Re: GH3 - no expanded focus while recording!

Sorry I am going to be hard on you - I suggest you get back to basics and learn how to shoot - from the beginning. Then you may hesitate before you complain about not being able to focus and like the...

Re: FS-100 Shoot in Japan

Thanks - some notes:

monopod was a good thought.
I used the very lightweight Gitzo Mountaineer tripod - in some cases not even folding it out fully due to the crowds all pushing to see the...

Re: Minor FCPX success story

Are you saying that you converted the stereo track to 5.1 surround? Or was the 5.1 tracks supplied to you?

Re: Advice for working with someone who is doing subtitles for me?

Use Subit - its free and easy to use and saves a lot of time.

Enter the subtitles in its own program while you look at a low-res of your original footage - Subit generates an xml file, which you...

Re: Holding off purchasing nex FS100

Re: Nikon & Sony 18-200mm comparison on the FS100

I believe some non Sony lenses do work with built in image stabilization - The Sigma for example in A-mount. There is a video test footage around and you can hear the 'wirr' as the IS comes into...

Re: Nikon & Sony 18-200mm comparison on the FS100

I shot a quick interview last week on the FS-100 with the Samyang (Rokinon in the USA) 85mm... an amazing bargain lens that I have touted for a long time. F1.4 and superb in the late afternoon light....

Re: Nikon & Sony 18-200mm comparison on the FS100

I see more Canon than any other brand - especially in Asia where I am right now - Canon everywhere!

But no one would consider Canon for video unless they had a huge investment in them - which is...

Re: Nikon & Sony 18-200mm comparison on the FS100

I am not talking about the speed of those lenses but more that they are variable aperture lenses - extreme variables like the f/3.5 to 6.3 are starter lenses. Designed to get a person off the ground...

Re: Nikon & Sony 18-200mm comparison on the FS100

Well a 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 is not a lens I would consider for someone making a living at this - lets be real.
Even for ENG style and run and gun docs.

The FS-100 camera deserves a better lens.

Re: Nikon & Sony 18-200mm comparison on the FS100

I would go with the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 over these lenses. Its available in A-mount.

Better bang for the buck.

Re: Another lens and adapter question

The Rokinon lenses also come with A-mount which is what I use with the Sony adapter - this way you know its the best fit.

re: Companion camera for the FS100?

I will be using my GH2 as a second cam.

I have owned or used most all of the Canon's in the last two years ... the GH2 blows them away. It's my stealth doco camera. I think it will work well with...

Re: SCCE pt.2

Unfortunately one very important video DSLR was missing ... the GH2.

This would have really toppled the applecart and give the AF100 and even give the F3 a tough fight.

The Rokinon lenses are available in Alpha mount as well so you can just use the Sony adapter.
