Re: How is the Tokina 11-16mm on the C300

The Tokina 11-16mm is a super-wide. It's a great lens, I use it a lot. There are a few shots taken with it on a C300 in this video (it starts 30 seconds in):

Re: viewfinder reccomendations

I've been using the LCDVF for the past 2 years on all my DSLRs. It's cheap, simple and effective. I'd highly recommend it.

Re: Tell me what is GOOD about FCP X

Actually, the biggest group of complainers are young guys who have been brought up editing on FCP. They've not seen change before and they can't handle it.

Re: chronic 7D flickering issue

No, that's wrong. On both the 5D and 7D cameras you just select "M" on the main dial. No need to delve into menu settings.

Re: Base line shutter speed.

Strobing is stuttering or jittery motion. Sometimes it's done deliberately for dramatic effect, like some action shots in Saving Private Ryan.

Re: Base line shutter speed.

Oops, just realised I didn't answer your question! All things being equal, shutter speed should be half the frame rate; so at 25fps you should be at 1/50th. This will deliver motion blur similar to a...

Re: Buying a New 5d for myself need advice...Please Help

My recommendation for two lenses:

Canon 24-70 f/2.8 and Canon 70-200 f/2.8.

Add to those the single most cost effective and useful accessory:

LCDVF

There's no secret sauce here, just a water bowser and bit of backlighting. Simple really.

Re: Fallout from todays FCP screen cap leaks.

Given the way Apple have handled the prerelease of FCPX it was always going to be a target for hackers and whilst I think hackers are a PITA, I don't think it's the end of the world to have a few...

Re: ProRes Export Darkens Footage

Welcome to the Apple gamma bug.

This is a widely known/debated topic. In theory, the issue should be sorted next week with the release of FCPX which doesn't use QuickTime for colour management.

Re: Shooting Speeds - 50th or 100th?

It's not jittery because Twixtor makes the in-between frames. It doesn't always work, but when it does it is very effective.

Re: Shooting Speeds - 50th or 100th?

That's normal.

A higher shutter speed will result in a sharper image as there is less motion blur. The downside is that it will cause strobing. It will be fine on some shots, no so on others.

Re: P+S TECHNIK X35 Announced - wait another 23 days...

Maybe "target" was the wrong word. They wont match Alexa in dynamic range, but compete with it by offering higher frame rates and a lower price point. Also, I noticed in the Specs it will offer 2K...

Re: Trying to establish a day rate...help?

Rental rate is usually between 0.5% and 2%.

Re: P+S TECHNIK X35 Announced - wait another 23 days...

Well, it certainly looks more like a tumble dryer than movie camera. The specs also look rather so,so to me. Though I do like the 1-450fps and RAW.

Still, I'm interested to see the price point...

Re: Tokina 11-16 has never felt sharp compared to my other lenses

Stephen,

I can recommend the LCDVF - that in itself should help you produce sharper images. I can also recommend the Tokina 11-16mm; it's an excellent lens, I use it all the time. But, like most...

Re: Technicolor Cinestyle Initial Tests

It's interesting that you can see a difference using ProRes4444. My own tests showed no difference apart from a much larger file size. The difference in the two tests is that you are...

Re: Low Apertures and ND Filters

Stacking NDs if fine. Buying a stronger ND is better. Try getting a 1.5 or a 1.8. On a sunny day, shooting at 1/50th/ISO100 with a 1.5ND will get you to f/4, with a 1.8 will you'll to f2.8.

Re: Technicolor Cinestyle Initial Tests

There's certainly less noise and better colour fidelity when properly using this PP/LUT but using ProRes444 wont improve performance - it will just waste hard disk space.
