Re: Metabones Speed Booster
David, that might apply to stills images where the full frame bodies tend to provide a better photo quality than cameras with a smaller sensor, but when most of the top-tier full-frame and crop-frame...

Re: is the Canon XHA1 still a good camera?
I even used to use the Canon XL HD 6X zoom lens on my old XL2 and it was a huge improvement over the XL 3X lens. The 6X lens was definitely the top of the hill for the XL line of cameras and it was...

Re: Metabones Speed Booster
I've just read the report by James Miller on Philip Bloom's site. James seems to think that not only is light intensity enhanced through the lens (to provide that lift in f/stop speed), but the...

Re: Metabones Speed Booster
This is very interesting. I've been looking at buying the Panasonic 7-14mm for underwater photography and filming to get wider framing on my 4/3 body, but the Speed Booster would turn my 14-45mm IOS...

Re: New 5d3 - Now what? EVF or LCDVF or Zfinder?
Josh, a shady street vendor with sores on his face seems a viable option, but if he's been moved on by the cops, buy from most hardware or DIY stores and large supermarkets, or online websites or...

Re: New 5d3 - Now what? EVF or LCDVF or Zfinder?
Nigel, I have seen 5D Mk3 pop-up LCD shades available from time to time on Ebay, so they are made, although not as many seem to be sold as the ones that fit the Mk2.
If you are having trouble...

Re: New 5d3 - Now what? EVF or LCDVF or Zfinder?
I first stick the Hasselblad loup to the pop-up shade using a decent bonding agent, such as Araldite or similar strong glue that provides a bit of flex across wide temperature ranges of severe heat...

Re: New 5d3 - Now what? EVF or LCDVF or Zfinder?

Re: New 5d3 - Now what? EVF or LCDVF or Zfinder?
With my Hasselblad Chimney Loup there is no glue needed to keep it on the 5D live-view screen, nor sticky frames or elastic bands, or magnets.
The Hasselblad is joined permanently to a separate...

Re: New 5d3 - Now what? EVF or LCDVF or Zfinder?
In my view it is far better to use a very high quality loup that can be fitted to the 5D and most other cameras by simply gluing it permanently to a cheap viewfinder shade. It is also a cheaper and...

There is no way that compression is a big contributing factor to the extreme noise-volume-levels of commercials shown on worldwide TV Channels...

Re: C.A.L.M act takes effect.
I've always hated the dreaded 'full-blast' noise of commercial breaks compared to the much lower noise levels during normal programs and films. In fact, most movies shown on TV tend to be at...

I'm glad that you made the right choice that you're happy with, Paul. Which lenses did you finally match with the C300 & 1DX bodies?
Let us know how you get on with the new equipment over the...

I truly can't understand why Canon crippled Wifi in video mode. I didn't even realise this until reading this thread. That's yet another big plus factor for the new GH3.
