And for those who care, it was shot on a Sony Z1U.

It is a wonderful, gem of a movie with a KILLER soundtrack.

They are performing in Boston soon and I hope to see them.

I am not Barry, but my guess to your question is Yes, it would probably look worse as a 35mm theatrical blow up than a more robust HD video camera.

These cams make lovely images though and many of...

Jim, this is a great idea and count me in, but doesn't it make more sense for Tramm to be selling the Magic Lantern software instead of giving it away. Probably more 7D users would buy it for 50...

There might be a Nikon to EOS adapter that sends the electronics but most don't so you cannot use the light meter in the cam.

BTW, what adapter are you using and are you happy with it. I bought...

So are people happy with the cheaper Nikon to EOS adapters. I bought one (maybe 18 bucks) from my local camera shop and there was so much slop in it that it is useless. B+H has one for about 270...

This looks great. Will definitely give it a try. I still felt that I was getting pretty contrasty images with the contrast dialed down in camera, so this will probably help.

James,
I am finding it hard to see if there is banding with either of the 2 images you just posted. In fact the first pics you posted I could just barely see it. Maybe I am not looking at the...

I really like the Zacuto, but have not tried others. It seems to stay on quite snuggly and I like the lanyard. You can get the Z-bands if you want a more snug fit. I think it's probably worth the...
