have the Laowa FF expander already and full frame Atlas Orions are still there in the mix but the full frame Vazens seem to look okay and sound like a nice...
