Hi, everybody, I've been noticing when people have been sharing Vimeo links, there's strange ads or redirects and often the site just fails to load. Is there something wrong with Vimeo or is it a Reduser issue or is there a potential virus/malware problem to look into?

Hi, everybody, so I started a similar thread on DVXUser but it's getting to be that time again for NAB, so what is everybody looking forward to, wishing and hoping for, and does anybody have any interesting rumors to share?

Hi, everybody, I was surfing the auction sites to see if there were any good deals out there and I came across a set of SLR lenses that looked like a really nice investment for the right cinematographer. However, the listing had a link to a video example and I watched it and got very much pulled...

Hi, everybody, I was just reading about another Prores RAW converter solution, Assimilate Play Pro Studio: https://www.newsshooter.com/2023/02/08/assimilate-play-pro-studio/ My question is, if it's as simple as just converting to CinemaDNG, what are the odds that Davinci Resolve could just do...

Hi, everybody, so I was cycling through Youtube and came across a video with the subject of "Why I Sold My RED Camera" and, after watching it, I saw there was a whole trove of videos just like it and decided to marathon through them to see what the various situations might have been and what...

Hey, everybody, I've been looking at some fast lenses after checking out the Zeiss Contax 85mm 1.2 that I completely forgot about and I thought to look at some newer options like the Canon 1.2 lenses and the Laowa Argus FF line stands out along with the Mitakon 85mm 1.2. While I like the Mitakon...

Hey, everybody, so I recently took a look back at some of the Canon 5D Magic Lantern RAW video developments and saw some more recent examples that I didn't see before with newer 3K/3.5K/4K recording and I couldn't help but be absolutely impressed. Even looking at my RED One MX/Blackmagic Pocket...

Okay, since we’ve had some threads about REDusers really wanting RED to put some long standing fixes on its legacy cameras and not hearing anything back or hints about any updates, I figure it may be time to look at and hypothesize about third party and home grown options as a possibility for...

Alright, no spoilers but I went to see "Avatar 2" last night and I was amazed at the sheer lack of cinematic presence and choreography compared to the original film. For a movie that took over a decade to come out and with three years of filming, I was surprised that it came out the way it did...

Okay, I happened upon a Nikon 35mm 1.4 AIS for a steal and now I nearly have a full high speed Nikon set of lenses and I've been eyeing the Nikon 85mm 1.4 AIS or D to finish it off save for the 105mm 1.8 which I just have too many fun 100-105mm Macro options plus the famous Nikon 105mm 2.5 to...

Hi, everybody, I was looking into adapters for PL mount and I'm just not seeing Nikon F mount and I could have sworn that there was something for adapting this, am I wrong? I know there's whole Nikon F mount attachments for cameras like RED, Blackmagic, etc. but for lenses I thought there were...

Hi, everybody, so I picked up the new “Elf” 4K UHD Blu-ray after seeing some reviews on YouTube and seeing the new HDR color grade. The thing is, I thought that there was something wrong with their upload settings or some YouTube compression issue because the new UHD color grade they were...

Hey, everybody, just a quick thought as I was watching some anamorphic lens tests, has anybody tried using the Laowa 1.33x rear anamorphic attachment with something like the Ironglass Adapters lenses? I have a set of slightly dirty old school ones from before they had the full rehousing but...

Hi, everybody, I had a thought today as I looked over some of my lens finds in the past year and I really dig the tiny Pentax K 50mm 1.4 and the Pentax FA 50mm 2.8 Macro I got for a steal and I wondered, other than a short film on one of the first Pentax K cameras with 720P HD video, I haven't...

Hey, everybody, I've been researching different anamorphic options for a project and while I really love my SLR Magic 2X and Rangefinder combo setup, I can't really use that on my Rokinon Cine DS lenses or other lens options I'm looking at which are simply too large for a 62mm thread adapter...

Hi, everybody, I've been looking at new lens solutions and we're at the time when Canon EF and Nikon F are starting to become harder to find as native mirrorless mounts are taking over. Since there's surely different sensor design considerations for each mount and because Canon is locking down...

Have to say, after seeing the demo video on these, that is a compelling look for Micro Four Thirds! Newsshooter had a look at the new Mitakon 50mm 1.0 Cine lens and it has me rethinking the whole M43 format. Not only are the prices pretty great for a set of 1.0 Cine lenses, the look is much...

Hey, everybody, just wanted to put up a post to see what the thought process is behind some of the lens sales going on these days. People have been offloading everything from Leica R's to high end Leica Summicron Cine lenses to Contax Zeiss kits, Canon FD, Rokinon Cine, Meike, and various...

Hey, everybody, just curious if anybody has experimented with the current 8K television sets available for 8K HDR mastering purposes? I know the LG 4K OLED models are pretty good but since 8K is starting to drop down more, I was thinking the investment would be better going for an 8K model but I...

Hey, everybody, so now that Canon has started cutting off third party lens makers from RF mount development, I've been wondering, if this situation doesn't change, how might this affect the choice for Canon RF mount on video cameras going forward? So far, RED is the only one outside of Canon...
