Re: Canon 24-70mm L with Sigma 50mm 1.4f ?
I have the 24-70 2.8L and the Canon 50mm 1.4
Gotta say they are different animals. Even though there's overlap with the focal length, they have completely different looks. I'm sure the Sigma 50 1.4...

Re: How is this orchestral concert miked?
Even a seasoned engineer could make a mess of all those mics. All the more reason to think the close mics were not the essential part of this mix. It sounded very open and natural on my monitors.

Re: How is this orchestral concert miked?

Re: Thoughts on Roland R-88 mixer/recorder
A while back I bought a Zoom R16 which is an 16-track unit (records up to 8 at once). Battery powered and is the same audio quality as the H4n. It's very light and about the size of a laptop. Not...

Re: Using Manfrotto 501PL plate on Sachtler FSB-6?
It's not a direct fit...you have to get the Manfrotto 577 which you will attach to the FSB-6 plate (use the 3/8" screw) so it really doesn't matter which style the FSB-6 is. I did this right after...

Subtle difference between the mk3 and 7D which I used til the mk3 came out.
And "excels" is a very subjective term in this situation. It really comes down to sensor size and noise reduction. Most...

Re: Can External Recorder Help in Low Light?
I agree with all of this.
Simply put, right tool for the job. I LOVE my XF300 and do a ton of greenscreen work with it. It does OK in low light and I use Neat for cleanup but if I know I'm going to...
