Bit quiet. . .
 

. . hmmm . . bit quiet around here lately . . ?

No issues?

No problems?

.. .

Grazie

Interestingly, our GL2 forum is easily the largest on the internet for this camera. Maybe everybody's out shooting!

"Maybe everybody's out shooting!" . . . very nice Chris . . like it! Put me in my place . . .

But there again we do have the BIGGEST forum . . . must be quiet 'cos we give loads of value advice .. yes?

. . . Grazie

Yup -- maybe all the questions have been answered! So now we're dealing with a "silent" majority...

Maybe everybody's eagerly awaiting the GL3. Doh- I should've said that in the Area 51 forum. Now I've gone and done it.

GL3 or XM3 . .surely? . . yeah . . and stop calling me Shirley . . ..


Grazie

...but it's got to be black! I don't want silver, or sludgey green - it's go to be black black black!


( err, I feel better now ;-) )

Robin

It's always like this in the fall. It will start getting busier around the middle to the end of November. This is the lull before the holidays.

Ah, the Fall.
I've always wanted to visit Vermont to see the Fall.
I end up seeing it via webcams on the internet.
I've have this feeling that we're going to have a beautiful Autumn here in the UK this year. Time to get out the Vivaldi again...

Robin

Jeff! . . . "This is the lill before the holidays." . . . Haven't had the pleasure of meeting her .. I think?


"Time to get out the Vivaldi again . . . " - Robin's euphormism for getting out his ARRI MATTE BOX . . . which he is gonna leave me . . . I want a MATTE BOX NOW! ! ! !


Grazie . . . . .

Lill or lull, what's the difference among friends?

Grazie babe - you are getting paranoid about matte boxes!!!
All I meant was that a nice bit of Vivaldi on the old sound track would sound a treat with all those shots of golden foliage...
Or Delius, or Albinoni...
(but not Wagner)
Whoever heard of a matte box called Vivaldi...huh!!!

Ciao,

Robin

Well... Aside from a dead firewire issue, things have been fine with my trusty GL1. I don't get to use it much, just the occasional job.

And that 1394 issue? It seems my Storm card went belly up. It was RMA'd, and is on it's way back to Canopus to get fixed... I mean REPAIRED ;)

Grazie, what's this whole thing about the matte box!!?? lol
I'm getting worried, you've been going on about this for ages.

Lets face it, they don't look too good on an ickle XM2.....and that’s all it's for .........isn’t it??...so it looks good. I've got you figured out ... ;)

Robin, Kieth & Richard, thanks . . . Changed my seating position - chair was too high . ..

Oh and Richard, you've really sussed me - I think this looks really neat:

It's Robin's . . . .

Grazie

Grazie, I guess I can see what u mean, but it’s too front heavy IMO.

I tried the same sort of thing with Bronica lens bellows; it looked pretty much identical to that.

<<<-- Originally posted by Richard Lewis :it’s too front heavy IMO. -->>>

Not on a tripod Richard - and even going handheld, the rods allow one to grip the front really well.
No problems whatsoever...

Robin

So - there we have it! The XM2 works well with a Matte box with rods AND looks kinda sexy too!

. . more than can be said about ManU at Prague at the moment - Ah Richard . . shame . . .


. . .

Robin, how about telling me then about some secondhand camera shops/markets for old stuff . . ?

Grazie

"more than can be said about ManU at Prague at the moment" lets not make this personal lol

And it "LOOKS" a bit front heavy, the same as when u have your WD58 on.

Come on Man U !!
...ok, it's a very boring match atm....we still got 1 minute left!

Let's not get bogged down about the way a camera looks, shall we? Surely it's how they take pictures and record sound that's important...
-though mind you, I'd prefer a dark colour on a camera any day ;-)

Robin.

This IS the best thread EVER on this Forum . . . probably on the whole of the Internet too!

Robin very funny . .. very funny . . . ;)

Grazie

Well Grazie, you started it ... yeah?
Going on about how quiet it was in XM2 land - remember?
You're right, it is quiet - so quiet you can hear the motor noise on a Canon ;-)

Stay cool my man..

Robin
