Nevermind. I keep forgetting about this lens' macro ability. Looks like I will keep it around.

EDIT: Cancelled sale for now. Selling my Rokinon 35/1.5 Cine in Nikon mount to pay some bills.Looks like current price on Amazon is $549. If someone is in the market for one let me know. I have used it probably 6 times. Will probably end up buying it back in Canon mount in the future.Looking...

Blackmagic 4K for $2995 now posted on their twitter feed. So this is the same camera that has failed to ship in large supply? But still $3k for global shutter is enticing for those occasional shoots where needed.

Anyone here using the Canon 24mm 1.4 II? Any pros/cons? How does it perform on an MX chip? Scarlet, Epic? My brightest lens is a 35 1.4 and I am worried that may be to long on a Scarlet with the crop factor. May need to shoot in an unpredictable indoor environment this Wednesday.

Wondering if this would be possible. Since many of us all now have a similar contax collection and also some have leica-r collections. With eventually 3D printers popping up in UPS stores nationwide and eventually in our homes I was wondering if we can all get together and come up with a...

Now that we have these amazing digital tools I was wondering how often everyone is adding grain to their footage. Do you find yourself adding it all the time. Mostly only for personal projects. What type of grain is everyone's favorite? Filmconvert? Gorilla Grain? Redcine-X built in stuff? I've...

Have laptops evolved to suitable replacement for workstations for after effects, editing, transcoding etc? I haven't purchased a laptop since over 5 years ago and my current computer really is slow and not really worth upgrading (slim line case, etc.). Considering new advancements such as GPU...

Hi can anyone offer 5-10 second unique footage which I can use as the base of me creating some motion graphics text overlays. I am rusty with after effects but I have applied for a local job which I am interested in and I need to spend the next few days to build a motion graphics reel basically...

Can someone please give me a suggestion on a starter lighting set for interviews. I would like to make the interviews really pop. Suggestions for a minimal set and also the best would be helpful so that when my budget improves I can move up. I have seen 3 point lighting seems to be best but I am...

Wondering if anyone has advice on converting old Mini-DV footage into a usable footage. I have a lot of old footage I shot on a Canon XL1s back in the day which I can't just recreate. On stage footage during live performances etc. which I would like to incorporate into a reel even if upconverted...

Just heard about this on NPR a few minutes ago http://www.npr.org/2013/12/10/250000359/supercamera-more-pixels-than-you-know-what-to-do-with Sounds like it would be neat to take a still like that and use in documentaries when you are incorporating photographs so that you can zoom into and...

Ok this is a very much off topic but in my quest to simplify my life I was wondering if anyone has simply given up on email and if so what is your alternative (in a functioning business). I find that no matter how well your spam filtering I am inundated with garbage on a daily basis. And I...

http://money.cnn.com/2013/12/13/news/economy/light-bulb-ban/index.html Wondering if anyone is hoarding these for use in production or as props? Any advantage/disadvantage vs led bulbs in production?

Since I only have a Scarlet I am not able to tell. Can someone tell me what are the Epic max frame rates in all resolutions with the beta firmware? I think the RED.com pages only state the official frame rates with build firmware. Also curious if you have to jump down to 2K to get 240fps (since...

So I was thinking. And this is a theoretical question as I am still learning about still lenses. Knowing that the CP.2s are essentially the same glass as ZE/ZF series but with just the cinema housing and more aperture blades yada yada. I was wondering if there have ever been 3rd party companies...

Wondering if anyone can help me by giving me some insight into this. I love my Scarlet and I would love to one day acquire more equipment to start a small scale rental company in my market but it puts the fear into me to put my main workhorse camera out there in someone else's hands and hope...

Zeiss CP.2: 85/1.5 vs 85/2.1: Does anyone know much about both of these lenses? Not just one of them but actually both of them? Wondering how well the 2.1 performs wide open. Will it be close to the performance of the 1.5 used at 2.1? I would expect I would shoot mostly around 2.1 anyway so to...
