Let me know if you are still interested and I can send some photos to your email address. I am interested in your tripod, could you send pics? thanks!

Thanks Eric, thats helpful info. I realize thaty there is no real right or wrong and most of it is subjective. I guess I was looking for setting(s) that would be neutral and simply just a clean image to start with so that I may have better control of colors in post IF need be. I'm sure I will figure it out.

I would like to take pictures of fried chicken and yogurt with the VARICAM. Does anyone know of a good recipe with all of the many settings for a low contrast, minimal noise, low fat image. Not too heavy on the saturation..... Yes Chad, I am serious...

anyone with experience shooting food in HD?

Shooting some "southwestern" style soup and salads soon. Does anyone have experience shooting food with the varicam? if so what are the best settings for rendering food colors? advice is much appreciated!

Thanks Hans, I have tried those things. It hasn't been subject to any extreme weather changes. I feel that it has to do with the lens elements in some way. The spot is a little smaller than a dime on the lcd panel. So it's pretty noticeable. The spot is black so it's not blowing out the image.

My friend has noticed a soft back spot in the middle of the frame while shooting in bright light. I think it happens when the ND's are on. The lens is clean. There are no external filters and it appears in the LCD as well as on the footage. The spot is somewhat opaque with a slightly feathered edge directly in the center frame. any ideas? thanks!!
