    Hi Dom! it’s been a while! About this lens, the asymmetrical vignette is a definite sign of no S16. From my experience of rebuilding 35mm lenses to cover large format sensors, do you think that there is a matte behind the rear element or is it the rear element itself causing the vignette? Also, would there be an iris stop that could be removed to allow the iris to open further to prevent vignetting? Thanks! G
  2. Gregory Irwin
    3 things: 1. Would you take a picture of the rear element? Let’s see what that looks like. 2. Does it vignette all the way through the zoom range or does it begin at a specific focal length? 3. How is the vignetting at wide open? I'm guessing that it’s either the rear element that is the source of the vignette or there is a matte inside of the element that may be possible to remove. G

    Hello all! I would like to share this recent interview I did for the Cinematography Podcast on how I run the business of my camera department with regard's to the Studio, producers and the filmmakers (director and cinematographer). The actual interview begins just before the 12 minute mark. Enjoy!

    I did To Live and Die in LA Rules of Engagement Bluechips and one that never got released and I can’t remember the name of it. He truly relied on the camera department but also had very high expectations and never gave us a break. He had zero tolerance for someone not paying attention or doing their job at the highest level. He had this thing about calling “Action”. He would never say it so it was always a guessing game as to when to roll the camera. We worked under extreme pressure. That’s for sure!! G

    I did four pictures with Billy. He was a one of a kind to be sure. Great director and very disciplined. He was tough on everyone! G
