A hard case like a Pelican or a Storm (also my case of choice of this type) will protect against dust better than any other kind of case since it has a rubber gasket. This is why they have purge...

I understand what you are saying about the adaptors, perhaps I should explain that I have used them also (and I own a Mini35). What I was responding to initially was Tyson's question of what...

I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you fellows on this one (shades of "Office Space" there). That looks like a good 100mm to me, there's a lot of compression between Caruso and the...

If you ever have need to adjust iris during a shot, the 14x is the way to go. I had one for years and loved it. For the few times that I needed a motorized zoom, I was lucky enough to own an outboard...

I wish the whole film was still up online, but it appears that Greg (the director) is looking to sell DVD's of it and obviously this would be counter-productive to his efforts.

This likely means that the gimbal is non-linear, which is to say that the center post is not 100% centered within the gimbal itself. It can probably be improved with shims. This sort of thing is...
