That's the way it goes. The larger an image is the lighter it appears to our eyes. That's why you often print larger prints darker than smaller ones... Cheers, Dave

Servas!

Hi Chris, an old typesetter's trick: read your text backwards. Start at the end of each paragraph. Good way to find typos. And then read it the normal way to fix the grammar if need be. Hope that helps, Dave

IIRC you can even choose the color for peaking! I also liked the 1:1 zoom mode and the ability to select one of nine regions like a tic tac toe board for zoom in. Built in WFM isn't bad either. Cheers, Dave

Hi Ross, why can't you bounce? Are you moving with the talent? Have someone walk with a folding reflector. Cheers, Dave

Hi Jamie, that's an old Nikon, pre-AI quite possibly. You can see the rabbit ears for the meter coupling ridge present on old Nikon F bodies. Interesting lens though. Why not buy a Nikkor? The 135/2.8 can be had for a song these days. But it's not that good a lens. Might as well go for 135/2! Cheers, Dave

Hi Steve, I haven't shot cameras of that class yet, but for other HD work (HPX-3000 et al) I liked this one quite a lot: Panasonic BT-LH80WU. Cheers, Dave

Wow, Max. This is awesome! I'm sure the movie will be even better than the trailer! Cheers, Dave

Hm, according to what my tech told me beneath that CA mount there is a C mount as well. But maybe that wasn't true for all NPRs.... Cheers, Dave

IIRC all NPRs are C mount. Even the CA mount (or int he case of mine, Arri Bayo) were attached on top of that. So if you strip the Ca mount you should have one with two C mounts, unless it was modified before... Cheers, Dave

Yeah. In B&W that should be the only difference there is IIRC. Cheers, Dave

Hi Tim, I think there are pics in Box' Set Lighting Technician in case you have a copy on hand... Cheers, Dave

I'd say it could be done by a dissolve from the color print to a B&W one... Not sure though. Cheers, Dave

Yes, quite true. It also changes over the years. In the past the majority of lenses used was of longer focal lengths than today. Of course this is also influenced by the availability of shorter lenses. Cheers, Dave

Well, what about synchronization? Works rather well over here. Still, I prefer to watch movies in their original languages if I understand at least a bit. Cheers, Dave

Hi Jonathan, did you see a purple edge only? No corresponding yellow edge not he opposite side of the detail? And did occur on edges with large differences in brightness? If it was blue only and on highlight edges only it could have been purple fringing, a type of CA known as axial chromatic aberration. Wiki on purple fringing. This stuff drove me crazy when I shot with DSLR with CCDs. It is very much better with CMOS chips. Read the wiki entry to learn why people think so. Cheers, Dave

Second that. There's so much bullsh*it info about lenses out there. Glass is such an important topic in cinematography/photography that it deserves being a stickler for it. Regards, Dave

Yep, that's what I would do. Or they change the circumstances of the shoot. Better than to have legal trouble and damaged or lost personal gear. Saying NO is what saves your rear end at times! Cheers, Dave

Is that stuff the same as Neverdull? Regards, Dave

I guess that's what is called a typo. David of course meant 1.85:1, 1.85 in short! Cheers, Dave

Hi abhijit, please change your name to first and last name as per forum rules. It's been a while since I shot on one of these. But I seem to remember that it was somewhere around 320-500 ISO. But that could have been the 570WSP which is a little faster still. Regards, Dave

What about 65mm glass? Would that be too heavy? What is normally used to shoot Vista after all? Cheers, Dave

"Oh no, ma'am, you're not old! But we won't see any wrinkles. I swear!" Cheers, David

But it's not the exodus of Bolex kind, is it? Send to picture to some image service (or to me) and have it uploaded, if it is larger than what this site allows. Cheers, Dave

Hi Jean Lous, oh the envy! :D How many do you have? What's the oldest one? Cheers, Dave
