Schneider. The Xenon's and Cinegon's are about as good as you're going to get in a c-mount. You should be able to find a 25mm or 50mm pretty easy for between $100 and $300.

If you can't find what you want on eBay, trying looking at Igor's Camera, (www.igorcamera.com) I've gotten good deals on used lenses from there in the past, and the lenses were fine.

I feel like last of the dead in here..anyone awake and ALIVE anymore? Rob? Steve? Even Wayne?? Jason?

We are so close now it's SICK..I can FEEL victory in my bones!

the 64bit card is so FAST! 24FPS 12bit should NOT be any issue for this thing..and the Dothan CPU is FAST and cool running..


again..can someone provide some FTP space?

how many megs will be your upload?

I am not sure..but I will try and keep it small..stills and some video in the windows media codec

If you let me know exactly how much, I can probably get you a host.

I'm here Obin :)

Just my throat hurst and I can't sleep :(

Like everybody else, I'm just waiting to see some more tantalizing stills :)

Obin,
Try them:

Hey why did you put poor Jason after me ;)

You are allways going to get FTP problems because raw files are huge, and tons of people downloading will max out the account. I suggest you mirror if you can and use a lot of sample stills and a few sequences of good short shots, like you did with the 1300.

I wonder if dvinfo.net might host them, they do that already with the DOF adapters.

Ohh, and check this out, a new Micron 2MP sensor:

I know it might be optimal lighting, but I think it is remarkable for a cheap phone sensor. It will be interesting what they come up with in the future in the video sensors.

Wayne

wow that is a nice cell phone image! I love CMOS..so much nicer then CCD

I might be able to do some hosting, but it would need to be limited to one or two of the very best clips, and I would need to know the file size (the weight) of the clip in advance.

Again Sorry Obin , I checked the provider of the ftp account and it does not allow uploading if the domain is not .fr

But an idea :
seed a torrent !

Okay Obin,

I can host for you, although I'm on a DSL line, so it's not perfect (1.5Mb/s). But I think it should be good for about a week.

ftp://windowsfs:windowsfs@68.166.68.130/Public

user: windowsfs
password: windowsfs

Just upload as you please, but again, beware that I'm not on a T1 (but I'm almost as fast)!

Also don't use the drop box.

Also by next tursday I'll be taking it offline, since I don't want my machine as a true FTP server.

Obin, have you done any work on a case design yet or are you strictly working on getting everything working first?

That made me think, how is your design Rob?

no case design yet..taht will be the easy part of this project!

I think we found the problem with our current display issues..looks like with the new cl2 64bit card you must use the newer SDK XCLIB kit..we are still using an older one in the compile that we are working with now...i will know soon if this is the issue and then i can shoot stuff with no dropped frames low cpu usage and full motion preview!..then i will psot some raw some tiff and some wmv video..

I can't tell everyone how glad I am our 64bit card is working..that problem almost put a lid on this project for good...

I am sending the crappy lens back and getting a Kern Pillard lens instead...

I would be happy to let some people try the software as soon as we get the basics really working well..you would need to buy a SI 3300RGB and a Epix CL2 card to use things..or you could get a 1920HD ALtasnse from SI! but that will cost a bit more
