[Jarred Land]

Markus took out the Weapon 8k and the new Hawk 65 Anamorphics for a spin and put together a nice little test:

[Robert L. Mickles]

Very nice!

 

[Phil Holland]

Wow. Those images do look stunning. XPL52 mount is very interesting.

The potential of coverage and very widescreen production is exciting here.

 

[Ketch Rossi]

So great to see the 8k Weapon get some serious attention!!

Look forward to see more!

 

[David Grigorian]

Looks like the 2018 summer/christmas releases just got a lot sexier!!! Cant wait to see these on the big screen.

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

I can't take it anymore! Gimme my 8K now!!!! ...or something like that.

<Jeff is now examining the 8K upgrade queue thread and copying every name on the list ahead of his into a file called HitList2016. Also saving it only to his iPhone so the FBI can't touch it.>

 

[Yannick Sadler]

The best camera, the best lenses and... a hyper low tech blackwrap matte box. I love cinema!

Jarred knows this throws us all into a frenzy! I can understand how riots starts!

 

[Mike P.]

@Dalton haha!

And yeah, those are some choice frames Jarred!

 

[Kyle Stryker]

damn.

 

[brian hanson]

the camera body looks so tiny on that O'connor head

 

[richard peterson]

great stuff 8k anamorphic is hot! What type of riser is used on the DSMC2 top handle to clear the v-mount battery? Check the BTS pictures

 

[Peter Lyons Collister ASC]

Do we know how many sets of these less exist now?

I mean it appears to be a perfect setup.....

 

[Patrick Tresch]

It's going to be more difficult to satify the directors with the "cinematic look I've seen in the theater" they want for their future movie...
It's all about $$$$$ lenses.

S35mm spherical is going to look like TV... ;-)

Phil, do you happen to know the difference in spec between the Vantage XPL52 mount and the Arri XPL mount? Is it just a difference in flange depth?

 

[Andreas Mendritzki]

holy f'ing smokes

 

[Nick Morrison]

Have to say...looks pretty, pretty good!

 

[Brett Reynolds]

Beautiful...Geoff Boyle eating crow...

 

[David Collard]

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm out to lunch on filming anamorphic material.
How does this combination of 8K and anamorphic lens change the visceral or emotional impact?
This is a general question not specific to the test below.

 

[Christopher Probst]

Holy SHIT that mount is HUGE!
