Re: Any software from Sony?
I think there is a free version of Vegas.
If you use FCPX or Premier even Avid will just import from the SDXC card.
Happy Thanksgiving.

I started this session with an old Canon FD 50mm f1.4 lens from the 70’s, not sharpest lens wide open, but I always liked this lens. And...

Re: New Sony PXW-FS5
Canon makes a TA-100 that is only the front dovetail on the VCT14. It is much lighter and works very well.
You can get VCT-14 front wedges to go on any camera for $59.00.
I used to use the VCT14...

Re: Cameras like a7s used in ENG style?
Peter, do you mean a brick size battery? Like an AB or IDX V-mount or Gold-Mount.
If so I can do those as well, but bear in mind those batteries are 14.8v and I use the voltage regulated plates...

Re: Focus Does Not Match Markings On Lens
You could mark the back of a tape measure to match the markings on the lens and use that for the "traditional film school way" to focus.
Just a thought...
I would also make sure infinity is...

Re: Doug Jensen's Sony PXW-FS7 Master Class
I agree with Doug on this one. I would use a cam like the EX1 or EX3 or even a ⅔" cam with ENG lens for this type of shoot.
The large DOF makes it easy to manually focus in the changing scene. I...

Re: XQD Compatibility Question
The S & N Old cards do not work in the new G adapter.
This is what I have read several places, I have not tried myself as I only have the new cards.

Re: FS7 good replacement for EX3?
I do have 2 of the 50mm 1.4's, I don't like the Bokeh in either FD or EF. I do use them sometimes if I need really fast lenses, but the Bokeh is so much nicer in my other lenses that I guess I am...

I still have my EX3 and I use it a lot if I really need to move fast and nail focus quickly. It is still an excellent camera.
The FS7 is great though it has some early teething problems, none...
