Which is what I thought!

Personally I would go with the Pancros, I like the cooke look. You have modern lenses with good lens spacing. 10 years ago you could not give away a set of Standards! The wide Sandards porthole with digital sensors so you have to stop down to T2.8 or more in any case.

TV's used to have a huge amount of cut off, so action safe was important. If the clip is used on the web there will ber zero cut off. In any case why should heads not be cut some of the time especially when bald!

Sykpe? it's free to a landline

There is very little & sometimes zero cut off on a modern flat panel.

Pick up the phone & ask him!

Age & Speed of the stock would be usegul to know & how the film was stored. FWIW I did once use 5 year old 800ISO stock that had not been in a fridge, exposing at 800 ISO it looked like a snow storm!

You need to overexpose old negative stock by at least 1 stop, possibly 2 stops.

It will be interesting to see if Red take the same view when the day comes.

You can't actually sell it until after yout Epic X is delivered or you risk voiding your upgrade path.

Hi Keith I think it's great news that people with money can go ahead and buy am Epic M, whilst the stage 2 folks who paid a $5,000 deposit a year ago have to wait. Whats even funnier is they get EVF's when owners of Red one are still happily waiting in line. I don't think any one here hates RED, we just have a sense of humour & don't take what any 1 company too seriously, life is too short.

I think you will find the rate is 25 fps in Europe. 16:9 would be normal.

I am not sure many people here are getting emotional, they just think it's all a big joke.

Hi David, That explains why the 600 was a flop in Europe, by the time it arrived there was no real reason to buy one. Stephen

The first 700 to arrive in Switzerland was late 95, I was at IBC in September 94 and neither 600 or 700 were there.

Duplicate post which I can't delete!

Hi Richard, That must be after the 'cartoon' of crossing the line, you as a sustaining member were able to delete some of your posts, money well spent IMHO! Best Stephen

Hi David, 99% sure the 600 came after the 700 Digi Beta, it's basically a 700 that records to beta SP, the 700 was at least a year after the DigiBeta record decks so my money is on around 1995/6 Best Stephen Edit I remember it was after the 700 by several months, I had been using the 700 for several months and wondered who on earth would want a 600 with drop outs that BCSP provided when it was first announced. Very few were sold in Europe. In 1986 state of the art were tube cameras with Betacam recorders, Betacam SP came a couple of years later well after D1.

Whilst they may well be in range, you should always pull focus IMHO.

I remember a very similar quote several years ago from an 'A' list director about an original 'pre release' Red One camera.

That lens would be from early 1960's when the MK II came out, the SB's were in the manual along with the Arg. 25-250 3.9. I know of a mint set, one of which is really radioactive!

As Stewart already said, a FOV change by moving backwards which has the same effect as changing the lens. It's really a question for the "Students and First Time Filmmakers" forum

Arri?

At that budget level, it's really just a choice, do some tests with your DOP & choose what fits the script best. If there was loads of Children, Animals, night shoots, green screens I would probably go with Alexa, however I generally prefer film & work with low budgets.

It's one of those things where you can make the no's go any way you want. I know 35mm features shot with a photochemical finish where the crew got paid for $100,000. What's your budget, what sort of Digital do you want to use? Alexa, F35, Epic or EX3?
