hello all! I am REAL indian cinematographer, REALLY working in India :) (just about started, only two features and three years old, post film school) yet to see Slumdog, got it as a torrent download, but refuse to watch it and will do so only at the theatres. i am sure its a well made film, and I look forward to seeing it. BTW, not all Indian films are about escape from reality etc, some are downright ridiculous ;) while some others are really masterpieces. must watch out for the Gain and video banding...

Seems like nobody has faced this. my thought is, the photo sensitive cell is somehow over-sensitive to the blue end of the spectrum. But how?

My sekonic L558 Cine is behaving rather strangely. It underexposes by 1/3 to 2/3 of a stop under colour temperatures higher than 3200. when checked with two different Minolta 4Fs, the L558c gives a matching reading in tungsten light. In daylight, it tends to underexpose, anywhere from 1/3 to 2/3 of a stop, dependng on time of day. (the minoltas always matched).Two mails to Sekonic have yielded no results. Has anyone faced this? Does anyone know if this can be solved? Or should I just junk this one a get a new L758c? Sekonic again?

i live in a 50Hz PAL country and shooting a PAL monitor at 25FPS (180 shutter) is pretty easy. You quickly switch the old Arri III on and off a couple of times, until the black bar goes out of the monitor. Then you roll!!
