The focus system that I tested was not to my approval, enough so that I declined to put up a review of it. I found it literally unuseable. There are at least two systems that are threatening delivery...

I think if I am understanding you right, Derran, you are asking how long it takes to set up the rig with different cameras? It all depends--film cameras are usually somewhat predictable at this point...

I saw this too and was fascinated as it looked like nothing I'd ever seen. Apparently Sony calls it "Motion Flow", and it is a result of a true 24 frame progressive display (so no pulldown) at...

I have a Sekonic spot meter that has a 1/50 setting (effectively the same as 1/48) all the way at one end of the shutter speed range--sorry, forgot which end offhand.

Get the battery that powers the rig and at least the light, down the road you can always add on the camera power box from Dolgin if you find you need it.
