Re: Girls, Guns, and a 5D

Re: Matching DSLR & XLH1 - anyone doing this?
Thanks Marty,
I'm glad I've hung on to the H1 then. It was not really worth selling anyways. I'll look at the Samurai more closely. I remember the first of these HD-SDI recorders I looked at a few...

Re: Canon 70-200 f2.8 for Video?
Luc,
Are you talking about shooting video or stills? I have a non-IS 70-200 2.8 and really can't shoot handheld video... not because of the weight, more because the images look bad, either jello,...

If you're seeing it one way, and I'm seeing it the other, then it probably matches pretty good. : )
Actually though, I only use the pair together when shooting weddings, which isn't...

There's a reason that some of us rely on opinion leaders to read and decipher literature like that, before maybe camera purchase decisions. Thanks for posting. I'll let the pixel peepers have...

Re: Matching DSLR & XLH1 - anyone doing this?
Simon,
I've been matching 5d2 and XLH1 for 2 years now and the H1 does look soft by comparison, but I was not using a nanoflash, so you should have a much better sharpness match. I usually shoot...

Ollie,
I just found an absolutely mint Sekonic 398M on ebay for $50.00. They are manual but they work great and don't need batteries. Plus, they look way cooler than the digitals.

This is great, and a hell of a lot of work. Also a very good edit. I would love to see the 'behind the scenes' version.
I will watch it a few more times as I get the chance.
