I just shot on a stage, greenscreen with talent, everything looked

sharp, even looked through the lens and did a slow pull back today

and it remains sharp. Footage is soft either because of a bad transfer

or perhaps the lens is not optimized anymore. Question is it

possible for the image to be sharp in the viewfinder yet slightly

out of focus on the film? 7248 Arri SR l6 with 10-100 Zeiss 3.3 shot at 3.3.

If you have a perspective email me at echofilm@mindspring.com

thanks alot and good shooting Norm Nelson

It is possible that your fiberoptic screen depth is off compared to your gate depth, so while it is sharp in the eyepiece it is not to the film. This is an easy bench test at a camera rental/service house.

Hi,

 

Every time this is mentioned it occurs to me that this simply has to be the most gut-wrenchingly terrifying possibility in the field of motion imaging. A viewfinder that can lie to you!? Aaargh!
