Re: (back?) focus issue?
So, it turns out it was an issue with the Metabones smart adapter.
I took my camera and adapter to Abel today and had a technician look at it.
There were two screws on the adapter which had...

Re: (back?) focus issue?
Hi Bo-Ming. I have the smart adapter, not the Speed Booster. You are correct in that I cannot focus to infinity, but closer distances are ok (I can't get a good focus more than about 2-3 meters or...

Re: (back?) focus issue?
no, my adapter is the straight "smart" adapter. No speed boost.
I've had it and the camera for a few months, and just now noticed this issue.

(back?) focus issue?
I'm having a weird focus issue with some of my Canon (all L-series) lenses on my Sony FS-700 (via the Metabones adapter).
My 70-200mm is fine, no focus issues at any focal length.
My 24-70mm...

Issues shooting at 50hz in the US?
I know this is not a question specific to the FS700, but that is the camera I will be using, so I guess this is a good place to start.
I am shooting tomorrow in the US for a client based in Asia,...

Re: EVF delay is killing me
hmmmm....interesting.
Usually on these events, the producer hands my a set of cards at the beginning of the shoot and leaves with them at the end, so I'd have to find a workaround for that.

Re: Thoughts on rigs/rods/stabilization?
Yeah, I really had my heart set on the Movcam rig, but when I realized I'd have to pay another $1300 or so for an EVF in order to be able to use it with my camera, I kind of lost interest.
I need...

Re: Removing the LCD Screen
it's an interesting thought, but If the cost is equal, why not leave the LCD and buy EVF?
that way you would have both if you ever need backup, etc., and not have to worry about voiding the...
