  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Well, I'm astounded.

Glad you got your Dragon Paul, seems like you earned it through Malaysia's Custom Paramilitary... I mean Office.

Thanks for sharing.


Ours finally arrived yesterday after a tortuous journey through the bandit-land known as Malaysia's Customs Office.

After seeing these recent threads about noise and low light performance I was prepared to be a little disappointed. So I took it out on a test shoot last night around Kuala Lumpur, under streetlights, horrible mixed lights sources of a night market and into a nightclub/bars area. I shot everything at 800 ISO, with some nice fast Contax Zeiss lenses and the Sigma 35mm ART, 25fps 180° shutter. All incidental light.

And this morning I'm amazed. The Dragon appears, to me, to be a quantum leap over the MX sensor. There's a little bit of noise in the shadows but it's very analog and entirely bearable. The subtlety is incredible. There's a short album of highlights here.

Well done, Red Team. Congratulations on making such a world class product.
 
Paul, your footage should be utilized by the powers that be to encourage travel to Kuala Lumpur... watching that made me want to travel.
